HOCKEY 66 After having been encouraged by those who were greatly interested in hockey, the student body, along with followers of the District Hockey League, received Mr. Brooks' positive announcement concerning a varsity team with exuberant approval. The team enthusiastically followed the instruction and experienced training of coach James Dun- leavy. In a round robin type of preview to the regular season, the spirit and enthusiasm of the student body was observed by the New Haven fans, while the team succeeded in winning one match, tying another, and losing closely in two other hard fought bat- tles. After a number of contests, the never say die attitude of the team and the en- tire school body was praised by a news- paper which called Amity's arrival on the hockey scene a shot in the arm for the league, and cited Amity's zealous and ear- nest spirit as one to be strived for by other area schools. The team proved worthy of the efforts made by coach and principal alike as they upset Cross and iust barely missed a berth on the New England Tournament bound train.

BASKETBALL ln spite of the fact that the Hrst year of basketball was not a winning season, the team showed a fighting spirit which indicates that in the future, varsity basket- ball will be highly successful. Captained by Roger Koob and Davis Warner, the inexperienced team, consisting mostly of sophomores, made excellent showings at North Haven, Cheshire, and St. Mary's games. The margin of defeat was small, but with added experience, victory over these three rivals is not impossible in the 1956-57 season. An exciting faculty-varsity game was held with the stronger varsity barely edging out the fighting faculty team. 65

BOWLING Although the Bowling Team finished the season in the cellar of the District League they will go down in history as having won the first game in inter- scholastic sports for Amity. Their 3-3 record against Hillhouse kept the Academics from taking the loop crown. Boardman Trade and West Haven were forced to tight hard against the determined Spartans-. Coached by Mr. Charles Dunning and captained by Kenneth Kehrer the team has completed a successful season. SWIMMING Led by Coach John Podorski and co-captains Berle Hufford and William Bilinski, the Spartan swimming team made its initial appearance in league com- petition, and manifested a spirit that should spark the squads of future seasons to victory. Through the efforts of returning backstrokers Edward Rappa, Bradley Marvin, and Richard Atkins, and divers Richard Christenson and Jay Alpert, Amity is hopeful, if not sure, of a winning season next year. 67
