Coac In some respects this was a rather disappointing season. Although this was one of the largest seventh grades ever en- rolled at Abbott, there were only about thirty boys who actively participated in football. The poor record of no wins and four losses, however, should not be over-emphasized, as this group of boys showed considerable improvement through hard work and a good team spirit. We can look forward to better things to come during the remainder of their stay at Abbott School. , '60 Fuuback SEVENIH GRADE HHHBAH h Hulmes FIRST ROWeBob Katy, Garry Warren, ErI Runge, Bill Stall, Bill Gieske, John Dibb.

WINNIE SPIJIHS The girls' gym classes, under the di- rection of Miss Sorby, have participated in a number of activities during the year. Some of the popular sports were hockey, basketball, modern dancing, volley ball, and softball. The seventh grade rhythms program was a feature of the Christmas cantata. In the Spring the classes enjoyed tennis and bowling. HHEKEY Field hockey is played by all classes in the fall. In seventh and eighth grades, the girls learn the fun- damentals of the game, and ninth graders are de- veloping the speed, agility, endurance, and coor- dination necessary for good hockey playing. Highly competitive games are played after school on our fulI-size hockey field. BASKETBAll We always look forward to the basketball season for the seventh graders are anxious to learn how to play the game, and the ninth graders are learning more of the rules and officiating tech- niques. lnter-class tournaments are held at the end of the season among the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade classes.
