E - BOYS' BASEBALL TEAM !,,..,,,,,,,,,,.,-,,..s,,,-,,m, ,,,, , ,s K4 if I Q 5, ...- w 1 First Row: Levesque, Arcand, Veilleux, Shepard, J., Colwell, Shepard, H., Barry, Anderson. Second Row: Miller, Lisnoff, Lukowic, Tomasso, Terwilliger, Duffy, B'Parlant, Richard, Olney. At the time this article is being written, the team won 2 games and lost 5 in the first round of the schedule. After losing the first five games, the rookies suddenly became acclimated and won two straight vic- tories at the expense of Hope Street High and Classical. Louie Tomasso, captain of the nine, although hobbling' around with a decided limp due to a football injury, has pitched fine ball despite the physical handicap. Louie would have had four victories out of the five games he pitched had the pony infield afforded him better support. Gordon Anderson and Herve Veilleux made their debut on the mound in the Commercial game while Lefty Duffy started the Pawtucket contest. None of these boys have had previous experience as hurlers but show promise in the future. The team as a whole proved Coach McCarthy's statement, made early in the season, that they would hit well against any brand of school- boy pitching. 95

W 'il Wfwllli B - fl BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM Kirby, Duffy, Hawkinson, Eldridge, Maciag, Haramis Archambault, St. Germain, Shepard, J., Shepard, H. The Boys' Basketball Team, playing the hardest schedule ever under- taken by a West Warwick quintet, exhibited a Hne brand of basketball in the majority of its games. The team garnered seven victories and most of the losses were by a small margin. Chief among the victories was the 16-15 triumph over the third-place Cranston teamg the 20-18 victory over Warwick and the 22-20 decision over Woodstock Academy. We lost to Durfee 27-253 to Warwick 21-205 LaSalle, 16-115 Woonsocket 15-10 and Commercial 17-13. These stirring battles are a fine tribute to the boys' spirit and determination even when the odds were against them. The Kent County League, in the first season of its existence, ended in a three-cornered tie resulting in a play-off series. We were eliminated by East Greenwich in a hard battle at Apponaug. Warwick finally won the P. H. Quinn cup. This Utriumvirate' is a fine thing for all three schools involved and has gone far, as was it's intention, to create a better feeling between the neighboring towns. 94
