GIRLS' BASKETBALL While Warde's female buckateers did not enjoy a spectacular season, they had a satisfactory 2-9 record and succeeded in maintaining the fine reputation of good sportmanship established by last year's team. All of the games were extremely close. The girls dropped the first Ludlowe game by only one point in overtime and lost three other games by only a three or four point margin. The two highlights of the season were the Ridgefield and Stamford trouncings, which our Warde lassies took 42-30 and 36-18, respect- ively. Captain Angie Renzulli led this year's Varsity squad consisting of forwards Gerry Burke, Shirley Buturla, Sandy Erickson, Bonnie Haines, Bonnie Mac- Gregor, Marcia Tierney and Carol Wallitzer, and guards Nancy Clarke, Louise Elwood, Lois Martenson, Pat Navarette and Judy Petrino, Gerry Burke, the team's high scorer, chalked up 124 points in nine games, scoring 25 and 22 points respectively in the two Staples games. The junior Varsity girls deserve a hand for completing a very successful season with eight wins and one loss. The one blemish on their nearly-perfect record was the first Westport game, which went into a thrilling double over- time climaxed in Warde's 21-20 defeat. High-scoring captain Denny Burke, who bucketed 109 points in nine games, sparked her team-mates Betty Angus, Sue Bonney, Bev Carlson, janet Heske, Debbie Kinsman, Judy Launer, Yvonne Martin, Penny Petrino, Nancy Powell, joan Scofield, Cindy Smith, jane Stenberg and jane Yurdin to victory throughout the entire season. Debbie Kinsman had a party for both squads following their last game with Darien. The girls presented autographed basketballs to Captains Angie Renzulli and Denny Burke. Miss Carley and Miss Caroll received inscribed key-chains as tokens of the girls' appreciation of their hard work.

A revision in the athletic point system lowering the number of points received by members of Var- sity and junior Varsity squads was also enacted. The G.A.A. sponsored a basketball playday and clinic with most of the area schools partic- ipating. Girls who were not mem- bers of the Varsity and j.V. teams comprised our team.
