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.

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.
