Varsity Field Hockey's Lucky Eleven Eleven or not? This question haunted the girls, first hockey team for the entire season. Would this be their eleventh consecutive unde- feated season? Though the question haunted the team, it never did affect its determined spirit. Throughout each game the Amazonian eleven exhibited its fine ability to drive, dribble and dodge. The Varsity came through with a record of 17 goals, scored in five games, opposed with only one goal, which was slipped in by Rosemary. Tension mounted before the opening game versus Unquowa, for this was the only team on the schedule never before encountered. Games with Rye and Rippowam followed, but both these op- ponents were crushed in the team's path to vic- tory. Rosemary, the next opponent, boldly chal- lenged the varsity, who were able to squeak through with a bare 1 - 1 tie. The official season was wound up with a tense game against Green- wich Academy junior varsity in which the eleven topped off the season with a 3 - 0 win. October fourteenth proved to be the brightest day of the season, when the entire team, with many eager supporters, gathered at Rosemary for Stuyvesant Day. After tying the eleventh and twelfth grade varsity from the Greenwich Acad- emy in a hard-fought match, our starting eleven defeated New Canaan 2-0, and Unquowa, Stuyvesant Day evokes grins and grimaces. Mothers resort to sorcery in Alumnae game 3 --0. All Cincluding Sammy, the Symmers' thieving black labrador, who munched unsus- pecting girls' lunchesj eagerly anticipated the choosing of the select Stuyvesant and Reserve teams. Our high hopes were not to be unfulfilled, and although all our competitors were high school juniors and seniors, three of our players: Margie Gray, left wingg Marion Manger, center halfbackf' and Miggie Chisholm, right Wing, were named tot the Stuyvesant team. Selected for the Reserve team were center forward, Eliza Conze and left halfback, Helen Hubbard, and an honor- able mention was given to Martha Ward. Filling in the spaces between the above 'fStuy- vesant Sixv were, inners, Susie Symmers and Gina Greene, right halfback, Taffy Fisher, right fullback, Captain Sheila Blair, goalie, Carla Bow- en. Although not allowed to play on Stuyvesant Day, our subs, Lisa Flinn, Gretchen Weisel, Laura Vanderbilt, and Hope Hennigar reliably filled in when needed. The above statistics do not place into account a game in which the Alumnae and mothers used masks, witchcraft, and other instruments of ter- ror, and won an unofficial game by a narrow margin of one goal allowed by an incompetent timer. This continuing record of success, the enthusi- asm of the many girls who tried out for hockey, and the spirit of the team which never floundered for a moment, is a tribute to coach Mrs. Rogers. 97
