Bob deserves much more than the praise we can give him, because he spent every evening during the season at the Thomist gym, working with the team, simply for the love of the game. Bob' will be back with us again next year.

Red led the team through the hardest schedule it has ever had and did it better than most players could. It was always Red who built up the spirit of the team if it began to fail and it was Red who quieted the players down if they started fouling. Like all other players, Red always wanted to win, but he always placed sportsmanship above a victory. HAROLD J.
