GOLFERS COMPLETE WINNING SEA ON Preparing for the coming sea son, golfers practiced indoors SEATED Patrick Gloverg Paul Scovilleg Gregory Davis. STANDING: David Collins Timothy Conlin. Maple Hillis five golfers ended their 1963 season victoriously. Under the supervision of Mr. Warren Davis, the golfers teed off at Cordial Greens Country Club early in the season. Bad weather slowed the growth of the new course, and forced the team to use Totem Lodge at West Sand Lake as their home course. Challenging nearby schools such as Averill Park, Catskill, Chatham and Co- lumbia, the team lost only two matches. The power and deter- mination of the entire team backed the superior driving ability of Dave Collins, for which he was awarded the Most Valuable Golfer award for the '63 season. 4

Wildcats profit from pre-game pointers. TRI MPHANT IN 1963 Finishing the season with a 6-4 win-loss record, the Wildcat nine showed great potential and displayed a great will to Win in their 1963 season. An opening defeat suffered at the hands of Waterford sparked the Maple Hill Wildcats to a string of four straight wins, including a 13-3 come-back over Waterford. ln spite of the loss of outgoing seniors, the team showed true co- operation and versatility. This diversity was shown by the ability of the players to play multiple positionsg three out of the starting nine were pitchers, and the infield and outfield were interchangeable. Vincent Valenti's outstanding performance both behind and beside the plate earned him abatting average of .464 and the Most Valuable Player award for the 1963 season. Through a united team effort. the Wildcats emerged with a victorious season. After hitting a homer, Valenti drives to the plate. Tossone recovers from a steal.
