GIRLS' SOCCER This year, the soccer team, headed by Rusty Sherwin and managed by Gene Kingman, made an energetic showing and effort on the field and came up with an undefeated season. They played a variety of games this year, ranging from Xvil- liamstown High and Burr and Burton to Chatham and finally Yvoodstock. ln all these struggles there are a few names that are outstanding ' - Kingman and Sherwin as half-backs defending the goal and pushing the offensive down the field, Dessau and Blos in the front line dribbling skillfully in and out, and last and most important Peirce, defending the goal. 24

BOYS' SOCCER The lmoys played soccer this year and played it well. Five games were on the schedule and everyone was played by a team and not individuals. This in itself was surprising for most of the players had never taken part in any fall sport except fioothall. The outstanding game of the season was with YVoodstoek Country School. 'lihe score was tied throughout the game and two overtime periods. NVQ- finally had to resort to a period of Sudden Death where the first team to malse a goal won. Charlie Lord put the liall in fior us and thus finished the game. 'l'here were a few players who were outstanding: our Captain, Phil Kallcer, and playing manager, Bill Kitz, Tom Boswell, lim Power and Charlie Lord. The whole team played well and a great deal is due fo fllessrs. Pollitt and Koehenour as our coaches. 25

Playing such teams as Lansing- hurg High School in Troy, several Y.5l.C.A. teams, and a group from the Xvilliams- town Boys' Club, the Buxton Quintette managed to win about hall' of the games played. There was a good combination of boys from the United States and from Costa Rica, Central America. Bill and Koch were the ones who whipped this heterogeneous group into a team that was all pulling lor the same goal. 25
