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.

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'

HE 1958-59 basketball season was an enjoyable one, if not successful in terms of victories. The team's record of seven and twelve was the best compiled by an Oak- wood basketball team in the last four years. The most outstanding games of the season were the two games with Staatsburg, the first won in over- time, 43-40, and the second lost in BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Staatsburg Staatsburg Alumni St. Peter's 43-40 46-50 49-42 33-32 overtime, 46-50, and the come- from-behind, 33-32 victory over otherwise unbeaten St. Peter's. Although nine of the ten team members are graduating this year, we have great hopes that john Cen- ter will lead next year's team to a successful season, we know that the J. V. team will provide experi- enced players. .... - .nw --rttr
