Klein, Miss Heylmun, Coach. The return of six letter winners from 1958 enabled this year ' s varsity hockey team to attain a successful season with a 6-2 record. Narrowly defeated in their initial outing, the team rebounded and won the second game against Ridley Township, 4-0. Nevertheless, the girls still had a hard fight ahead of them, for they lost the next game in the last minutes of play to Harri- ton ' s rival Haverford, 4-3. At this time, coach Barbara Heylmun with the assistance of captain Rita Carson introduced a new method called minute-to-minute play and instilled in the team a strong desire for victory. The result was new-found confidence and a dynamic spirit, for the team won its next five games with scores of 4-0, 5-0, 2-0, 4-0, 2-0 respectively. The evidence of the team ' s ability shows in their scoring of 25 goals while holding their opponents to a total of 7. High scorer for the season was Rita Carson with I I goals. While referring to the achievements of the team, one should remember that it was a splendid combination of the forwards and the strong backfield that built such an outstanding record during the past season.

McCloskey remained undefeated throughout the league season, placing first in seven consecutive meets. His record- shattering performances attracted large crowds to the dual meets. It was fitting that the Ram ' s best effort should be their last. They defeated Penncrest 44-17, placing five men in the first six slots. The course record of 13-49-8 was established by Mc- Closkey in a 34-20 loss to Marple-Newton, a team which Coach Spealler called the toughest on our schedule. Harriton placed twelfth in the district meet as Mc- Closkey finished eighth. This qualified the sophomore for the state championships, held at Penn State, where, dis- playing his best ability, McCloskey finished fourth among the top runners in the entire state. Despite the loss of this year ' s Co-Captains, Rodger Digilio and Ed Sterne, and five varsity letter winners, the forecast for next season is favorable. The return of five varsity men should aid in leading the Rams to future victories. FIRST ROW: E. Sterne, R. Toub, G. McGann, B. Sunsteln, B. Clark, J. Ste.niik, A. Poliitt. SECOND ROW: P.
