Var ity Lacrosse Coach ...... . ......., Mr. Cramer FEVV years ago Massapequa High School organized a lacrosse team. Wfhen they first entered varsity competition, disaster followed. Lack of experience led to injuries and a had record. But tl1is year's action showed a different story. It was the first year that we had a majority of seniors who had had four years of experience in lacrosse. The seniors Ray Burrows, Rudy Richardson, Bob Berg, ,lack Farley, Dick Linzer, and Wvoody Kennedy were the mainstays of the team that led the Chiefs to an impressive winning season. Some stickmen from this sea- son's team who look promising for next year are Dennis Tyras and Andy Boyar. Lacrosse is rapidly becoming a major sport at Massapequa and in Nassau County. Because it is a very exciting and inter- esting sport, lacrosse will be exceedingly popular in a few years and should become a major spectator sport. Fro h Lacrosse First row-li, lioyar, J.

Varsity Golf Coach ...............................,..................,.,, . .,,,....,,......,,.........,,.....,,,...,.......,,...,,, , ,, ...... Mr. Finger HE golf team had a successful season in 1960 despite the loss of such outstanding golfers as Vincent Gilroy, Richard Mc- Kiernan, and Bill Wilson in 1959. Russ ,lohnson was the only returning first stringer for the team. With Bob Calhoun, Vic Meyers, and Doug Glaysher to help, Johnson led the team to another season of decisive victories. Var it Tenni Coach ...........................,...,.........,....,.,......................,.........,.....,..,. .,,..........,................ M r. McGee . HE Varsity Tennis Team had an unsuccessful season this year, since the loss of six out of the seven starting players on last year's lineup proved to he too great a loss to overcome. The final record, though, does not tell the entire story. Powers such as Baldwin, Lawrence, and Uniondale defeated the Chiefs by close 3-2 scores. The adept playing of ,lules Solnick, Marty Fox, and Bill Mindlin in the singles, and Bill Nichols, Dennis Oleck, Ken Young, and Dick Goodman in the doubles, provided the bulk ofthe wins this year.
