VOLLEY BALL OLLEY BALL can well be called one of our most popular team sports. Development of playing tech- nique gives the game more spirit because it becomes far more interesting and exciting. Ably directed, as always, by Miss Norwat, the ac- complishments of the four class Volley Ball teams were heartwarming, for Lynbrook lost only two games in the Baldwin, East Rockaway, and Ocean- side series. With our traditional rival, East Rockaway, the Green and Gold won four straight victories. Upon finishing the inter-class games, the Seniors and Juniors tied for the honors. From these games an honor team was chosen composed of the follow- ing: Marilyn Poth, Joan Rosenhaus, Evelyn Spinnler, Jean Fowler, Betty Lynch, Arlene Kraatz, Betty Vincent, Jenny Spina, Carol Cooper, Ann Sarro, Eileen Risedorf, Elise Thompson. An outstanding player with her own distinctive style was Evelyn Spinnler, who had a technique of hitting the ball with a closed fist, which proved as effective as it was baffling. Betty Lynch stood out as an all-around star for her dependability and sureness in spiking the ball with apparent ease. Madeline Mastroianni should be mentioned as one of the most promising freshmen of the year. In December, the Long Island Girls' Association held a play day for honor teams at Mepham. In this play day Lynbrook tied for first place with Mepham. Five girls passed the Written volley ball oHicial's test and their practical test. They were: Doris Wid- maier, Yvonne Behne, Jeanne Johnson, Dianna Ros- enhaus and Joan Rosenhaus. The first four refereed at the Long Island Girls' Association play day at Mepham.

RIDING CLUB IVIDIZD into three groups-beginners, inter- mediates, and advanced-and boasting a member- ship of close to fifty, the horsey set of L. H. S., under the able direction of Mrs. Charlotte Kinne, assisted by Miss Margaret Wilsliburn, rode every Tuesday at Hempstead Lake State Park. Aside from actual riding, the equestrians received training in drilling and formations, and in the saddling and care of horses. The club, under Eileen McCord, president, planned fall and spring picnics and entered con- testants in the annual horse show. FENCING ENCING, a comparatively new sport in L. H. S., had to be temporarily discontinued because of the loss of the instructor, Mr. Harley B. Cooper, who has a very active part in the civil defense. Notwithstanding its short existence, however, this sport has drawn considerable interest from all four classes. Lynbrook was represented by Donald Dalton in one match with the Cour-de-Lion Fencers of Flush- ing. BOYS'14RCHERY ECAUSF of the unusual number of boys inter- ested in archery this year, a separate boys' archery team was formed. Although the team did not ac- complish much, they practiced every Monday and Wfednesday throughout the year, making way to capture the honors in the years to come. The team is lucky to have as its coach, Miss Dorothy Budd, who has won many honors in this Ypllft. HCUNOR TEAM I'il'1lllf'Kl'.l.lX7, Risedorf, Spinnler, Spina, Rosenhaus, Thompf son. Sarro.
