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.

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.

Baseball '48 Along with the feeling of Spring comes the urge to play baseball, and as soon as the ground is dry enough we take to the fields. A large group have signed up for baseball and the ones who will probably make the team are Maida, Sue, jo, jane Iserman, Judy Gordon, Evie, Ib, Diana, joey, Barbara Low, Sandy Eldridge and Anita. We can't help reading about the merits Cand demeritsj of the girls' athletics without mentioning the woman who makes the program possible. She is none other than Nancy Ware. She has been coaching at Edgewood for years and everyone has enjoyed working with het. She can occasionally be found sitting on the big rock to the left of the driveway, always with a cheery smile on her face and a pleasant word for all. Thank you Nance, for all the fun you have given us.
