1 BOYS' SOCCER The Boys' soccer team was unique in that it was composed of players from four countries, the United States, Costa Rica, Holland, and Venezuelag every boy participated and the team completed the season undefeated. The team's success was greatly aided by the leadership of Captain Fernando Rosich and Jose! Paz, who showed us various skills and pointed out our errors. Our playing manager, Charles Lord, arranged seven, games in which we managed to roll up an impressive total of 33 points to our opposition's total of 7 points. Another unusual happening that pleased the older members was a scrimmage against the physically superior Williams College Freshmen. They beat us 4 to 1 but we certainly have the right to say that we gave out as much bodily contact as we took. Bill and Koch were well pleased with our record, not only because it was the first undefeated boys' team but also because it was the first time that every boy, without excep- tion, played. 27

GIRLS' SOCCER The invincible girls, soccer team is still invincible. They have completed their third undefeated season in three years, a record that, not unnaturally, gives us great pride. Though all the girls played excellently, Alison Dessau as Captain and Judith Holle- man as Manager united the girls as a team. It is impossible to give too much credit to Mr. Kochenour and Mr. Pollitt for their coaching of a group of girls who, for the most part, had never played before. 26

GIRLS' BASKETBALL- Because of our small team and limited practices the girls' basketball team did not have a very successful season. Our average ran about the same as did that of the Boys' Team. The team was ably captained by Lil Blos with Phyllis Tompkins as manager. As coaches Mr. Pollitt and Mr. Kochenour succeeded in boosting the spirit of the team, when it got low, along with their excellent instruction in the game. 28
