Hockey '48 The Edgewood girls' started their hockey season with a bang Qto be more exact, a whistlej. On Tuesday afternoon, November 6, we hopefully lined up against our blue-clad opponents, the Daycroft girls. The whistle blew and we started. The encouraging shouts from the sidelines mingled with the hisses and boos, everyone was excited, and not the least of these was Nance, our coach, striding nervously up and down the sidelines in her 'good-luck' turtle-neck sweater. It was a bad quarter, for Daycroft made the only goal. During the half, while munching oranges, we listened to the usual pep-talks hoping that they would produce the desired results. Some kind onlooker encouraged us with the news that we were standing up to the opposing team very well with the exception of lb, who couldnt seem to keep in an upright position. In the second half we put up a better fight, and joan showed her determination not to let a single ball get in the mesh cage, and none did. But We were Hghting a losing battle because we didn't get one in either, so Daycroft won, 6-0. Although the game with Daycroft was the only competitive game we played, we practiced every afternoon, and at the end of the season it looked as if there was a good team lined up for next year.

The Cheerleading Team The Edgewood gridders' inspiration was the name bestowed on us by the Greenwich Time CWe don't know if the football team agreed with themb. Janie Hamilton was a lot of fun to work with, and the only one who remained neutral during our various arguments. joan Connally was the little cheerleader who Jelieved in using physcology in dealing with her teammates. Lynn Staley could usually be heard saying, Kids, I've just gotten an inspiration for a terrific new cheer . . She generally proved her statement correct. Bobby Herbert was the paciher of the team, settling an argument or trying to talk some sense into one of LIS. Sandy Eldridge was the lively cheerleader with so much energy. So we come to :he two co-captains, Gerry Frankel and Marcia Hubert, who were continually debating with each other about some phase of cheerleading. None of us can forget :hose plaintive pleas for a few spare bobby-pins! So that was the cheerleading team of 1947-1948. In spite of our complaints now and then. we had a wonderful time together, and thank the school for all the noise they made at the games. Julius Freid and his big drum, Joan Shaw and her cymbals, combined with many shrieking Edgewoodites, seven girls clad in green and white hopping up and down, and a strong and victorious basketball, and foot- ball team all spell out spirit, something Edgewood will never be without!

Basketball '48 Every year finds the Edgewood girls basketball team marching over to Rose- mary School for a practice game in their large gym. That event took place on janu- ary 21, this year. The forwards were Maida, Kit. Marcia, Judy Gordon, and bludy Goldsmith and the guards were jo Ann. Sue Ann, Elizabeth. and Bobby Herbert. After playing steadily for almost 40 minutes the score was 32-15, in favor of Rose- mary. The delicious cup-cakes and cokes served after the game partially compensated for the bitter loss. We played Daycroft on Monday, February 16, and again on Monday, March Monday must be our lucky day for we won both games. We beat Daycroft 58-33 in the first game and 43-27 in the last game. In between these games we played Rye Country Day and lost. That fateful day was Thursday, February 26, and if I re- member correctly Nancy was not wearing her turtle neck sweater which had brought us so much luck in our other games.
