This year, Teoneck's Women's Fencing coach, Terry Terhune, was faced with the task of building a new varsity fencing squad to replace last year's senior champions. The new varsity line- up included sophomores, Marlene Ayres, Francine Emr, and Diane Gibb, and iunior Patricio Ford. With the exception of Miss Ford, all had only one year of fencing experience. The first year iunior-vorsity members were freshmen, Shelley Edelstein and Judy Notrey, and seniors, Sottie Kipp and Dottie Topnick. The girls knew their chances of success in the intercollegi- ate competitions were slim, since many of their opponents would be seasoned tencers. Undounted by the odds, they smiled with a cool confidence, braced by unconquerable spirit. Twenty laps around the gym, tedious exercises, stren- uous Iinework, and intricate lessons were the routine every Monday and Wednesday night. Determined, the girls soon erased can't from their minds. In February when the sea- son commenced, the girls were ready. With hashing foils they fought their way to victory in four straight wins. Conti- dence mounted as they continued their good performance, bringing their mid-seoson record to five victories and one defeat. Can the girls achieve the high quality of last year's team? Ask them and they'll reply We can! women's fencing

Mickey Yorkston, Phil Kirschen, Harry Newman, Al Block, Nondor Uray, Don Smoldone and Don Groom. fencing After compiling a 1-9 record in the '64 season, Coach Wally Houber's fencers finished with a 4-5 slate this year. The FDU squad was doing quite well until mid-semester. The best sabre man on the team, Don Groom of Canada, dropped out for academic reasons. This left a gap in the FDU line-up which would mean defeat in several closely fought encounters. Yorkston, Welter, and Schutzel led the Knight foilers to victory over Yeshiva, Montclair State, Cooper Union and Fordhom. In all the competitive events; epee, foil, and sabre; these men led the squad. Although a 4-5 record is not exceptional, it must be considered a triumph when comparing the seasonal records of past years and noting that the competition gets keener and rougher each year. Next season, Don Groom will lead the Houbermen in their various fencing encounters. 96
