28 THE ARDSLEYAN BASKETBALL Another eventful season has closed without bringing any laurels to the boys. Although we have been none too successful, no one can say that the Blue and Gold gave up without a iight. Our games have been both close and exciting as anyone who witnessed them can tell you. The major- ity of our material was new, the class of '23 having taken three or four anchors. Then, too, our center, from whom we had expected much, inform- ed us that he was leaving his f'Alma Mater. Nevertheless, the new ma- terial proved itself sturdy and well seasoned. Each man gave his best and played the game. The following is a brief survey of the team: R. fCutieJ Barnett, a guard who plays with a tenacity that is extreme- ly annoying to his opponents and extremely encouraging to his team. K. CSquirrelJ Brown, an impenetrable, impregnable guardg the fear of opposing coaches and teams. He was elected Captain of next season's team. S. QSoupJ Kamke, Captain and guard-forward, was the only regular from last year. He never lacked effort in trying to lead his team to victory. He is leaving us this year and we wish him success. Goodbye and good luck, Soup. K. fRedJ McPhee, a hard working and hard fighting forward. In the game just look for the ball and you will ind Red. A. fKid Speedy Roberts, a forward who earned his name on the floor because of the metoric pace he set while playing. During the Christmas holidays, while playing in a practice game, our star received a broken arm which forced him from the game almost the entire season. F. fFootsieJ Vogel, a regular grasshopper center, who outjumped most of his opponents and followed shots with an accuracy that has scored many points for old Ardsley. E. fPopeJ Leone, a forward distinguished for his speed and lightning passes. He's no Pope on the floor. A. fBuffaloJ Underhill a guard conspicuous for his flying tactics. Al- though he animated his man considerably by his energetic and damaging methods, his work was both effective and well done. D Stick with them, Second team. You are Ardsley's future stars. Per- sistent effort will prove your worth, and win for you a place on the team. Bennett and Wilson loom up as promising material for next year's team. Stuart Kamke '24.

30 THE ARDSLEYAN GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM The Ardsley Girls Basketball Team is slowly but surely climbing to the top. This is proven by the fact that they were tied with Dobbs Ferry for second place in the Greenburgh Interscholastic League. They fell back to third place, however, as the result of losing a hard fought game. The girls played several games with teams not in the League, making a total for the season of fifteen games. Of these fifteen, they won ten games. In every contest the girls showed their school spirit to a marked degree, as Well as splendid team work. The members of the team are: Vera Witkov, Captain Anna Brosge, Manager Lillian Munck Hazel Fellers Ruth Brown Mary Cudney Alvina McElroy Florence Brown Elsie Waddell '26. PHYSICAL TRAINING EXHIBITION The Ardsley High School Annual Physical Training Exhibition was held in the Auditorium on Friday evening, April 4, at 8:00 o'clock. Judging from the audience and their hearty applause, it was a great success. The proceeds, EE72., will be used to buy medals for the Honor Students. During the months of preparation for the Exhibition the pupils vied with each other to take part in it. The practice was very beneficial and everyone taking part did his very best. Miss Willoughby, our Physical Di- rector, worked exceptionally hard to make the affair a success. 1 The Exhibition was composed of drills and dances, each grade and High School classes having some part in it.
