THE BLOTTER The School Has a Strong Program of Athletics In Athletics the school has been strong from the beginning. A dominant feature of the athletic program for boys and girls is that every physically lit pupil participates, in the Lower School and High School. The sports indulged in at Kew- Forest School prepare the graduates for the same kind of activity in College. The Girls Athletic Association, to which every High School girl belongs, was founded in October 1925, All girls are members of Red and Blue teams and these have continued in healthy rivalry. In March of every year, a Song and Stunt Contest is held before a large audience of parents and friends, when Red and Blue High School teams compete for winning honors. So enthusiastic over this contest have the girls become, that up to 1947, too much money and time were spent in prepara- tion. Beginning with 1947, this program has been conducted under a charter which regulates money and time that may be consumed in preparation. The field hockey team has been undefeated in 1926, 1928, 1951, 1935, 1943, 1946. In several different years All Long Island Hockey Teams have been chosen, with Kew-Forest School girls fea- tured and honored as leaders. Basketball has been the winter sport, with an undefeated team in 1930, 1940. Lacrosse was introduced in 1934 and had an undefeated team in 1946. At different seasons, the girls have competed in bowling, volley ball, soft- ball and tennis, in addition to the above mentioned sports. The coaching and leadership of Miss Doris E. Sonner, her assistants and her predecessors are shown in the results. The Boys Athletic Association is the organiza- tion for boys. Soccer has been the fall sport for years, with undefeated teams in 1946 and 1947. In the fall of 1947, an All Scholastic Queens Soccer Team was chosen with jack Ogden an hon- ored member. In the winter, boys play basketball, in the spring baseball, which team was undefeated in 1941. Mr. Charles W. Delahunt has lead the boys for several years in the successful sports mentioned above. Tennis was played by boys from 1928 through 1942, with Dr. Dixon many years the coach and team undefeated in 1928 and 1931. Other boys sports practiced at different times have been football, swimming, golf. The athletic pro- grams for each year culminate in two banquets,- one for girls and one for boys. These are two of the happiest occasions of the year, thoroughly en- joyed by parents, teachers, pupils, when many cups and awards are presented to girls and boys. Two World Wars Linked with School's History The school was founded during World War I. In World War II, twenty-three years later, in the enlisted U. S. Military services there served 6 members of the faculty, 70 alumni and 8 alumnae. With sincere patriotic fervor, pupils, teachers and parents bought War Bonds and served in many patriotic and philanthropic organizations. In the future as in the past, Kew-Forest School will continue its genuinely patriotic work of teach- ing and training each individual boy and girl in the school family to become, as far as possible, an intelligent citizen of the United States of America and a man or Woman alert to the need of the solution of the problems of the world.
