'44 etto right Pereire McClellan T White Carey CCaptJ Ledbetter Mahnken Kohler Mr Dodd CCoachJ VARSITY SKI TEAM The Gunnery ski team was able to hold only two ski meets during the winter term because of unsea sonably dry and warm weather which made skiing conditions difficult Enthusiasm 1n the squ id ran high however and whenever snow conditions permitted the team made the most of them Practice at the Sno' Pocket Tow was often supplemented by runs on Beebe Hill or other hills in the vicinity of the school. The first meet was held at Millbrook School in New York State on February 5 in competition with teams from Millbrook, Berkshire, Kent, Lenox, Darrow and Salisbury. Although snow conditions were not too good, The Gunnery team made a favorable showing with Captain Carey placing seventh among the 58 competitors. T. White, Kohler and Pereire also did well. Following this meet there was a period of warm weather during which the remaining snow disap- peared. Then, shortly before term examinations, a twelve inch fall of good snow made a meet possible between Taft and Gunnery at the Sno Pocket Tow On the open slalom course Gunnery placed first and third 1 Carey and Pereire respectivelyj but lost the meet by 1 small margin as Taft won second fourth and fifth places Despite the disappointing season, the team worked hard and should have an experienced group on the slopes next year. The new members of the team were mostly freshmen who showed great promise for the future. The team was centered around Captain Dick Carey as the guiding and leading light. jimmy Pereire, a student of Swiss skiing, was also one of the main cogs in the squad. The other members: Kohler, Tad and Dick White, Mahnken, McClellan and Ledbetter, all contributed greatly to the formation of their weather- cursed team which performed so admirably at both meets.
