HOOPSTERS With a nucleus of seven veterans from the 1958 season and a wealth of material from the 1963 squad, hopes for a championship varsity basketball team seemed exceedingly promising this year. Warde's season opened against Stamford. The predatory Eagles, with players Bev Carlson, Elaine Lindwall, and Wynne Pfeif, swooped down on the opposing team and soared away with the first vic- tory. The second game, with Ludlowe, gave Warde another victory, as Denny and Gerry Burke put on a dazzling exhibition with their perfectly aimed balls. In the next two games, Sandy Eriksson and 4-'I0 Nancy Lake hit double figures to extend the winning streak to four. In the games with Danbury and Notre Dame, teamwork turned defeat into vic- tory. The amazfonling height and super-coordina- tion of the Darien Blue Wave swamped the Eagles by a margin of fifteen points, but the girls leaped back to success in the close of a thrilling season. Coaches Mary Carley and Helen Carroll agreed that it would be well-nigh impossible to single out one star on a team propelled by group aspiration, cooperation, drive, and determination.

With eight of the fifteen members being freshmen, this year's squad bucketed up 284 points, with an aver- age of 26 points per game. Perky and peppy .Iudy Borke was the high scorer with a total of 73 points, and an average of 7 points per game. The most exciting games were the second Ludlowe game, in which Nancy Zwecker made a basket in the final minutes to hoist Warde to victory by a mere one point, and the first Notre Dame game, in which Warde lost by one point, despite the zealous efforts of all. In each of the games, however, the girls exhibited the great ability which will make the future teams difficult to overcome. FIRST ROW: M. Swanson, M. Dvorsky, S. Kwasnik, Co-Captains: P.
