The sports calendar for November read: Basketball and bowling tournaments . With the coming of colder weather we turned to indoor games. Intramural basket- ball was played and the Sophomores were triumphant. We cheered our respective teams on and, even if we couldn't all win, we had a grand time losing. Louise Tufano was respon- sible for the fine organization of these tourna- ments. The bowling tournament was in full swing too. Jeannie Johnson, as coordinator, received excellent cooperation. The pin gals were a little tired, but who cares. Their bowling tech- niques, especially those of Marylin Peterson and Marietta Tripician, were exceptional.

We did so and with the help of Culbertson, Blackwell, and a strong sense of humor, we did surprisingly well. The sports calendar for January read: Bad- minton and ping-pong tournaments .

Betty Guinane arranged for the annual sen- ior vs. faculty game. This activity accom- plished a twofold aim: it helped to increase the N.F.C.C.S. relief fund, and it afforded fun and good will between students and faculty. As is the custom, the seniors came garbed in disguise. The mysterious attire this year was that ofa ghost as the Spirit of the famous and victorious class of l947 who were the most recent champions of this particular game. The faculty once more displayed a fine spirit of sportsmanship and humor as they ap- peared on this occasion. Their costume was clever and created quite a stir among the spec- when it comes to serious bridge. tators as they watched their dignified teachers eagerly appear on the volleyball court. Each sport was represented by a fitting garb as the faculty members appeared as Olympic stars of l999. What was the score? 41-2O!l Yes, the seniors were as victorious as their big sister class of l947. Evidently the ghosts were more flesh than spirit. The sports calendar for March read: Arch- ery and squash tournaments. March saw our Robin Hoods called to the Blue and Gold. Matilda DiStefano was in charge of the archery tournament and saw to it that the girls used the proper equipment and archery techniques. The squash tournament was under the ca- pable leadership of Sophie Bigelow. Few girls participated as it is one of the world's most dif- ficult games.
