Scope and content
In May of 1936, the Waller Road School baseball team was racking up the victories, with six wins and no defeats. The victories were pretty one sided too, with teams hardly scoring against them. 1936 was the first year that the team had played together and as a team against other schools. Pictured are, front row- seated- left to right: Harvey Weeks, Dean Sullivan, Robert Kemp, Robert Fox, Norman Sturm, Fred Wepfer, Joseph Schaefer. Standing, back row: Pat Rooney, George Metcalf, Ted Infer, Herman Weeks, Bob Infer, Arnold Shonborg and George L. Conquist, Principal and coach. Star shortstop Pat Rooney was a cousin of Jimmy Mosolf, former major leaguer. All of the boys were heavy hitters at the books as well, scoring in academics as well as athletics. (T.
