GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The Girls’ Basketball Team finished a season of excellent playing on March 4, 1987. Much of this success is due to the faithful coaching of Mr. Douglas Roberts and Miss Hilda Haas as his assistant. Again this year Newtown was in first place with New Milford running a close second. Some of the team’s most valuable players will be lost this year through graduation. The girls who helped make the winter schedule a grand success were: Genevieve Johnson, Priscilla Northrop, Shirley Sussman, Polly Camp, Mary Wodjenski, Katherine Hosford, Cecelia Zaloski, Glenna Allen, Blanch Kwasniewski, Bernice Martin, Dorothy Bray, and Jean Prince. Kay Keating was the girls’ manager for this year. BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The League Season was not entirely successful this year, although some splendid games weer played. One game was lost to Bethel after a hard fight. This was one of five games played away from home. The team also lost to Danbury Trade School after a hard, overtime game. All other league games were won. The team showed fight, form and good training. Two of the best games of the year, which were not league games, were the decisive defeat of Seymour and Terryville. the latter being 1936 champions. In the Alumni Game both teams played excellent basketball, the school team finally defeating the Alumni. With the exception of Ring, Griffin and Leahey, the entire squad will play next year. The following players won letters for the 1936-37 season: Nichola, Grace, Brutz, Ring, McNiff, Dourland, Leahey, Duda, Griffin, Onorato, Tyskiewicz, Osborne (Captain), and McMahon (Manager).
