BOWLING TEAM FRONT ROW: Spoon, Carrington, Foley, Lufty, Mitchell, Riley. ZND ROW: Zona, Secretaryg Burgess, Verrico, Matteau, Kalman, Zawadzki. g0lfUAI'lg 2CtglfLe6 During the early part of October the leagues were organized with thirty-six teams competing. The first semester schedule ended the week before exams with AM-2A winning the 5:50 league championship and AET-2B the 4150 championship. In the playoff, the AET-2B team composed of P. Rieley, F, Spoon and X. Sarnbor was declared semester champs. The AM-2A members were R. Lufty, N. Kalman, W. Matteau and J. Manning. In the lead for yearly scoring honors was F. Spoon with a high single of 150 and and also the high average of 1049, C. Tedford is hoping his high triple of 348 will carry him through. After final exams 26 teams signed up for the spring semester with the hope of dropping AM and AET from the top of their respective leagues and also trying to overcome the scoring leads held by Spoon and Tedford.

ifd eam The confusion of returning to studies again from a quiet summer had hardly been put aside when tryouts were begun. Having selected out of a new crop of nearly fifty freshmen, five new candidates, we went to work to make this team the best team in years. The team faced some of the toughest teams in the East, including M.I.T., North- eastern, Harvard, B.U., and B.C. It is interesting to note that despite VVentworth's handicap of being a two year school, it was still able to keep within one or two points on either side of its competitors. Either because of new, stiff competition coming up through the ranks or possibly due to the fact that they are graduating, Captain Gerald Gent, Arthur Paisley, Edward Smithurst, and Robert Benedict will not be firing next year. Coaching this year's impressive team were two members of VVentworth's faculty, Mr. Robert Edwards, and Mt. David Sturgis. Both these men contributed a great deal to a successful year. FRONT ROW: Mr. Edwards, Ctmcf'a,' Gent, Captainj Smithurst, Benedict, Paisley, Lipman, Mamzger. SECOND ROW: Ripley, Ylonen, Talbot, Shelales, Amann, Bonner.

Its objectives are scientific, literary, and educational. Its aims include advancement in the theory and practice of electronics and in allied branches of engineering. It is also concerned with related arts and sciences. Student branches of the IRE are established in approximately 200 approved col- leges, universities, technical institutes, and other schools throughout the country. The Wentworth Student Branch of the IRE was organized in October, 1954. Its purpose is to acquaint its members with recent developments and techniques in the held of electronics. This is done through such publications as the Proceedings of the IRE, the Student Quarterly, Professional Group publications, and through meetings with the student branch.
