To B Before we knew it, the third inning was staring us right in the face. The 55QALp,1'0R spectators took the customary stretch , which resulted in some highly suc- Q T-Z cessful entertainment which took place in the autumn and pushed us on for a . cl harder fight. ' -iBKINGiNG uae-AE THE Bpicow -1 Now came the act that produced a rousing hand from the crowd. This, of course, was a base-clearing double that struck a sign on the outfield wall which read What Every Woman Knows . The fans remembered this out-standing play for weeks to come. Later Bob LaFazia and Doc Russo became high scorers in the inning when they led our school to victory over P.S. du Pont for the third consecutive time and brought home the Governor Bacon Trophy. i .. l Q l o4Q,5wl loci l o X, Toward the end of the inning, as the spectators cheered frantically, most 1 If 1' of them noticed many celebrities throughout the huge stadium and decided that now was the time for autographs.

The sights that they saw and the thrills that they experienced will be imbedded in their memories for many years to come. The biggest spurt and the most exciting one, came on a home run that was belted into the Gold Ballroom, and burst into the Senior Prom. Brilliant strategy was employed when Jack Garnett was contracted to furnish the music. The final performance of the game was literally a grand slam homer . This event was witnessed in the Armory by hundreds of proud parents who had waited for years for this event to come. They sat there beaming with pride and happiness as each watched his favorite player reach home plate safely. As the crowd left the stands, their minds were full of thoughts for the future. One goal had been reached, but this was only the beginning of a drive which was to make this team the future leaders of America. ,224 r WUMARNY 'TNG WS'- -,ii5'5- - . a - -- 11,07 if A . xv Q5 47 , di Q 1 xg I Se it Qi fn' W K9 K - f' 55 wt 5 - if f Mf f f W4mc , y A s L I il , if

On a breezy day in September of '48, the gates of the vast stadium at Delaware Avenue and Monroe Street were once again flung open as we, three hundred-fifty bewildered spectators, groped along to our seats - - some of us to remain spectators and some to be participants in the all-star, all-event game. It did not take us very long to find out that Seat 209 was not next toSeat 210, and that an elevator was not available to reach the upper tiers. After getting situated, we settled back in our seats to hear Commissioner Fulmer's welcoming address, after which he threw out the first ball to start the game rolling. Behind the plate, Chief Umpire Allen bellowed a familiar cry, Play Ball! The inning began with a bang in the form of the Freshman Frolic,which was closely followed by the get-acquainted party for our own team. These events started us off on the right foot and laid the foundation which was to play an important part in our future. The first hits were garnered when Marshall Robertson and Margaret Geiszler were elected battery-mates of our Sophomore Players. Hardly had we settled back and stopped cheering when we were confronted be a class party. This proved to be good strategy for it brought a large turnout that really went for extra bases. Now came the play that brought the crowd to its feet, the Memorial Day Assembly. Pitcher Marshall Robertson lef off by extending greetings to the three participating clergymen, the Reverend Donald Mayberry, The Very Reverend Dr. Thomas A. Lawless, ancl Rabbi Jacob Kraft. This play, as you may recall, followed the traditional pattern that the Memorial Day program be presented by the Sophomore Athletes. The final spark ofthe inning came when Joanne Kreer was sent in to pinch- hit as an eleventh year officer with Marshall Robertson still batting clean-up. We scored again in the second inning with the Thanksgiving Day Assembly in which the combined talents of the band and glee-club, along with the honored guest, The Reverend Mr. Francis J. Tierney of St. Mary's R.C. Church, cleared the bases with a program that will never take a backseat in our memory. With the aid of Coach Gause, the eleventh year class party proved to be a sure bet, as a large number witnessed the rally. B,qp44y 44!
