WARDE DANBURY ....... Now play fairly boys, but . . . 98 The crimson and white hoopsters this year dis played the best basketball team in their history. Although in the first game Norwalk eked out a victory against Warde, Coach Seirup's Eagles, nevertheless, showed a vast improvement over previous teams, for Norwalk nipped their victory only in the last three minutes of play. After losing a hard-fought game to Darien, the team again dis- played their ability by trouncing Norwalk in a return game. The team then began to ride the crest of a winning streak by hanging an overtime defeat upon Staples. Warde, however, did not maintain that winning streak, but proceeded to lose the next four games. After a heartbreaking two-point loss to New Canaan, the Eagles for the first time bowed to Roger Ludlowe. The losses continued as two highly rated teams, Greenwich and Stamford, swept to victory. However, after a victory famine of three games, the boys turned about with an im- pressive win over Ludlowe. As the basketball season reached its finale, the Eagles again sea-sawed as they succumbed to Greenwich and Stamford, then triumphed over Wright Tech and Danbury. ln that Danbury game, Douglas Holmquist established a new Warde individual scoring record by firing in thirty-three points. Throughout the season, center Lawrence Taylor and forward Douglas Holmquist, playing outstand- ing basketball, were aided by Peter Horvath, Howard Ratner, Thomas Dardani, and Paul Moe- ckli. The basketball players of Andrew Warde, both individually and as a team, continually demonstrated the progress they had made toward the triumph of the Eagles. The opposition stares as Tom Dar- dani goes into action.

aqua-bats This year, another varsity sport, swimming, was added to Andrew Warde's winter sports' schedule. Although since 1956 many students and teachers wanted this school to sponsor a swimming team, only in 1958 were their hopes fulfilled. Due to the avid response of the Andrew Warde boys, this team, coached by Mr. Stuart Cox, became official and therefore competed against long established teams. Sparked by seniors Gary Demarest, Steven Whitaker, and Anatol Mihailoff, the aqua-bats achieved a successfull season of five victories and five loses. Moreover, the team gained distinction at the State Meet when Gary Demarest placed fourth in the breast stroke competition. 3 i W -' ' --,. ,ga g s f- 1' 2. 3 A - ii ' 'Q Steve Whitaker performs one of the mag- . - ,,. . f e ! r i 'CIW tf, mficent dives which led to our team's f , 3 ,f.- ,s r I I w W 'V ,. l ., . f VlCf0f Y- A -, ....

This year, however, the Junior Varsity Eagles provided several sparkling performances and proved that they were not iust a preliminary group, but an exciting, hard-fighting team. As soon as spectators realized how well the Junior Varsity were playing, they filled the blea- chers earlier in order to observe that preparatory team. Showing a final tally of seven wins and twelve losses, these representatives of the crimson and white constantly battled valiantly. They ended the season well by chalking-up against Danbury a season-high total of ninety-four points. JUNIOR VARSITY First row: D. Lindwall, P. Galino, J. Zacchia, S. Terebesi, H. Bahe.
