Nevertheless. I’ve chosen to use That form of exi)ression — what can T lose? Our first day of practice. I’ll always remember, A very warm day early in September. All of you were new to me then — Your names, your faces, and even your men. Center. Inner, Goalie, and Wing. Each with a different story to bring. Halfl)ack and Fullback, 1 mustn’t forget And. oh yes, the manager was there with her fret. There were quite a few to fill each position, And the air was full of keen competition. Choosing the right girls for the team Was hard to do. Now, what I mean Is that there were so many there, I came quite close to having gray hair. At first I had a doubt in mind. As to whether or not in you I ' d find The things which make a real Hockey Team, One which is really “on the beam.” But 1 soon found out that you had the stuff To keep right on when the going got tough. To |)lay together with the zest to win. Being loyal to M. N. through thick and thin. Our practices were quite original. The varied costumes were far from dismal. We very often got started late. Our busy lives- I guess that’s Fatel It was usually hot, cold, or damp. As around the field you did ' pant. The apples supplied from the nearby trees. Most all of us, they did please. We practiced ’til it got so dark. Homeward hound we did start. And then the nets they must come down! Some helped with a smile — a few with a frown. Lynn and O’Malley for the goal did fight: Gerry and Louise kept the ball out of sight, Joyce did well when she was on her feet. To watch Lillian drive is really a treat. Janice too. e.xcept for her sticks And Stella displaying her skillful tricks. Lois finally a goal did make. It went right in. there’s no mistake. Betty and arie shifted around. First right then left, now up now down. Bobby out in the alley would shout, “Two sides to a field without a doubt!” The hall when finally passed her way A real hockey game she did play. Ruth, way over on the other side All of us could watch with pride. Dribbling, passing, and shooting, too. We ' re all exceptionally good, it’s true. Our first game was post])oneil because of rain. The Battle with Radnor ended in a tie Our game with Haverford started our fame The season was quickly flying by, Clifton’s game imt us in a rut Our sjtirits fell, hut we didn’t give up. A victory followed the very next week; Ellis College was the team we did defeat. Springfield caught us unaware; e had the wdll. hut the jtep wasn’t there. The cold weather that day didn’t help. But our droopy drawers were warmly felt. e finally rallied our spirits together To play Nether-Providetice in spite of the weather. We had the will and we had the vim. ■So our last game we did win. But what I ' m here to praise you for Isn’t the victories nor the score. But rather the spirit with which you iilayed Our Hockey Team was really OK.-W. Marple-Neu ' tou ' H High School
