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.

Junior varsity basketball is generally considered merely a warm-up before the more interesting and exciting varsity games. During the 1959 season, however, Wardeis junior varsity hoopsters proved in several thrilling and hard-fought games that their performances deserved as much attention as the varsity Eagles'. Once the fame of the junior varsity team had spread throughout the school, spectators filled the bleachers before 8:00 in order JUNIOR VARSITY SCORES Darien ,,.. ,,., Norwalk ...... Westport ....

Throughout the season sophomores Lee Demarest and John Stefan, playing outstanding basketball, were aided by freshmen Wayne Gower and Don Golden. These junior varsity players, both as in- dividuals and as a team, continually demonstrated the progress they had made toward becoming future stars of Wardeis varsity team.
