Girls Sports This year the G.A.A. and Miss Foehrenbach suc- ceeded in bringing back some of that old-fashioned SCHOOL SPIRIT which had been lacking lately. This SCHOOL SPIRIT made the 1949-50 turnouts the largest ever. This fall the hockey team had an undefeated sea- son, except for the loss of their last game. Seniors Brandon, Schneelock, Wallace, Costello, Belanich, Neumann, Peterson, Robertson, Tramutolo, Cordera, Vanderwall, and D'Agostino were the strong offen- sive and defensive players. The Riding Club ended its season with a horse show, while in Volleyball an all-star Team was picked which won an exciting and packed game, from the Faculty. The basketball season started off with victories over Hicksville, Friends Academy and others. Schnee- lock, Brandon, Peterson and Belanich were the out- standing forwards, while Wallace, Wing and Costello led the guards. The Modem Dancers presented Casey at the Bat” and The Circus” at their annual demonstration. Preftakis, Waddell, Schneelock, Parker and Swift were outstanding. March 31 was Blue and White Sports Night. The Blue Captains, Brandon and Belanich led the Blues in The Dogpatch County Fair.” The White Captains, Costello and Miller, led the Whites in the Ice Follies. The spring sports, ping pong, badminton, tennis, archery and softball ended the sports of the year. The last sports event of the year was the G.A.A. Banquet, at which awards were given. Costello, Wal- lace, Schneelock and Belanich were named athletes of the year. BARBARA BELANICH VARSITY HOCKEY J. V. HOCKEY VARSITY BASKETBALL J. V. BASKETBALL

JUNIOR GIRLS the class of '51 Two wonderful years of hard work and plenty of fun—years that most of us will never forget. Guided by an excellent panel of officers—John Wing, president; Gerald Volpe, vice-president; Betty Nicholson, secretary; and Eric Jude, Treasurer; and the Herculean efforts of Mr. Kezar, our faculty advisor, we had a very successful year. Early in October these officers and a special com- mittee of homeroom representatives chose our beautiful class rings. We contributed such stars as Norman DeLan, Vincent Caruso, Gerald Volpe, Victor White and Charlie Zahn to the football varsity, and at least ten other players to the J. V. In basketball, A1 Dumpson, Stanley Cutler, Dwight Otis, James McNamara, John Wing and Victor White set the pace on the varsity, while Bob Eckhardt (captain), Bob Micklin, Eric Jude, John Dumbkowski, and Eric Gabrielson kept things moving on the J. V. This year's peppy cheerleaders were all Juniors. Captain Betty Nicholson, Nancy Nern, Jane McCormick, Nancy Lantz, Marjory Peterson, Margo Preston, Karin Sandbloom, and Carol Need- ham cheered the team on to a very successful season with such snappy cheers as Two Bits. For the first time in seven years the Juniors triumphed in the Inter-Class Plays. But why shouldn't we? Aren't Joan Lamble, Claire Munson, Joe Greco, and Sally Brown among the best? The judges thought so. Not satisfied with this, we went right ahead and captured several parts in Dear Ruth, a Red Domino production. Wasn't Joan Lamble a perfect Miriam? Carol Need- ham a terrific maid? Carol Dunnells an ideal mother? And Mike McGrady an excellent lieu- tenant? We think so. Neither was the class of '51 lacking in school spirit. Betty Nicholson kept the minutes of the G. O. meetings and took care of the correspondence while James McNamara kept the records 22
