SENIOR GIRLS' HOCKEY Through The years hockey players have been made in Ambler High School, and The Team oT The I94l season was The resulT oT much Training and experience. AlThough The records show Three games won and Tour losT, The passing and oTher game Techniques were never beTTer Than during This season. When The season began, The Team was composed aT pracTically all new players. This was especially unTorTunaTe as The laTe opening oT school cuT The preliminary pracTice period To pracTically noThing. The TirsT game wiTh NorrisTown was played aTTer iusT one week aT pracTice, and Ambler los+ by a score OT 6-2. ATTer ThaT cleTeaT, however, The Team play im- proved sTeadily. The ChelTenham game was The high poinT oT The season. ATTer The close oT The season, The squad Traveled To Beaver College To parTicipaTe in a Play Day wiTh hockey squads Trom JenkinTown, SpringTield, AbingTon, Upper Darby and ChelTenham. The Play Day was much enioyed by every member aT The Ambler squad. ln The Tinals The Ambler girls showed Their ouTsTanding Team play. AlThough This record is noT as good as iT mighT have been, much crediT is due To Miss Boyles, as she labored hard and long To produce a successTul Team. The girls are all graTeTul Tor The knowledge and experience obTained from Their eTTicienT coach. In spiTe OT The TacT ThaT Ten members of The VarsiTy squad will be graduaTed, Miss Boyles can expecT a Team aT ouTsTanding qualiTy when The TirsT call Tor hockey comes nexT Fall. 36
