Challenged their Classmates Cheers of excitement and shouts of encouragement were heard echoing throughout the gym as the Athletic Club mem- bers challenged their classmates in competitive games. ln the tense moments ofa close scoring game, whether it was vol- leyball, basketball, baseball, or field hockey, the character of the true sportsman was manifested. When victory was evident, the team members felt that pride of achievement-achievement through teamwork. When defeat was inevitable, the losing team was determined to give its op- ponents a good fight. Archery and tennis offered to the true sports enthusiast a chance of individual merit and accomplishment through a display of accuracy and skill. I wonder it Robin Hood began his career this way? is the thought that could be coursing through the minds of Senior Judith Pfaff, Sophomore Kathleen Choin- ski, and Junior Mary Ellen Palmisano. Pull back the string to your chin, ex- plains Coach louise Burdick as she in- structs her pupils on the correct arching methods. From left to right are Patricia Schoofs, Sharon Gorzalski, Barbara Sipi- ora, and Sharon Diekow.

Field hockey goalees guarded their goals in an attempt to prevent the offense from scor- ing, while their teammates tried to get possession of the ball. The baseball and field hockey tourna- ments enabled the girls to engage in the group participation needed to enrich their personalities. These outdoor contests were also a great aid to the physical develop- ment of the sportsminded St. Maryan.
