Hopewell won 5-2. “Come on, hurry up — the bus is gonna leave us!” “Will you wait a minute — I can’t find my other tennis shoe!” echoed in the locker rooms throughout a season of mostly away tennis matches. Because of vehicle difficulties this fourteen member team had to depend on charter bus transportation to away matches. According to one team member, “we didn’t mind the trip at all but we nearly drove the bus driver crazy.” To quote Coach Joanne Tucker “the team had great morale — even with a season plagued with problems and conflicts.” Diane Gay and Betty Seavy, Susan Davis and Barbara Jean Bogese faced stiff opposition from private schools when they participated in doubles competition at a Longwood College Tournament, May 3. As luck would have it the tournament fell on the same day as the prom. Sunburned and unhappy at losing, these four girls hurried home to shower, change, and answer the door.

“One cannot expect fifteen men to do the job of a whole team.” That’s how Coach Frank Whipp summed up the season. “Our guys did well, but there were not enough of them to compete for the top places in all the events. We captured ten firsts in one meet and still lost.” With a lack of team depth and low interest in track and field the team just couldn’t seem to manage a win, though in several meets the score was close until the very end. In the Prince George meet the score was tied until the mile relay when the Devils finished second and lost. When the day for the meet with Dinwiddie arrived the Devils were ready and waiting. At 4 p.m. Dinwiddie showed up — one man — Overby. Dinwiddie’s forfeit gave the Devils their only victory, 136-0. Pierce Power. Second place was the result of this discus throw by Tommy Pierce in the home meet with Prince George. Royals won 81-54. Track — Lack of Depth, Close Losses Tell Story Track Team.
