(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.

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.

BOYS ' TENNIS Ned Sdxman, second sir c u :. ; Harrifon, follows fhrough on h.s forenand drive. George Sokol receives Most Valuable Player award from coach Carl Schneider. GIRLS ' TENNIS One of the most successful boys ' sports at Harrlton was the tennis team. Led by coach Karl Schneider, the team com- piled an amazing record as they bowled opponents over right and left. First man for the team was all-state senior, George Sokol, whose powerful ground strokes and even temperament made him the finest net man in the area. Backing this star were Steve Borish, Andrew Braunfeld, Cal English, Mark Hallet, and Ned Saxman. In commenting on this year ' s squad coach Schneider said Their (the team ' s) desire to play winning tennis overcame one of Harriton ' s great deficiencies: no real school tennis courts. Harriton High School and friends salute George Sokol. His hard work, his leadership, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit identify him as one of the top junior players in the land. Captain and 1959 all-sfate c ' nam- pion George Sokol smashes one over the net. FIRST ROW: M. Hallet, G. Sokol, D. Girard-Di-Carlo, C. English, A. Braunfeld, S. Borish, S. Smith. SECOND ROW: G.

Although Harriton had not had many practices prior to the match, coach Gulick felt that her 1-eam had enough support from its players to carry it through the contest. Once more the Highlanders upheld the hopes of their coach. The girls met Radnor and won 4-1. The following matches were with Norristown, Haverford, and Cheltenham. In spite of this tough schedule, first, second, and third singles (Anne Hahn, Petey Bain- bridge, Wissa Hahn) and first and second doubles (Alice Belmonte and Karen Ramsey, Ann Belmonte and Tootsle Hahn) proved their skill and upheld the victorious Harriton spirit.
