jOHN G. BAYNES

John G. Baynes has been elected to the Hall of Fame for his accomplish­ ments in the field of athletic training. Baynes. a native of Pennsylvania and Peace Corps veteran ofEl Salva­ dor, was for the last three decades the University's head athletic trainer. serving 22 women's and men's varsity and a comprehensive Jack Baynes intramurals program. He and his wife. the former Connie Trask, recently moved to Ariwna, where Baynes will provide athletic training services to the Santa Rita secondary school system. Since arriving at Northeastern as an assistant trainer in 1971. Baynes has become synonymous with Husky athletics, as well as athletic training as a discipline. After just one full season at Northeastern, he was promoted to bead the A.T. staff by Dr. George Lane. Since then he would serve four Lane Health Center directors and three athletic directors. In very short time. Baynes asserted himself as a primary cog in the development of varsity athletics at NU. and as a leader in the National Athletic Trainers Association (NAT A). After accepting an invitation from the National Health and Physical Education Association in 1975 to lecture on the subject throughout Mexico, he was selected to the training staff for the Pan American Games that summer. In 1980, he served on the staff of the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. His meteoric rise through the NAT A rank-and-t1le continued as both a new decade and a severe health threat approached. Seemingly minor problems with his neck surfaced in 1983, and, as symptoms lingered into 1985, he underwent further examinations at Mass. General Hospital. Kelly Dyer A team of specialists finally diagnosed the problem--the extremely rare Gorhams Vanishing Bone Disease-in 1983. After undergoing a series of radiation treatments. he continued to fulfill his duties, scarcely missing a beat. A neck collar worn since that time for added stability is the only outward sign of the now arrested disease. In sickness and in health, Baynes framed a Northeastern athletic land­ scape dotted by some of its greatest luminaries. greats Keith Willis, Dan Ross, and Sean "Spider" Jones were just a few of the football players he tended to in the span of three decades of athletic training. In particular, he quotes Keith Motley, now the University's Dean of Students, as a particularly refreshing competitor and student athlete as he prowled the sidelines. Despite the added health pressures, Baynes career nourished. In 1979. he was elected a NATA District Coordinator. Athletic Trainer of the Year honors. Division, came in 1985, which made it even easier for the • NATA governing board to tab him as their vice president. The Association'sDistinguishedServiceAwardin 1993 and the Cramer Award for outstanding contributions to Athletic Training (1991) arc the most recent proof of personal courage and professional resiliency.

ANGELO P. TOYIAS

Angelo P. Toyias, Class of 1956, has been elected to the Hall of Fame for his three-sport achievements as a Husky. A 5' 7, 160-pound speed merchant, Toyias provided major frreworks in football as a kicker, halfback, free safety and linebacker under head coach . He also starred in baseball as a shortstop, and in the dash, Steve Grolnic relay, and javelin events for the Red and Black. One of two sons of Greek immigrants, he grew up in Northeastern's shadow on Dempster Street, and along with fellow Hall of Famers Sid Watson and Gene Renzi helped NU maintain a string of winning football seasons, including the 1953 campaign when the Huskies took six straight after losing the opener to Rhode Island. Toyias' peripatetic three-sport career blossomed at Boston Tech, where he was a leading scorer as a Single Wing halfback under Coach Dutch Holland. At Tech, he earned the Leo Daley Award as the third highest academic standing among 500 Tech graduates, getting him just enough exposure to land him a half scholarship from NU athletic boss Herb Gallagher. Exceptional performances in all three sports at the freshman level - including a starting halfback slot on the undefeated junior varsity team and a bashing cleanup role on the diamond - elevated him to full scholarship status for his sophomore season, when he was one fourth of one of NU's greatest backfields. With Ralph Barisano barking the signals, the Huskies attacked via halfbacks Joe DeRosa and Toyias, and fullback Sid Watson, who would Reggie Lewis go on to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a sophomore on that 1952 squad, Toyias was voted Most Improved Player. In indoor track, he became an immediate point producer for Coach Jerry Tattoo. As a football halfback, he snagged a 54-yard touchdown pass from Barisano to propel Northeastern to a 41-14 victory over powerhouse at . In track and field, he continued to pile up the points in the dash, relay, and javelin events. Later that spring, he earned a spot on the New England collegiate baseball all-star team of 1953, along with Husky ace Don Eason. In the autumn of 1953, he tallied two TO's in the first quarter against Vermont, and racked up over 100 yards rushing and two scores against Rhode Island. As a senior, he was instrumental in a huge shutout victory over Massachusetts (39-0), handling all the kicking duties, helping stuff giant Minuteman tight end Brian Gorman, and catching a TD pass out of the backfield from Barisano. Toyias has enjoyed a fruitful career in the business world, where he now works as a representative of Metropolitan Life. He lives in Chestnut Hill, with his wife of over 40 years, the former Thalia Scantalides of Cam­ bridge and Boston University. Angie Toyias Hall Qf Eam~ Im.had~i:& James L Bell 1974 EdwardS.
