HE soccer season was some- what disappointing this year, in that it was not up to the usual Oakwood standard. The Asian flu epidemic cut last years season short, producing a scarcity of experienced players, which left us with a poor foundation for this year. The high- light of our season was beating Roosevelt twice, 12-7 and 2-0. We dropped two close games to Wap- pingers, 1-0 and fl-2, and two to .A l Rhinebecli, 6-2 and 10-4, Despite the fact that the season as a whole was not what we had expected, we did have four boys on the Dutchess County Scholastic League all-star team: Pete Bittle, Bob Cannella, Gyula Etter, and Ed Gardella. We hope that this year's team, under Fran l-lendersonls able coaching, will provide 11 strong foundation for a good season next year. imma N . J I K l ,,.f',,..1 W 4 -3 . it A 74- fp w'

Anita, Cathy, Jean and Sally showed unusual ability in the early days of practice, and it was not long before we began to feel coordinated as a group. Soon we were cheering in the mud at Mill- brook, being tackled at St. Peter's and suffering knee injuries-all the while backing our teams with the needed enthusiasm of the crowd. 5 Knee injuries having become oppressive, saw the need for an addition. Dorsie and Pe joined us. At this time, a change in schedu - abled cheerleaders to participate in winter spo . It is our hope that this program can be extended to include the fall sports. We hope more girls will go out for cheerleading as a result. Although we had less time for practices, we added many new cheers, thus completing a suc- cessful year. , 5

Seven games were played, of which Oakwood won three. We lost to Millbrook's powerful offense on their snow-swept field, and to Greer and Red Hook in home games. The big Alumni Day crowd saw us beat Dover Plains FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Millbrook Away Greer Home Red Hook Home Dover Plains Home Haldane Away St. Peters Away Pawling Home 55 -1 55 - 6 - 7 -28 - 0 23-6. a week later we also took Haldane. St. Peter's succeeded in overpowering us though we played a hard game. We ended the season by edging Pawling in an exciting game, and tied for third place in the league. Next year's team, led by Captain- elect, Ed Hershberger, should be a good one. Our Co-captains, Al Hart and Pete Laqueur, and the other senior players wish the 1959 team very good luck.
