GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The 1956 basketball season was one of the most successful in the history of girls' basketball here at Lyndon. After losing the first two games, the girls held the lead throughout the remainder of the season ending with an eight-two record. From the first game played, the team exemplified the outstanding spirit and skill that was exhibited throughout the entire season. Even though there were fewer candidates this year than last, there was much enthusiasm shown by all the teammates. Not shown in picture are the follow- ing players: Marjorie Greenwood. Barbara Brown. Irene Spring. Vivian Boardman. Annie Wright. Mary Charron, Barbara Peters: and co-managers Pauline Bickford and Janice Chandler.

MENS’ SOCCER Under the supervision of all-American Coach Melvin Schmid. Lyndon Teachers College has developed a lively interest in the international sport. soccer. After a brief introduction to soccer in 1953, the interest picked up enough for the estab- lishment of an intercollegiate team in 1954. Two games were played which both resulted in losses; but as the year 1955-56 rolled around, twenty-five men came out to try their luck. Although no wins were recorded. LI C was a tough team to defeat as the scores indicate. From a start of a two game schedule in 1954. and a five game schedule in 1955. the hope of the future is for seven or eight games each fall. Coach Schmid has participated at the National Soccer Forum in Florida for the past two years and hopes to take his team down to sec the show and perhaps play in the annual North-South All-Star game.
