Four years ago the Warde Eagles were the step- ping stones of the district football teams, but this year they were a team to be reckoned with. The team was greatly dependent upon the sturdy line which included Walt Beck, all-state tackle, Ed Magi, Ed Zelle, Walt Ruby, Fred Gates, Jim Roberto, Jack Schneider, Don Kessler, Dave Schempp, and Jeff Lebowitz. While the defense held nine opponents to a total of 24- points and shut out six of them, the offense opened up wide gaps in the opponents' lines for the hard-running backfield. This potent back- field consisted of Jack Flanagan, fullback, Al Ben- nett, wingbackg Howie Ratner and Joe Vige, quar- terbacks, and Larry Gill, tailback. The records speak for themselves: Warde white- washed Bassick's Green and White to start the season with a high kick, 22-0. For the first time in our history we beat Darien's Blue Wave, 16-0. The Terebesi, A. Cepero. THIRD ROW: Z. Tackas, J. Hyde, J. Reed, B. Koleszar, J. Stefan, J. Vige, J. Moe, E. Tuska, D. Schempp, E. Shook, D. Hamin, J. Magdon, J. Reed, A. Motto, B. Lake, D. Larson, Coaches F. Tetreau and R. Dobelstein. Warde eleven continued the goose-egg string beat- ing Norwalk 12-0 in a hard fought contest and romping over Bullard Haven Tech's Tigers 32-0. Over-confidence, however, caused a slight let-down and the Staples team became the first to score against us, as they bowed 14--6. The Eagles recuper- ated quickly by overpowering New Canaan 16-0 and cross-town rival Ludlowe 26-O. The Crimson and White completed their first undefeated season by trouncing Stratford 22-12 and whipping Central in a thriller 15-6 after Jack Schneider kicked a de- cisive field goal, rarely seen in high school ball. Thanks to the determination of the boys, the pa- tience of the coaches, Fern Tetreau and Russ Do- belstein, and the support of the student body, Warde was able to win a C.I.A.C. Football award of merit to climax a great season.

SHIP On the Exit for Sportsmanship we see before us a maze of roads winding around seasonal sports activities. Decorated by the colorful signs of au- tumn, streets during these months of brisk activity weave an asphalt track for the cross-country har- riers among the football, hockey, and soccer fields. On winter days the gymnasium echoes with the bounces and cheers of a basketball game. As the roadsides become green with spring, the rush of athletes toward the track, baseball field, tennis courts, and golf course reveals the revitalized spirit of outdoor activities. Whether we participate at the varsity, jumior varsity, or intramural level, we need not pay a toll, -and yet we receive the valuable benefits of gaining athletic ability, good sportsman- ship, and fun.
