With a senior in every position the hockey team completed the season with a 4-2 record. Betty Jane Hurd, co-captain and high scorer, made seven out of the twenty goals scored for the season. Dover's “do or die” defense was led by Margaret Roper, co-captain and center halfback. As an opener, Dover defeated Delaware City on home field. Traveling to Sudlersville for the next game, Dover was beaten in a hard-fought game. In a close game with Newark, Dover again went down in defeat. Then the Senators downed Middletown to even the record. In the Chestertown game Dover posted another win and then again over Chestertown on their home field. Although the young and inexperienced junior varsity lost to Newark 2-1 and Middletown 2-0, they were full of fight and zeal.

Composed mainly of first year men, the Senator’s wrestling squad lacked the experience necessary for a successful season. Captain Ron Fretz went undefeated in four matches until an ear infection stopped his action for three weeks. Dale Slaght was the only other Senator to compile a winning record as the team won but 1 of 6 matches. Tough opposition from Newark’s conference champions and the state champions from St. Andrews gave valuable ex- perience to the squad, and a better season is expected next year. Coaches Edwards and Leto expect eleven of this year’s team to return, with Captain Ron Fretz, Co-captain Gene McNinch, and Clem Bason the only seniors lost by graduation.

RECORD Delaware City Newark Sudlersville Middletown Chestertown Chestertown Betty Jane Hurd, left inner, clashed sticks with the left halfback of Chestertown, while Claire Melton (13) left wing, waited for the ball to come her way. In the background two Chestertown players were racing to aid their team-mate. The game resulted in a Dover win. During halftime of the Newark game, the varsity waited for their energy-giving oranges and Mrs. Watson’s comments on the first half. Nancy Whiting (8), Claire Melton (13), Maggie Behen, Margaret Roper, and Mrs. Watson watched the J.V. take the field for the first half. Margaret Anne Behen (blurred) tried desperately to get the ball from Newark’s left halfback, while Nancy Whiting, right wing, and Rosemary Hagey, right halfback, backed her up. The first half was played in pouring rain, which drenched both teams, ending in a loss for Dover
