AQUA-HATS Coach Stuart Cox saw a successful season this year as Warde's natators triumphed in eight meets while bowing in only six. Led by two dependable freestylers, co-captains Fred Sweeney and Jim Reed, the team raced off with victories in its first six meets. The victims, many highly-rated teams, included Bassick, Hamden, Central, Milford, Stam- ford, and Bullard Havens. Will Bernardin's back- stroke, Bill Gunter's diving, Pete Chamberlain's butterfly stroke as well as Dave Hammanis, and the terrific efforts by Gary Greenhalgh, Larry Eskwith, and Elmer Ondy proved invaluable to the team as they won meets against Ludlowe and Notre Dame. A tough schedule, however, proved costly to Warde's swimmers and they fell victims to such power- packed teams as Greenwich, Stratford, and West- port. Nevertheless, thanks to the fine record of the team, they were able to enter the CIAC Meet at the Yale pool on February 27.

DRIBBLERS This year, due to excellent team coordination and to the brilliant scoring of Tom Dardani, 'Warde closed the season with a 9 win, 9 loss record. The injury, however, of star players Bob Derby and Dan Harris plagued the Eagles and the loss of one too many games prevented the team from entering the tournament. There were some sensational games, and the Eagles were continually scrapping for victory. The explosive crowds of Wardites were often given something to cheer about by Pete Horvath, whose fancy dribbling enabled Warde to squeeze out a 4-6-43 win over Staples. Howie Ratner's sparkling 22 point performance led Warde to a stunning up- set of Stamford's Black Knights. Joe Magdon con- stantly cleared the boards as Warde edged Dan- bury. Though Mike Siavrakas harassed New Can- aan, Warde was forced to bow after a thrilling contest. Tom Dardani sparked the sweet revenge victory over Ludlowe. ,lack Schneider's defensive prowess helped to bridle opponents while Ronnie Bell consistently kept Warde in contention through games decided by a small margin. Sam Rost, Glen Englander, Paul Sellevaag, and Dennis Lindwall, the unheralded but battling few, also exemplified the spirit of Andrew Warde. In addition to the players, Coach Bob Seirup is a top contender for a medal of honor, and awards for service beyond the call of duty should go to managers Curt Hel- gren, Steve Markofa, and Paul Hiller.
