BASKETBALL e 1956-57 season saw the Spartans win their first cage victory in the school's short history-a 48-43 decision over Eli Wh't .Th ' ' ' ' 1 ney e steady fans were repaid with many thrilling games, particularly the twin successes against Cheshire and a rev enge victory over Shelton. In spite of inexperienced and opposing t h . . . eams t e Amity five managed to rack up a very creditable 7-10 won-lost record, a decided im rovem t Th p en over last year's O-8 record. As far as we can see it was a good season with tangible results to show for sincere efforts of all concerned. Mr. Halpin put every talent at his disposal into the building of his team ' h wlt out whose guidance it is certain that things would have been much worse in the scoring columns. Although many of the squad will be graduating with the team losing such fine basketeers as Captain Ski Clla k D p r , ave Dedman, Steve Boyle, Al Schlitter and Mike Sirowich, the out- l ' ' ' ook for next season isnt at all dim Ken Meyer and Joe Sills th . e I season's top scorers will return as well as Bud Peterson, Tom Mag- en J h ' ' au, o n Brown and Paul Lockwood. In addition there will be much good talent coming up from Jack William's Jay Vee 5, which k d - mar e a successful IO 7 season.

All opposition in class B was decisively broken by the Amity Mermen. As there is no official class B swimming championship Amity has won this honor by virtue of having beaten every class B school in the State. In overall competition Amity has the distinction of finishing 3rd in total scoring for all classes. Ten records in all have fallen before the powerful Amity swimmers. These record-breaking events were led by Captain Jim Giebler's time of 20.7 in the 40 yard freetyle in the first meet. After the ice was broken, record times were es- tablished again and again, there were four new record times. Although swimming is not a spectator sport and is very little publicized, our team has drawn and interested an large number of enthusiastic and proud followers.
