Y v ay.. w fgmfff aah, f CEELKBSS WUSUCDUQTY September lst, 1958, was the date of the kick- off of that memorable game which ended May 22, l9M2. There were seventy-one players who sprang into pub- lic notice when they ran onto the field. The team was divided under two coaches--Miss Clara and Mr. Garrett--and was led by two captains--Jeanne Martin and Tommy Connelly. In this quarter, several players were disqualified for various and sundry reasons, such as marriage, departure from the field of action, and ineligibility. The team performed no outstanding feats this quarter, but was engaged in laying a foun- dation for the rest of the game. when the second quarter started, Mr.Burkha1ter and Mr. Garrett, two of our officials, had left us. Our team had diminished between quarters, and only 65 players put in an appearance. Our new coach was Mr. McKenzie and the two sections had united under the leadership of Captain Tommy Connelly. During this quarter we lost five more players for the aforemen- tioned reasons. The team was cooperating splendidly, and playing an excellent game. At the end of this second quarter, Miss Carroll, another official, re- tired to the grandstands. After a pleasant rest between halves, our wor- thy team came surging back--fifty-one strong. The valipnt little coach, Miss Polly, was aided and a- betted by Captain Connelly, who was then serving his third quarter. As they say, you can't keep a good team down, and we were no exception. with rubber- like resiliency, we have bounded higher and higher, until, at the end of our third quarter, we were in perfect position to enter into the glories of our last period of playing. ghd ,4.'
