,c K, I T But individuals were not the only ones to gain recognition. Athletic teams cooperated in bringing the name of Port Richmond High School to the fore and keeping it there. ln athletics, titles have been won in basketball, golf and bowling. For the two court seasons H937-38 and i938-39l Minstrel basketball teams have had the divisional championship flag of the P. S. A. L. hoisted high on the Port Richmond halyard. Warren Fenley, Joe Reno, Tom Smillie, Tom de la Pena, and .lack Barbour were some of the members of the varsity teams lsland diadems of varied sorts have adorned the collective brows of this school s bowling teams ever since a local high school league was launched amid strikes and spares and pop bottles ifor drinking not throwing purposesl two years ago And in the spring of 38 the golfers those gents who drive a hooked club at a small white ball with such seriousness and dexterity achieved fame swinging their way from the lsland championship on to the higher sounding and more pretentious title of Champions of the City of New York An interscholastic sport was revived in New York City two years ago after a brief layoff and Port Richmond chipped in with its contributory fenc ing squad ln the i939 campaign the sextet finished on the fringes of the equator of Group l in the P S A L The soccer team continued to fight against the unequal odds of lack of consistent practice and lack of a field which they could honestly call their own and with this handicap taken into consideration the booters more than held their own especially against lsland rivals Although it is not customary to pay as much recognition to girls athletics as to boys we must here tip our hats to the Girls Health Educa tion Department and to the chairman Miss Dorothy Zirbes ln i936 the girls won the L Edgerton Winthrop Trophy for the fifth consecutive year and continued to win it in the following years for having the greatest membership in girls athletic clubs in proportion to the total enrollment of girls in the school Yes the voyage is over The passengers disperse to their homes lt is hail and farewell We are leaving and only fond memories remain Just as our heroes and their achievements have succeeded those of the preceding classes so will ours be replaced by those of the younger genera tion of incoming freshmen But to us the best will always be our own From wave to wave the world has but one tale to tell Save this one cry of Farewell 2:51 1. 5- AES A Zidfffvln ' ' I ll ll ' ' 1 I I - I . . . . . .
