HEN gold was discovered in Cali­ W fornia in 1849, the great westward movement came to a climax. Thousands of pioneers set out for the distant coast, knowing full well the hardships which 169098 they would encounter. As we pioneers of 1949 set out on life’s journey, we, too, are filled with the brave, eager spirit of fron­ tiersmen. Throughout our progress, may this book be a constant reminder of the place where we built the firm founda­ tions on which our minds, bodies and spirits will grow.

31 I HIS year Coach Kubisa’s Blue Devils started out in much the same way as last Tyear’s squad. Beginning with the 34-29 defeat of Babylon, the Blues ran up a 7 game winning streak beating Babylon, Amityville, Bay Shore, Northport, Port Jefferson, Patchogue, and Sayville. Earlier in the season, Huntington scored victories over Smithtown, South Huntington, Varsity Amityville, Port Jefferson and Patchogue. Losses came at the hands of South Huntington, Babylon, Northport, Lindenhurst, and B a s k e t b a l l Bay Shore. Charlie Johnson injured his ankle and was in only a few scattered lineups in the early part of the season. After his return, he saw regular action and tallied 20 and 23 points to spark wins over Amityville and Bay Shore. Johnny Leith also hurt his ankle but was out for only one game. Dick Gardner, one of last year’s chief contributors to the championship, broke an arm before school opened in September and was unable to see action at all. As far as score books show, Huntington and Babylon were tied for first place with 8 wins and 2 losses each. Bay Shore was second with 7 wins and 3 losses. However, Babylon had to forfeit 8 games which gave Bay Shore the championship with 8 wins and 2 defeats, while HHS was second with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses after forfeiting four games, two of them league tilts, one each to Amityville and Port Jefferson. £u ^ clk County Champions
