Intramurals Play Role in Pupil Development Realizing the importance of athletic competition as a necessary element in the evolution of mature indtvid- uals, the George Wythe Athletic Department formu- lated a specific, yet diversified intramural program, per- mitting all grade levels and abilities to compete in a sport. Sparked by a highly competitive homeroom basket- ball league, the Boys’ Intramural Program was extreme- ly interesting and profitable to all participating. Wythe’s feminine flock, also, derived beneficial re- sults from their intriguing competition, including a spec- tacular volleyball tournament.

Experience and Skill Gained by Young Team The Lady Bulldogs opened the season with only three varsity players returning from last year. Inexperience, however, did not dampen the spirits of the young team as they took the field against the green of Saint Ger- trude’s losing by a small majority of 2 to 1. The season continued with losses against Thomas Jefferson, Saint Catherine’s, Collegiate, and Hopewell; but the spirit and the teamwork of the group never ceased. This aggres- siveness paid off when the shin-knockers won their first game with a victory over Marymount, 3 to 1. Closing the season, the team met their arch-rival, John Marshall, in close competition ending with the Ladies on the winning side of the score. Aided by her sister, Carmen, Sharon Gaunt was te- sponsible for the majority of the goals for the season. The entire forward line, however, received much sup- port from a strong defense with many up-and-coming underclassmen. Mrs. Peple, new to George Wythe but not to hockey, did a great deal to encourage the girls and improve their skill. The Lady Bulldogs ended the season with a fine showing at the District Tournament defeating Saint Gertrudes, 2 to 1; losing to one of the top teams, Saint Catherine’s, 3 to 0. Nancy Moorefield, a senior and captain of the team, was chosen for the Tidewater Reserve Team and elected its captain. Gertrudes.
