GIRLS ' BASKETBALL !» T During practice the girls try to develop their under-the-basket strategy. The girls ' basketball team under the auspices of a new coach, Miss Brown, connpiled an excellent 6-1-1 record. Seven varsity let+er winners returning from 1959 continued to exhibit their oustanding teamwork and ball handling. The guards, led by captain Petey Bain- bridge, set up a strong defense. This fact was evident in the scoring results. Harriton ' s opponents had a low scoring total of 288 points compared to Harriton ' s 409 points. The consistent support of the forwards in addition to her own native adoitness enabled Barbara Taylor to score 165 points throughout the season, averaging 20 points per game. The spirit, determination, and teamwork displayed by the giris proved the theory that ability is not the only qualification which guarantees the success of a team.

However, the six starters (Richard Abel, Woody Arnold, Jim Bolton, John Dubin, Gerry Gerson, and John MacDonald) sought higher goals. All six were varsity veterans from the previous year. Exhibiting the value of these players ' experience, the team rapidly climbed from third place rank to first place. Throughout the season, the squad demonstrated its ability to win consistently by retaining the king pin spot. Nevertheless, the bowlers finally met their equal when competing against Haverford. In this match the Fords edged the Rams and achieved the lead position that the Rams had held. Next year ' s team may suffer the loss of several seniors, but the Junior Varsity prospects are very promising. DemonstraTing his winning technique, John Mc Donald leads off for hiarriton ' s bowling squad. GOLF JSS X ' SViSiS GOLF The energetic golfers teed off again this year at Valley Forge Golf Club. Coach Stanley Westover and the team diligently practiced eighteen holes of golf often after school hours. With two returning lettermen, Bart Miller and Mike Saltzburg, and the addition of two feminine players, Jean Frommeyer and Sandy Walls, Mr. Westover predicted at the beginning of the season that the I960 golf team would at least parallel the record establshed during the 1959 season. However, the team members had the high hope of setting an even better record. i - ' « Skilled golfer, Mike Saltzburg, takes a practice swing during a warm-up period. FIRST ROW: B. Landis, J.

(the code is known only by the team members) Ann and WIssa Hahn felt that the I960 swimming team had had an excellent season. Being unable to find a pool which Harriton could use regularly, the team was handicapped. Nevertheless, this proved only more strongly the outstanding ability that the mermaids had; for they succeeded in defeating Baldwin, whose teams practiced almost every day. Ann Hahn ' s fifth in the butterfly, the freestyle relay team ' s third, plus several sixth places helped Harriton to place eighth in the P.I. A. A. Districts. Lower Merion ' s swimmers challenged Harriton ' s mermaids to a meet on March i I. Once more showing the capable coaching of Mr. Spealler, Harritons swimmers showed their superior ability and style and defeated their rivals. This meet con- cluded the season with a seven wms, one tie record. ive losses, arc GIRLS ' LACROSSE The Harriton stickgals scored a thrilling opening victory over their long unbeaten opponent, Haver- ford. This triumph gave the girls high hopes for their remaining matches. A portion of these high hopes were found on the excellent coaching of Miss Heylmun and the enthusiasm of captain, PattI Driscoll. Nine varsity let+erwinners returned from 1959, giving the team tremendous strength. Five of these nine were key defense players who built strong foundations and support for the Ramettes. With any team, there is always room for improvement; this year the girls concentrated on bringing their stickwork up to their play. The preceding season had been only the warm-up period. During I960 the girls began to demonstrate their potential. Full utilization was made of their im- proved skills, pep, and good sportsmanship. As a result the team had no difficulty in attaining their high hopes of a winning season. 9 In team scrimmage Rita Car- son, guarded by Pa++i Driscoll, flings a shot toward the goal. FIRST ROW: C.
