Billikens Topple Amherst Long hard days of work and eager efforts in each game typified the junior varsity gridders of l957. The highlight of the season CLIITIC when this team. com- posed mainly of freshman boys. defeated Amherst I4-6. However midwa' throu h the season. the team , l was riddled by injuries and afterward encountered tougher going. This year's freshman football team under the coach- ing of Mr. Stearns had a very successful season. The team's only two efforts, both against Nichols, produced overwhelming victories. In these contests the spark plug was Robert Benninger, who electrified spectators with his broken-Held running. XY'ith this and the fact that every member of the team saw action in each game, the seasons to come look bright for the Billies. Frosh Griclclers Undefeafed Run I-R. Deth, P. Crapsi, G.

Showing great defensive and offensive play, they opened the season by dumping Frontier. In the next two games the Billies beat Amherst for the third consecutive year, then conquered Hamburg. Plagued by many injuries and the virus, the Billies were badly hurt. In the XX'est Seneca game the Billies lost the services of star end George Mayer, tackle Ray Voss, and guard Todd Pitts. Next was the Sloan game when Par VC'yatt, Stan Brown, and Dick Benninger were hurt. But as true of all Billies teams they wouldnt give up. Against Orchard Park, seasons champions. our hampered team played one of its best games of the season. After battling the Quakers for three quarters, yard for yard, the crippled Billies were finally overtaken. However, our boys placed well on the All-Star teams. Steve Miles made All-Conference center while halfback Dick Benninger and fullback Stan Brown made the second team. Tom Osinski rounded out the All-Stars by being chosen guard on the Division I team. XX'ith the graduation of six back- field members and eight linemen. the Billies of 1958 look towards a good season if the breaks go their way. Williamsville ...... ....... 5 5 Frontier .......

0610 it junior high Because of the overcrowded conditions in the junior- Senior High School building, it was necessary for the seventh grade to spend the entire year in the Academy Street School. However, this didn't discourage the flood of students who came to our building for many after-school activities. They were also able to take part in a few of the special assembly programs during the year. Wfe missed them this year and look forward to seeing and hearing a lot from them in the future. The eighth grade class was so large that it re- quired the majority of the classrooms on the lower seventh grades R014 I Modaffari, G, Ruddle, E. Folger, j. jackett, j. Tallchief, M. Thuman.

Many eighth graders began freshman subjects this year. These included ninth grade English and math classes in addition to first year Latin and French. These students will have the opportunity to take advantage of extra courses during their lsr years of high school or they may possibly go on to more advanced work in math, science or languages. They are participating in ri progressive program. designed for the more advanced student. i 1 ,J out L J ex N Ruiz I-M. Green, M. Dougher, R. Seefried, D. Reger, VI. Rosenberg, G. Precore. Rim 2 -J.
