Sports Activities Bataan, Corregidor, Guam, Iwo Jima, yes, this is war! We at Panzer know this fact only too well. It is impressed upo n us daily when alumni and former students now in service return to the college for a visit, as they so often do. Our students in service are doing their part and doing it well. Many are teaching others how to fight; many are fighting the enemy; and others have fought their fight to a finish. This is the Panzer spirit, the spirit which still predominates despite the many changes in college life brought about by the war. The student enrollment may have decreased but the spirit is there and so is the program of sports for both men and women. We, the students of today, have the spirit to carry on under difficulty, and so will all future students as long as there is an institution such as Panzer. The fall of this year was devoted to soccer for the men and field hockey for the women. The men ' s team consisted mainly of freshmen and sopho- mores, but what they lacked in experience they made up for in skill. The women ' s hockey team, on the other hand, consisted mainly of seniors with some representation from the sophomore and junior classes. The women engaged in a number of playdays and outplayed all opposition. All too soon, though, the cold weather brought our outdoor activities to a close. Fencing foils were uncovered and dusted, basketballs were inflated, parallel bars were shakily mounted, and we were off to a grand start with soccer and hockey only pleasant memories. En garde, step back, fence! Yes, our fencing team had started their season. With the inter-collegiate meet as their ultimate goal, the team had meets with various Eastern colleges. Jersey City State Teachers, Brooklyn, Hunter, Newark State Teachers, St. Elizabeths, and New York University all engaged in friendly battle with our excellent women fencers. Meanwhile the folk and modern dance groups had commenced their meetings and were preparmg for various recitals. On December 15th at the Christmas Festival, groups proved that their long hours of practice were not in vain, for their performances will long be remembered. The folk dance group has also given performances for the Servicemen ' s Social Center, for women ' s clubs and in various schools in Northern New Jersey. On Monday evenings the gymnastic group practices under the skillful teaching of Miss Helen Schifano and James Dow. This activity met with high enthusiasm this year. With the increased enrollment of men in February, a larger number of men attended the meetings. The women, who had a year ' s start, continued to learn new activities with even greater enjoyment and skill. Yes, we are at war, our enrollment has decreased, many sacrifices are being made, but Panzer ' s activities and traditions continue.
