The team was severely crippled by the lack of experienced veterans, and boasted only two seniors in its ranks, but they were backed up by a large assemblage of underclassmen. Prospects for '57 are much brighter. Hopes are pinned on the pitching of Frank Rechtorovic, and the hitting of Dick Loughlin and Joe Grams flast year's high man in that departmentj. f , v -g: 4:31 f' ' gn. , H jp, V4 wi fda f' Y , .

Munson, D. Munson, R. Tarbox, and Mr. A. Petrongolo, Coach, halt at the net, racquets in hand, ' just before the fray. The spring of 1956 unveiled Tappan Zee's first team to participate in P.S.A.L. tennis competition. Although the key men of the squad were not novices to the sport., they were, for a large part, innocent of competition experience. Despite this handicap, the racquetmen emerged with a creditable record for their first season, coming out with 22 games won, 26 lost. The team was hurt by the loss of Terry Tumulty to baseball, but strong man Butch Flobeck., was backed up creditably by Jeff Munson, Bill Wallace, Tom Hurban, and Don Munson. In their baptism of fire, the team was a credit to Coach Petrongolo. GOLF The tradition of Tappan Zee's golf team, since the introduction of the sport to the school as P.S.A.L. competition, has been victory. The '56 squad lived up to that record by completing the season without losing one match. This marked the fifteenth consecu- tive year that the Dutchmen have won the Rockland County P.S.A.L. Golf Championship. Although they did not fare as well in state competition, Coach Matt Rotelliis greensmen did win the Section 9 title. Row 1: C. Reilly, C. Codello, P. Evers.
