pitch that gave us the verdict, 11-10, Far from being counted out, our opponents threatened by getting two men on in the ninth, but Henry Lane came through with a brilliant, back-handed stop of Dick Doy1e's savage drive to bring about a force out of Londergan at the hot corner. During the season we had played better ball than the brand we exhibited against B.C. High that day, but no victory was sweeter than this conquest before the Fathers' and Sons' Day gathering. For the Red-Blue game, Bob McNabb and Larry McAuliffe were named the respec- tive captains and the contest was played the day before graduation, An unusual touch was noticed when Andy McAuliPr'e donned the Blue mask and protector to catch the slants of his brother Larry. Henry Lane was on the Red mound, with jack Boyle as his battery mate, and the converted third sacker twirled so artfully that he was not reached for a safety until the sixth. ,To give Henry contidence, his brother Reds came up with clusters of two and three runs in the 2nd and 5rd innings and they added a final sixth tally in the 4th to put the game on ice. Without the semblance of a hit, the Blues pushed across their lone tally of the day in the Sth, Frank Hennessy scoring from 5rd on an infield bobble. No player on either side was able to secure more than one hit in the seven-inning fray, joe Deignan's triple being the longest drive and'Hilt Collupy's single, the lone Blue safety, As the result of his victory, Bob McNabb joined the St. Sebastian immortals whose fame is enshrined in the commemorative plaques that adorn the refectory walls. Thus the highly successful Baseball season of 1948 came to an end, with the St. Sebastian nine achieving a record of 9 wins in 12 games. Such a record was eminently satisfactory in view of the high caliber of the competition undertaken and the four straight victories over Thayer, Dummer, Exeter and B.C. High probably represent the Schools finest diamond accomplishment. Accordingly, Captain Andy McAuliIfe's 1948 team will always be a strong contender for the title of St. Sebastian's finest diamond aggregation. ' ' sf ' i ,y,, , t 1- 1 it 2.35532 '- Gr es 2 173 I-.

WHO'S WHO IN ARROWMAKING The publication of this record of our five years at St. Sebastian's has been made possible by the generous co-opera- tion of the business firms, institutions and individuals who have purchased space in the following pages. Some of them are charter members who helped to launch the pioneer Arrow three years ago, while others are either doing an encore or making their debut in this yearbook of 1949, All of them have been motivated by an interest in our School and its pupils and hence deserve appropriate consideration from the friends of St. Sebastian's. As beneficiaries of their generosity we are most grateful to them personally and we respectfullysolicit for them the patronage of our readers.
