CROSS COUNTRY This year the school turned out one of the greatest cross country teams in its history. Paced by that fleet senior, Ray Chickanis, who cracked the course records at Bruce Park, Norwalk, and Fairfield, the team had a fine year. Besides achieving a perfect slate for the season, they placed first in the County Meet and third in the State Meet. Usually finishing close behind Chickanis, who copped first in all regular season meets, were seniors E. Fox, B. Mead, J. McGrath, G. Brother- ton, and F. Marr. The squad made a good showing at the State Championship Meet, placing third, with Chickanis finishing fifth, and Fox coming in eleventh. The many hours of practice on the two and one half- mile course at Bruce Park under Coach Gustafson certainly paid big dividends.

SOCCE With the beginning of a new school year, the soccer team, represented by a fresh group of 'green' boys, took to the field under the combined efforts of Mr. Wood- vine and Coach Gustafson in the hope of a fruitful season. The few returning veterans, however, were hardly enough to spearhead their inexperienced team- mates to a successful season in this tough sport. The Redmen were sparked by the undying efforts of C. Ross CCaptainD, B. Morley, B. Koke, P. McDevitt, G. Brown, G. Davis, H. Haalack, j. McEvoy, N. Ferris, R TEAM B. Lockwood, J. Merritt, D. Koerner, T. Cosgrove, C. Cross, R. Wong, and L. Boyle CManagerD. In spite of the results, the scores of the games are ample proof that the margin of defeat was not decisive. The success of the soccer team can be counted on in the future if the response of its present aspirants is used as evidence. Their eagerness and competitive spirit will open a path for victorious teams in years to come.

They were defeated only by the Yale Freshmen, one of the best college teams in the country. With Ray Chickanis holding down the div- ing and Koehlert taking all the firsts in the 50 and 100 yard free-style, the G.H.S. team proved too much for their opponents. The team was also strengthened by many promising under classmen. Although they were not chosen as state champions, they captured more points than any school in the state meet at Yale, and also won fourth place in the New England Cham- pion ships, the only school in Connecticut to place. Excellently coached by Mr. Covino, all the boys turned in fine records throughout a difficult season. 20
