A strong crew of freshmen and sophomores turned out for junior var- sity basketball this year and gave a winning season to Coach Harry Ness. The J.V.'s played a wide schedule of games, ranging from college teams to Class A high schools. Most of Jfneir games were played as preliminary to the varsity. The young Hornets from Vail Hill highlighted the season with an iron man stunt by playing three games in two days, winning two of the ball games.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The Lyndon Teachers College Hornets, under the leadership of their new mentor. Coach Harry Ness, had one of the finest seasons in the history of the college. Off to a bad start, the Varsity finally hit its stride against arch rival Castleton Teachers College. They then continued on and whizzed through the remaining games. The Green Hornets sported new warm-up jackets this season which took the place of the aged and worn out older jackets. Next year's team hopes to be a veteran team as only Captain Wally Harris will be lost by graduation. SCHEDULE Alumni Nasson College U.V.M.

The Hornette lassies had a very successful softball season in 1956 under the guidance of Mr. Phillip D. Noll. They began the season with a win over Castleton Teachers College and continued the column of wins with one over Peacham and two over Lyndon Institute, our valley neighbors. The season was necessarily short because of a late spring for which Vermont is sometimes noted. This did not daunt the spirit of the Vail Lassies as their season indicated. The 1957 season has prospects of being equally successful since all of the squad are returning for another chance at home runs. Many promising Freshman recruits will add new life and vigor to the team and assure Firtt row: Judith Hamilton, Shirley Day, Vivian Boardman, ETta Bishop, Maxine Emery, Marjorie McKee.

With a new field to play on and more people to choose from, each year seems to be looking forward to bigger and better softball for the girls and baseball for the boys. SOFTBALL 29
