Snow transforms lilt hillside into a scene of beauty. The front of the school, though rarely used, collects its share of students during lunch time. It’s more than a building After everything is over. The dancing has stop- ped. The halls are quiet. Close friends are gone and working faraway. During the long hot spells of summer, everyone takes a backward glance at the school. Remember- ing and waiting for it all to start all over again. 28 Activities

A backward glance at tradition One look at the trophy case is all that's needed to assure a casual observer of the fact that Flem- ington High has been very successful from an ath- letic stand point. Flemington, since winning their first third place trophy in Girls’ basketball back in 1931. has gone on to win ten sectional trophies, 5 regional tro- phies and many more Holiday and “Little 10” championships. Not to be excluded were the cheerleaders, with trophies in 1957-58. Basketball at Flemington is on the up-swing again — under Coach Zimmerman, a new teacher to the area. Dedicated to making the Greyhounds a strong team, Coach understands the integral parts of the game. Being a fundamentalist player, Zim- merman teaches his players to play clean, hard, and to give 150% in practice and in the game. Basketball went down after Robert Shields, principal, moved from coach to his present posi- tion. A rapid transition of coaches was one of the major reasons why the basketball program sunk. With Zimmerman’s program, dedication and knowledge of the game is definitely on the up- swing. With a backward glance, the team hopes to bring future teams to the high standard of play that has been such a tradition at Flemington High. 30 Athletics
