Full of fighting spirit and splendid team eo- operation, the girls' varsity and junior varsity bas- ketball teams had a very successful season. Al- though they won only three games and lost four. the scores of the games nmst be considered. Two of the defeats were losses by only two and three points. This is quite a difference from the scores of other years. This year's varsity was the type of team in which every member played an integral part, the SCHEDULE Friends Select Germantown Fds ......., ..,..,., Friends' Select .,...,..

Sickness and other unfortunate occurrences which afllict every team did not miss our squad either. The squad was motivated by highly skillful teamworkg and, more than ever, be- cause of a scarcity of substitutes, every player was a necessity. Much of the success of the team this year should be credited to our new coach, Teacher Reggie Williams. It was a great pleasure knowing her and working with her this season. The season was not without its humorous as- pects. Probably the highlight of the season was the Ellis Country Day School game, at which four members of the team were accidentally stranded at Ellis for several hours. They enjoyed a delicious but thoroughly unexpected dinner there. With this balance of good humor. concentrated effort, and the will to win. the teams completed their season with pleasant memories and the feel- ing that they had gone one step further in achiev- ing their goal, the whole of life.

BU 5' Basketball BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL Sam Kasdin, Jerry Steingard, Donald McCarty, Bob Berger, Ed Kellerman, Fred Campo, John Wieland, Norman Silverman. The boys' basketball team, whose members ex- hibited both team spirit and individual prowess, really gave the spectators of Friends' Select some- thing to cheer about. The team won fifty per cent of their games this year. High scoring honors went to forward Ed Kellerman. The other forward po- sition was filled by Don McCarty, who made the All-Quaker Team. Our capable center man was Bob Berger, and quick thinking John Wieland did a fine job of directing the play. Fred Campo and Sam Kasdin completed this year's squad. The varsity was a Hghting teamg the outcome of each game was never certain until the final whistle blew. The boys devoted much of their free time to rigorous practice, and their diligence evidenced itself in each successive victory. The team members will have many vivid mem- ories of the side-lights of the season. What Select hitchhiker can ever forget the day Bob Berger's car broke down in Delaware? How many boys will recall smilingly the aching muscles which they acquired in pushing Bob Gammon's car those last few hundred feet to the crest of the hill? These situations demonstrate the good-natured accept- ance by the boys of the necessity of individual sacrifice for the benefit of the whole team. Almost all of the varsity teams will be grad- uated this year, and we should thank them for playing their games most expertly and contribut- ing towards the very successful seas-on of the squad.
