The Senior Varsity played only three games-one with the Day School, which was a close defeat for our team, and two with Hamden High School, the first a tie, the second, our loss. The junior Varsity, although they practiced energetically and enthusiastically all season, played only two games, both with Unquowa. The first game was lost to the opposition 6 to 1, but in the second the team was redeemed by a tie score of 2 to 2 The players and their positions on both teams were as follows: The Senior Var- sity-Captain Emily Perrins, Left Half, Manager Carol Nutile, Center Forward, Charlotte Freeman, Left Inner, Loel Kaiser, Right Inner, Evelyn Rademacher, Right Wing, Lisa Ore, Left Wing, Susan Thalheimer, Center Half, Joy Davis, Right Half, Nancy McGahey, Right Fullback, Lois Hall, Left Fullback, Carol Sperry, Goalie, joy Sundgaard, Carolyn Pierpont, and Joyce Slater, Substitutes. - junior Varsity--Captain jill Sundgaard, Center Half, Manager Mary Lou McNeil, Right Inner, Mary Rossman, Center Forward, Sally Corbett and Maude Pickands, Left lnners, Patty Perkins, Right Wing, Bobsey Wells, Left Wing, Marcia Snyder, Right Half, Betsey Muller, Left Half, Nancy McKinster, Right Fullback, Nancy Budden, Left Fullback, Jean Turbert and joan Budge, Goalies, Margo Bradford, Rodameir Duncan, Beth MacKay, Edene Leader, Marcia Suarez, Natalie Laudano, and Cathleen Thomas, 'Substitutes Baseball SENIOR VARSITY E' JUNIOR VARSITY Fmt!

Baske+baH JUNIOR VARSITY Fin! Row: Peck, Leighton, Gartland, A. Rosenquist, Captain Copeland, J. Earle, Goggins. Second Row: Cairns, Manager Anderson, Hall, Noto, Rosenblatt, Mr. Delano. This year the junior basketball team was under the direction of Mr. Delano. The first game caught the Hamden Hall team unawares due to only a week of prac- tice. Bridgeport came through with a score of 23 to Hamden Hall's 18. The second game showed the results of strenuous practice, and through fast playing and teamwork we scored a victory over Trinity Parish-I9 to 14. Four more games on the schedule resulted in four more losses. Though unsuccessful in these attempts, the team was noteworthy for its sportsmanship and teamwork. To Dick Copeland, captain, and Hugh Anderson, manager, goes the credit for the spirit which sustained it throughout the season. The players and their positions on the hrst squad were as follows: Dick Copeland, forward, Art Rosenquist, forward, Keen Leighton, center, Howie Gartland, guard, jim Earle, guard.

Prize Awards The Dr. John P. Cushing Prize Fund was established by the Alumni who attended Hamden Hall Country Day School during the administration of Dr. Cushing. Each year this award is made to a member of the graduating class by the vote of the faculty and student body on the basis of character, scholarship, good fellowship, service, loyalty, and appreciation of the ideals of Hamden Hall. The prize, which is presented during Commencement exercises, was awarded in 1946 to Arleen Bamberg, now at Pembroke College. The Colonel Herbert H. Vreeland Prize is the highest honor that can be accorded a member of the eighth grade at Hamden Hall. The award is made yearly on the same basis as the Dr. Cushing Prize by the vote of the faculty and students. The Vreeland Prize was presented in 1946 to Lurinda Mack. Awards in French and Latin are offered. The French prize, presented on the basis of scholastic record and an original French essay, was given to Marilyn Shearer, now at Katharine Gibbs Secretarial School. For excellence in Virgil the prize in Latin was won by Ann Rademacher. The Rensselaer Medal for excellence in mathematics was awarded last year to Clifford DeW'olf, now at the United States Coast Guard Academy. The Bausch and Lomb Award for mathematics and science was established last year for the first time. The honor went to Elaine Lackman, now at Wellesley College. Each year the members of the faculty choose the best essays among those which the seniors submit as a requirement of their English course. This prize essay is read by the author on Commencement Day. The honor last year went to Marie Bergeron, now at Smith College, for her essay Stalin-Man of Steel. The valedictory was given by Elaine Lackman.
