Close and exciting games typitied Manhasset's December non-league varsity basketball season. We lost to Farmingdale. Sea Cliff. and lireeport in the tirst three games, but climaxed the season with a heartening victory over Baldwin. Although the junior varsity record looked ecjually discouraging on the surtace. the l.ittle Indians had also been gaining experience. The sejuad was made up of freshmen and sophomores and the division of high scoring honors gave hope ot a strong varsity in the future. The girls too were active in sports throughout November and December. Alter the hockey sea- son, volleyball began and more than Itltl girls t-ormed ten intramural teams with such picturesque names as the Menacing Monsters, the Potent Pigeons, and the l.ollipops. There were two playdays, one with Port Wfashington and one with Roslyn. The honor and reserve teams were picked on December I6 and I7 and played Great Neck on December 20. Volleyball was not the only attraction: about seventy girls went out lor bowling. Sue Liebrecht captured the honors with a high score of 176 while Lynn Mackxfatt, Midge Wilkeri, and Ann Stiegler also proved to be agile on the alleys. URCHIQSTRA
