C X, JV BASKETBALL First row left to right Howard Bullett Jay Halsband Henry Greenberg James Davis Second row Joel Goldstein Jonathan Flaccus Daniel Kilpatrick Man ager Richard Schwartz Jonathan Panken .I V Basketball ll OY the J V game was good' This and many slmllar comments were frequently overheard after our games The J V record of wins and losses cannot truly Indicate the enthusiasm and work that have progressively strengthened and unified our team Despite the yielding of several starters to the Varsity at mid season, the J. V. continued to fight with never-ending determination. Under the able guidance of Mr, B. we have played such impressive opponents as Millbrook, Red Hook, Pine Plains, and Greer. The support of the stu- dent body increased as it caught up the J. V.'s spirit. The season was successful in many ways which overshadow the statistics. Although our record did not produce startling results, we have high hopes that this year's J, V. will produce next year's victorious Varsity. NW td mam MIDGET BASKETBALL First row left to right Dan Stem brocker Peter Marston Michael Metcalf Victor Rubenstein Alan Hewitt Second row Leonard Klein Peter Buttle Robert Moore Manager John Headley Coach Wrlllam Ross Norman Paulsen Midget Basketball T the beginning of the basketball season twelve freshmen reported to try out for the Midgets Many who had never played before developed skull and co ordination under the able direction of Coaches John Headly and Bob Moore The first string consisted of tive of Oakwood s potential basketball stars. Co-captain Pete Bit- tle's high score averaged twelve points a game, while co-captain Lenny Klein gave strong evi- dence of an outstanding hand shot. Norm Paul- son, the boy behind the terrific set shot, av- eraged seven points a game. Center Bill Ross, the pivot, used his size to best advantage in his rebounding. Pete Marston, although our smallest man, was second high scorer, averaging nine points a game. These Varsity and Junior Varsity boys of the future chalked up the creditable record of six wins and three losses. s9 '0a uma '00, gcuuox. Sunni' 'lieu W4
