GOLF l Golf always has its little group of devotees, and this year they received a special thrill. A special golf hike was organ- ized, which gave our players a whole afternoon on a nine hole ff J course at Schroon. Although our Rondackians scored no birdies ' ff ',,'r J and broke no par they had a grand time. f For the tournament competitions there was a loyal gallery y composed of Connie Reichbach and Lorinne Alpert. We there- 'gffi fi fore give you their own eye-witness report: ' Jn A The golf season was closed by the well played match M between Lil Bader and Frankie Block. The weather man was nL,,:g kind and a perfect day was provided for the match. From the rf moment the first ball was driven to the moment the last ball was sunk, the 'gallery' was kept in a dither. Lil played in consistently good form and Frankie was not far behind in the quality of her game. Lil ended the contest in a blaze of glory, but Frankie, too, had her share of victory, for she was later triumphant in the putting contest. ln the Sub-Senior group, Julie Doelid and Ruth Litt competed. Although Julie's victory was indeed decisive she was hard pressed by Ruth throughout the tournament. l-lermine Messinger also distinguished herself in the Sub-Senior group by annexing the putting pin. Whatever the results of the competition may have been, however, most of our girls left the golf course this summer with a definite feeling of accomplish- ment. TRACK The Saturday Lawn Parties which our councillors referred to were the regular track meets-our Weekly Olympiads. The events were varied enough to reveal all hidden talents, and included thirty-second goals, at which l-Iarriette Slote excelled: running bases, in which Beverly Schnitzer and Clarice Zinaman set some records: baseball throws, where Jeanne Tannenbaum still reigned supreme: and basketball throws, in which Edna Kadin and Beverly were especially good. We quote from the notes made by our track reporter, Frankie Richman: 4'There goes Muriel Wolfsie. Boy, can that girl run! What? Imagine! she's mad because she ran in 12 seconds instead of ll M! fl run in 14 and l think l'm good!j Run, Carol, run-she's at first!-she's at second!-and she's right down on the ground! Did it hurt, Carol? All ready, Tommy, throw the ball! There, right under the bunk! Who wants to crawl for it and start a new track event? All ready now for the Varsity Meet. Don't sit on the grass. Baseball throw. Basketball throw. Relay and Dash for each group. Well, let's take a look at the results: Senior Dash .............. ..........,.... J ean Field Sub-Senior Dash ........ .........

BASEBALL Take Me Out to the Ball Game was the cry of the hour among our batters and bunters this summer. Coached by Pete, they developed some real talent in swinging a bat and catching a ball from all angles of the field. The Varsity com- petitions were especially exciting. The game was made more difficult by a tight- ening of the rules. Stealing was prohibited and only underhand pitching was allowed. With Jeanne Tannenbaum pitching for the Dacks, and Evelyn Sitomer of the Rons at bat, the Senior Varsity game began. Julia Doelid and Beverly Schnitzer placed some beautiful hits and the Dack passwork from Estelle at right short to Bobbie Selverne at first base was a thing of beauty. Both Lillian Bader and Fuzzy Robbins socked out three-baggers and Eleanor Linder very help- fully brought the latter in with a run. One of the highlights of Varsity Week occurred during the Inter game. At the middle of the fifth inning, the score stood 13-3, a sure Ron victory. The Dacks resorted to pinch-hitting, with a success which amazed even themselves. With what seemed almost sleight-of-hand, they brought the score up to 13-l l. Lois, Beatty and Edith were the wonder workers, who brought elements of real victory into defeat. TENNB Q 1 . 1 I U-ifk Tennis became the most significant sport at Rondack during QQLTLJNSJ Varsity Week, for with the results of the senior doubles rested the ' Team victory for 1936. Here is Clarice Zinaman reporting, cover- ing the matches for RONDACTS: 'A 'Lookl' 'What a beautiful serve!' Pretty returnl' and similar remarks came constantly from the sidelines, as they sat absorbed in the final tennis matches. There's Connie Reichbach and Jeanne Tannenbaum putting over a smooth volley. Nice going, Connie, you win that set, Watch that Judith Weiss. Look at that serve! Rosalind Fisher, her opponent in the second Sub-Seniors match, answered it. Now let's cast an eye on those Sub-Senior doubles. There are Claire Kulok and Ruth Litt for the Rons playing Audrey Weiser and Connie Gottlieb for the Dacks. They are playing a pretty fast game, as are those second Sub-Senior doubles in the other court. Coming back to the Senior singles match we find we are just in time to hear the score announced. lt's 6-l, 6-3 for Connie. Better luck next time, Jeanne! Nice playing, both of you. Judy Weiss took the singles and each team has now three matches. The Senior doubles will decide the season. The Rons take the first set, the Dacks the second and the score is now 6-5 for the Rons. Oh gracious! For the thousand and Hrst time the score is deuce. The Dacks take the match and the season's victory! The final contest of the season was the game for the silver cup between Connie Reichbach and Estelle Wieder. ln a splendid game from start to nnish, Estelle won the cup. lt's certainly been a grand tennis season!
