SOCCER The Green and lVhite soccer charges of Coach Joseph Andrews went through one of the most Successful seasons of any sport in the school in quite some time. By virtue of their seven wins and two ties, the local warriors laid undisputed claim to the state championship. For the first time in the history of the school, the locals were able to defeat the Peekskill Military Academy of New York. The Andrewsmen achieved this feat twice. The local lads also chalked up two wins each over Fairfield and West Haven and one victory from the New Haven Hillhouse. The only blots on the champs' record were the two ties played with our arch rival, Stamford. These were two hard-fought contests which ended in 1-1 and 2-2 scores. Coach Andrews and the team felt that the season's success was not due to individual play but to the wholehearted way in which each player did his part. Although many of this year's outstanding performers will be graduated, the out- look for next year is bright as Coach Andrews will have many veterans returning to the fold. Among the members of this year's team who will be graduated are: Captain George Bennett, Hal Hyatt, Angelo Anrico, Donald Bonis, Bob Winstanlev, Norman Meyers, Don Radley, John Werme, Bob Kircher, .lack Slattery, Howard Sloman, Manager Charles O'Brien and Assistant Sig VVahrsager.

BASKETBALL The Norwalk High basketball team went through one of the most disastrous seasons of any high school team when they failed to win a single contest out of twelve games. VVeakened by ineligibilities and injuries, the Green and lvhite quintet was unable to click at the proper time and thereby failed to chalk up a win. How- ever, one bright outlook looms ahead for Coach Ike Kern as only seven of the twenty members of the squad were seniors and he will therefore have many piom- ising prospects for the next campaign. Although defeated in every contest, the Green and lVhite quintet gave the fans and school a team to be proud of. In every contest they were in there fighting and showed the sportsmanship which Norwalk High is noted for and should he proud of. Among the players who closed their haskcthall careers at Norwalk High are: Captain Joe Lawrence, Don lvagner. Hal Hyatt, Fred Rooney. Harry llutka. Charles O'Brien and Norman Meyers, and also both eo-managers, lVilliau1 Marriott and lid Alberta.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM The girls' basketball team closed its season in a blaze of glory on March 4. by defeating the Fairiield High girls in a hard. well-fought battle. Their season was a very successful one. and the team deserves a lot of credit. having won four of the six games scheduled. The first game of the season, with Cherry Lawn. set a pace for the team which they maintained in all but two of their games. In their second game they suffered a setback from the Low-Heywood girls. In the following game with Staples. however. they recovered their pace almost fully. They remained the same when they divided a double header with Ifairtield. In this game the Seniors had an early lead and kept it until the closing minutes when they were nosed out by a very slim margin in spite of all their etforts. The next game. with Danbury. resulted in the Seniors playing a deadlock game and the .layvees being victorious. In contrast to their previous game with the Fairfield girls, the return game told a different storyg this was one of the best games that the Seniors played and they succeeded in defeating their opponents, while the .layvees played to a deadlock. Gloria Corey and Dot Bartley led the scoring with 35 and -L1 points respectively. The scores are as follows: SENIOR TEAM Norwalk ,,.,,, Norwalk ...,.....
