D ARIEN Co-captains Jack Flanagan and Ray Vlader led WARDE '-- '- ''--4- - DANBURY Warde's varsity nine, which was bolstered by the re- turn of eight veterans ofthe State Tournament squad of two years ago. Junior Jerry Zacchia brought a .350 batting average into the '60 season. Seniors Ted Skola, pitcher, Glen Englander, outfielder, and Howie Ratner, sterling factotum, engaged in early season wind-sprints and calisthenics to prepare for the alumni game, the season's debut on April 9, at Owen Fish Park. Coach Jackson expressed optimism that Warde's ball-and-glove Eagles would better their 9-9 record in their eighteen Donnybrooks played home-and- home. Larry Gill, Joe Vige, Hank Babe, and Curt Helgren graduated from the jayvee ranks to strengthen the varsity and make the Coach's proph- ecy more probable. IT'S SPRING AND PAUL SALAVAAG'S FANCY LIGHTLY TURNS TO THOUGHTS OF BASE- BALL.

Ken Lieberthal, who over- and backhanded his way to captain's stature this year, led the inexperi- enced netmen under the white-sneakered tutelage of Coach Peter Harrity. BILL WINBURN STEADIES HIS IRON FOR A SURE BIRDIE. Every year in early spring Warde's golf team aban- dons the backyard's draped canvas driving range and puts aside Middlecoif's Doctoring Your Golf in favor of the real thing. This season Brooklawn Country Club, Warde's home links, trimmed its greens and roughened its roughs for the best of downstate opposition, as Coach Stone marshalled his forces to insure another winning season. Bill Winburn and Charlie Bitzer, returning let- termen, readied woods and putter to lead a squad gener- ously sprinkled with promising underclassmen.

X ! ROSENTHAL N X 1, 2, 3, BULLY ADENSTEDT VASAS 1 MILLER COVENTRY CO-CAPTAIN MALMBERG SIROTNAK ERIKSSON The girls' field hockey team, coached by Miss Mary Carley and Miss Helen Carroll and captained by Gerry Burke and Sandra Coventry, completed a terrific season with a 4-3-1 record. Warde's first string with Sandy Denter and Rose- mary Vasas on the wings and Sandy Eriksson at center accounted for most of the goals and assists, with Sandy Eriksson the top scorer. Ann Reuther and Linda Miller, stellar halfbacks, also scored well, and it was Linda's breakaway in the last minutes ofthe Newtown game that gave the Eagles a 2-0 win. Goalie Judy Borck performed extraordinarily well in all games and her saves were a major factor in the team's success. The Eagles opened against top-ranked Stamford and went down to defeat in a close game. Sandy Denter scored Warde's final but futile goal with just twelve seconds to go, and it was a battle all the way. Equally close but more favorable was REUTHER D. BURKE G. BURKE BORCK co-CAPTAIN DENTER STENBERG the Danbury game. The Eagles were tied 0-0, with five minutes remaining when Rosemary Vasas scored on an assist from Wynne Pfeif, and then, with one minute of playing time left, Captain Sandy Coventry stole the ball at mid-field and tore down the field unassisted to hoist Warde to another vic- tory. In the Notre Dame game the Eagles proved the Lancers right after they had loudly proclaimed, 5'Warde is the team to beat, and Warde won 2-0, as Sandy Coventry scored twice and set the pace on defense with some rugged body checking. The junior varsity team had a very promising season which will prove very helpful to next year's varsity team. This success was due to the hard work of the coaches, players, and manager Judy For- strom. The team's mascot, a raccoon cap, gave spirit and brought good luck for a rewarding season.
