The council, ably led by Presi- dent Marty Craig, Vice President Fred Andrews, and Secretary Tom Nelson, sponsored an extensive cam- paign, and, through this, the thousand four hundred and twenty students realized their growing partner- ship in one school. In addition to this marvelous record, the Student Council worked out a plan to hire buses to transport many Cardinal fans to the away football games. At the end of this spectacular football season, the Council voted in precedent breaking action to award the G's to the members of the football team at the time of the Waskowitz trophy presentation instead of in the history of Greenwich High School that this had been done. The Council enlivened the school year with two General Organization assemblies. The first one was an Indian demonstration which featured the customs and costumes of maior tribes from various North American areas, the second, a Swing Assembly, starring many of our senior boys and alumni. A serious and intricate problem which the Student Council worked on was a proposed student court. lt made progress toward plans for a Student Council as a judiciary group, hearing and iudging cases of viola- tions of student regulations.

FOOTBALL It was a green team that was out drilling on the field during the first few weeks of September, for last June's graduation had taken eight players from the starting lineup. The coaches, Mr. Covino and Mr. Dat- tola, put that inexperienced group through the paces for almost three weeks, moulding them into a compact fighting unit. When the first test came on September 2'l with Saunders Tech, there were tense moments when the team looked weak, but that game proved that the coaches and team had done their job well, for the Big Red came through with a 20-0 victory. Greenwich seemed to have a good team, but not exceptional. However, in the weeks that followed, there came a string of victories-Danbury, Ossining, Norwalk, and Bassick going down in that order under the crushing strength of the Big Red. Way' . l b X - '... I L W Our traditional rival, Port Chester, invaded Have- meyer Field, October 26. The Greenwich team fought its way to the top of a 2'l-O score. Fairfield Prep and Bridgeport Central were soon added to the list of victories, and our squad rested and conditioned itself for the most important, most decisive, toughest game of the year-the Stamford game. When November 23 dawned cold, clear, and grim, eleven thousand spectators packed Boyle Stadium to see the Red and the Orange tangle. Greenwich got off to a flying start. Giordano went around left end, and sprinted forty-seven yards to the end zone, but the play was called back on a penalty. Early in the second quarter, Stamford climaxed an eighty-yard drive, by scoring and converting, to lead 7-O. At that time the Stamford football machine looked invincible, Greenwich fans, glum.
