VARSITY BASKETBALL More candidates than ever before in the history of the school turned out for basketball in 1955-1956. Of the four teen finally chosen for the Varsity Team, six were freshmen: three, sophomores: four, juniors: and one was a senior. The Green Hornets played a total of sixteen games and ended the season with a six won and ten lost record which was considered good since it was a practically new team, inexperienced in college play. With almost the entire team returning next year and with many promising Junior Varsity men. even better days ap- pear to be ahead. Some new Lyndon records were made this year. They set a new high for a score made in one game, with 109 points against MacDonald College. Perley Wright with 56 points against the Norwich Jun- ior Varsity set a new high for individual scoring. Naaman Green set a new high for rebounds in a single game with 30 against Norwich.

CHEERLEADERS Last year the WAA decided to have two cheerleading squads. One squad would be assigned to the varsity teams; and the second, to the junior varsity. The need then arose for new uni- forms which the WAA purchased after raising money for them. Captain of the varsity cheerleaders was Joy Wood worth with Judy Hamil- ton. Barbara Brown. Irene Spring. Patri- cia Penn, and Patricia Staples comprising the rest of the staff. To add a little spice in the line of gymnastic cheerleading, the varsity squad added Norman Hunt and Roger Couture. As in the past Mr. Schmid coached the varsity squad. The junior varsity cheerleaders were coached by veteran cheerleader Shirley Jenks. Virginia Glover was chosen cap- tain. and the rest of the squad consisted of Virginia Lawrence, Carole Garand. Muriel Rocheleau. Jean Paris. Vivian Boardman, and Janice Bishop. ■ 22

SOFTBALL Nineteen candidates appeared for the girls’ uled. all to be played on the home field: but the softball team in 1955. Four games were schcd- Castleton T eachers College game was rained out after three innings of play. T he game with Peacham was the most ex- citing with the result uncertain until the final out was made, leaving the Lyndon girls victor- ious. The Lyndon Institute team, playing su- perior baseball throughout the game, gave the college girls their only defeat of the season: but the Hornettes rallied in their final game and de- feated the Vermont Junior College team. Elaine Demars and Shirley Hoisington were the regular pitchers with Winona Peck the third hurler. Alice Hazen completed the bat- tery. catching all the games. On the offensive. Josephine Riegel and Alice Hazen wielded mighty bats. Softball still remains a minor sport on the campus, but there is a growing interest in the game with more than twice as many candidates in 1956 and the introduction of intramural softball on the Campus. 24
