They were full of enthusiasm and pep when the basketball tournament, the big event of the year, came around. It was a hard fought tournament, and the vic- tors had a close final game. The sophomores and jun- iors showed great sportsmanship, which the seniors greatly admired. The seniors will miss basketball, but they will always remember and admire Mrs. Lawson who coached them with skill and friendliness. As the basketball season got underway, Cioach Karl Elerin had to start from scratch. Having lost by gradu- ation all the varsity players, Coach Elerin managed to put together a small, inexperienced but aggressive team In league competition. Stoneham surprised most teams by playing hard, fast basketball. The team was cen- tered around versatile Oz Orsillo. Other seniors who did the playing were John Griffin. Jack Proodian, Harr Shurtleff, Paul Testa. Rob Swift. Rob Richardson, and Rill Anderson. ROYS’ RASKETRALL First Row: W. LaBombanl. E. Pinato. R. Leland. A. Fioncla Second Row ' : R. Richanlson. H.
