Boys' Cross Country 1-9 1st row: Kaplan, R. Stanley, Fogg, Kheirkhah, Viola, Wolfe, Forauer, M. Brown, Berry. 2nd row: Coach Compton, J. Green, Kieger, Rarus, Benedict, Bergeron, Cahill Ccaptb, Barnard, McCrea, Wilson, Bryans, Aurichio, Grieb, Coach Glover. These are few experiences harder to take than a long losing season. But this long losing season had some bright spots. First of all, there was the courageous and good humored leadership of seniors Bill Cahill, Steve Ber- geron and Pete Barnard. Secondly, we never quit and we never gave up, we took the best we had into every race and did the best we could. The third bright spot grows directly out of the second. Next year we start the season with eight tough and experienced veterans who are hungry to win. And that's a tar cry from the way we started this season, with one really experienced and one slightly experienced run- ner. Those who ran up those long painful hills of this building year will remember each other with respect and admiration, for what- ever this team's record, its members: Captain Bill Cahill, Nlatt Grieb, Andy Rarus, Steve Ber- geron, Pete Barnard, Louis Aurichio, Bill Kieger and Brian Kaplan each won their own private races.

Boys Varsity Soccer 7-3-3 1st row Humphrey Giordano K Stone LeMay Aaron fco captb, J. Cook Cco-capt.J, W. Stone, H. Adib'Samii, Kalali Hutchinson 2nd row Coach Gooch C McCullagh Borowick, Brubacher, Davol, Krogh, Meyer, Linsley, J. lt looked dismal in the beginning, and even worse after the first four games, but then we all pulled together. Our season could not have been salvaged if it had not been for the continuous support of the entire team. When John Humphrey was injured, Dave Hutchin- son always filled in with outstanding clutch saves. The season was marked by several exciting games: against Deerfield, and especially against Loomis. A win over Loomis would give us a winning record. lt was a tough game, and, after trailing 1-O, the team pulled it out and won 2-1. Our final game against Hopkins was a 3-0 Suffield vic- tory, giving us the best Varsity Soccer record in four years. The co-captains want to say Thanks for putting up with us, but it was all worth it in the end.

Girls' Cross Country 2-5 1st row: Crabtree, Keney, Arnquist, Glass. 2nd row: Coach Compton, Harrop, Starr, Cummings, P. Pohanka, Coach Glover. For the first time at Suffield Academy, girls' cross country competed in a full schedule of meets against established prep schools. Under the coaching of Gordon Glo- ver and David Compton and the consistent running of Jennifer Starr, Nina Harrop, Trish Pohanka, Cheryl Glass and co-cap- tains Lisa Keney and Helen Arnquist, victo- ries were posted against Taft and Kings- wood. This year's team established its posi- tion as a highly competitive team for the future by competing in an invitational race hosted by Suffield in which nine teams com- peted, and by competing in the Girls' New England Championship held at Choate. Looking ahead to next year, returning run- ners Starr and Harrop should pace the team. This year the team showed a great deal of sportsmanship towards other teams and an extreme interest in the growing trend of girls' competitive running at Suf- field.
