GRATZ FROM DICARA

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

John Powers is a man of the people. Only John could put into words the smell of the crowd and the sense of the action at the Boston Arena on a weekday afternoon.

I've been going to high school hockey games at the Arena for nearly a decade. Believe me. Powers tells it like it is, as only a guy from Dorchester could. I've seen Freddy Ahearn, Jim Riley and Chuck Carrigan develop through the years. They were all formerly at Boston Latin School, my Alma Mater.

If the CRIMSON seeks to be more relevant to the community in which they reside, they should have more articles concerning the people.

God Bless the good people of the City of Boston. God Bless high school hockey.

P. S.. Two corrections to Powers' article: Jimmy Riley lives in Dorchester (and we're proud of him), not in West Roxbury. Fred Ahearn will hopefully be going to Andover next year. Bill Cleary will have to wait until 1971.
