Those people would point with pride to the Roosevelt Winged-Feet of the 1948 season. Track is not as yet a major sport at Roosevelt. This is mainly due to the small turnout of candidates as well as a limited schedule. With the completion of the new athletic field, a cinder oval may be constructed, offering more opportunities for practice, and in turn may lure more speedy hope- fuls into this increasingly popular sport. While not the outstanding team in Dutchess County, as far as victories go, the R. H. S. cinder-men were surpassed by few teams in spirit and will to win. Nllltlrg, The team took its many ups and downs in stride and looks forward to a much . ' - better season in the spring of 1949. , J 5 N f i ..

BASEBALL 1948 Last year the Roosevelt High School ball players saw one of their most suc- cessful seasons. Out of a fourteen game schedule, Coach Todd's boys won six and lost eight. While this does not seem too impressive, the Green and Gold team was outstanding in local competition. For the first time in their rivalry Roosevelt beat Poughkeepsie in baseball, but was not content with one victory, so went on to overpower them in the next game. Todd's Terrors rounded out 'the season by splitting two games each with Arlington and Wappingers. This year's team, composed mainly of veteran players, may expect another good season.

GIRLS' SOFTBALL 1948 With girls' interscholastic athletics at a minimum nowadays, participation in an athletic program has been limited. However, in the spring of 1948 this team made a creditable record for itself. The girls played teams from a few neighboring schools and won a majority of the games. The captain was Rita Helmet: the manager, Theresa Niet: and the coach, Mrs. Foster. Qxlkxxx ll
