INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL The girls of Norwalk High School really responded to the call for intramural basketball teams. The various teams were selected from each gym class. This method proved more successful than the one of making up teams from the home room. Altogether about 150 girls participated in these games. After the teams chose their captains they were placed in leagues, and played either during home desk period or after school. Ini the Wednesday league there are the Rookies, Loopsling- ers, Dodgers, Speedsters, Dukes, Bombers, Straight Shooters. These teams are composed mostly of juniors and seniors. The Panthers, Spit Fires, Destroying Angels, Anchors, Lone Stars and Bloomer Girls are the sophomore teams. To get an idea of how the different teams are making out, here are some scores of some of the leading teams: Dodgers 20 vs. Speedsters 4f Bombers 18 vs. Dukes 4 Loopslingers 10 vs. Rookies 0 .fil . ,Y U - 's'! 1 r 4.

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 ...,.....

Under the fine guidance of Coaches John Ryan and Leo Skidd. the Norwalk High team was able to triumph over the Scarborough Prep team. Kings School and Hackley High of Tarrytown, N. Y., while dropping close encounters to New Haven Hillhouse. Greenwich and Darien. The fine offensive play of Captain lirnic Nevidjohn and Lou Esposito. the leading scorers, and the spectacular goal tending of Jack Slattery was especially outstanding for the local sextet. Eight of the members of this year's team will be graduated in June. among these lads being: Jack Slattery. lirnie Nevidjohn. Bill Holmes. Bob lVinstanley. John Yvermc, Frank Delioer. Dave Gibb. and Donald Bonis. Other players who will remain in school are: I.ou lisposito. Sheldon Rubin, Otto Hain. Ed Hartmayer. Jim My-Guiness, Harold ll'ithncll. Dick Sr-ire, Doug Morrison. and Marshall Saunders. We, of the graduating class, take this opportunity to thank Coaches Ryan and Skidd for their time. patience and continual effort. lve believe that they have done a fine job in putting such a good team on the ice and we hope that they will put out many more winning combines.
