1. V. BASKETBALL HE prospect for the year's junior Varsity Team looked very good. The boys had a winning spirit, and a considerable number of experienced players were returning. As a result, the team spent little time on the fundamentals. Under Coach Sherwoods careful direction. they developed a highly polished game. Both de- fensive and offensive teamwork were Strong. The team held its own in a strong league, but our Varsity came to consider it as stiff competi- tion in the daily scrimmages between the two teams. Throughout the season a few members of the V. squad participated in Varsity games, an invaluable experience for the coming season. Next year's Varsity can look forward to having some excellent material because of the V.'s display of great capability, advanced teamwork, and overflowing enthusiasm. MIDGET BASKETBALL HE freshmen boys all turned out to play on the Midget Team. Their enthusiasm was good, and under the skilled coaching of lim Davis and Dan Kilpatrick, the boys received fundamental training, which improved their skills markedly. They, the undaunted, fought even through sound drubbings and were always willing to work hard for the next game. The record of the team is not too impressive because of the size and experience of their opponents. not be- cause of any lack of spirit or teamwork. The drawback, lack of experience, decreased as the season progressed, and the team improved with practice. In the last few games, freshmen played on the V., giving them even more experience and practice for next year's V. Team, Firrl wir. lefl In righl-Alexander Hart. Captain Aaron Spaulding.

Track is made up not only of the usual running events, but also of the held events, high jump, discus, and shotput. The standing of Oakwoods track team has been steadily improving during the last few years. This is attributed for the most part to the increasing interest shown by the boys who have competed in various events. Although Oakwood is a small school, its teams have demonstrated outstanding ability, by winning two previous D. C. S. L. Championships. Oakwood's competition was composed chiefly of dual meets with Rhinebeck, Cardinal Farley, Arlington Varsity, and Wappingers. The two large meets in which Oakwood participated were the Hudson Valley Relays and the D. C. S. I.. Championship. TENNIS NTEREST in tennis at Oakwood has always been high, and it has never been confined to the Varsity Team. At almost any hour of the day the courts are occupied-by the beginner as well as the expert. The spirit is contagious, and even the faculty are susceptible. It is in such an atmosphere that the boys on the tennis team play. This year there was a new incentive-a league trophy toward which the Varsity aimed. Ed Gar- della, jon Flaccus, jim Davis, Roland Weissman, Dick Knapp, Steve Huber and Mark Sanford, all of whom were on the Varsity last year, and Jon Crum, made up the squad. In spring came our new coach, Larry Gardella, Ed's older brother. From his first meeting with the tennis team, he assured the boys that with enthusiasm, co-operation, and serious work, the team would be excellent.
