ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES The Athletic Council, representing the Athletic Association, guides the athletic activities of the College. This year an increased student body en- abled the Council to plan, once again, a full program. The Council, under the guidance of Prof. Gorton, has sponsored, not only athletic competition and sport parties, but also the student mutual benefit fund. Through this, students are reimbursed for expenses incurred through accidents. The offi- cers are: Annette Petrillo, president; Carmine Giordano, vice-president; Peggy Pons, secretary; and Horace Roden, treasurer. Women ' s sports have maintained their leading position in the extra- curricular program. The extent of competition in hockey this year was somewhat limited. Under the direction of Mrs. Beach, the Club had prac- tice games with some of their neighboring schools, such as Clifford Scott, Bloomfield, and Hillside. The women ' s basketball team is able to boast of a successful schedule of games. The team showed real skill in competition and won a satisfactory percentage of games. Games were played with Rider, Immaculate, New York University, East Stroudsburg, and Hunter College. Muriel Armistead was captain; Irma Sempier, manager; and Mrs. Beach, coach. The Fencing Club, coached by Mrs. Helen Davis and managed by Rita Ferguson, established a challenging schedule. Matches were played with teams from New York University, State Teachers College, Jersey City and the Intercollegiate Tournament. The cheerleaders this year were all women. Claire Meyers, Virginia Cemarada, Rita Ferguson and Selma Neuman in white coulottes, maroon sweaters and caps stirred the spirits of the team and audience with their dramatic cheers and stunts. Y-E-A P-A-N-Z-E-R ! In the case of men ' s athletics many changes occurred. With the end of the war and the increase in the enrollment of men, Panzer had its first varsity schedule in soccer since 1942. Last year the men played two games with colleges and had a few practice games with local high schools. Al- though they achieved no victories, they did gain valuable experience from these contests. This year these men, with the addition of several freshmen, had a successful season under the able guidance of Prof. Gorton. After winning a few high school scrimmages, the men defeated Trenton State Teachers College, 3-1, for their first victory. This was followed by two more successes against East Stroudsburg Teachers College, 1-0 and 3-1, respectively. The highlight of the season was the game with Navy at Annapolis, which concluded the season ' s schedule. Although losing, 3-0, the squad achieved a moral victory, when it is considered that Navy was the intercollegiate champion of 1944 and that it was undefeated this year. The majority of the squad members will return next year when a full peace- time schedule is being arranged. Those graduating are Captain Renard Rossi, left fullback; Bill Hafer, center forward; and Horace Roden, utility linesman. Fencing became popular again this year. Pellegrino Ringi, former Pan- zer champion with foil and saber, coached the team. The team was com- 26
