Varsity Field Hockey 3-7-1 1st row: Shaffer, Rockwell, Sheehan, Bogle, Fogg. 2nd row: Gondarowski, Hayden, Coach Fraser, McDaniel, Dee. 3rd row: Heffernan, Stewart, Longo, Brown, H. Smith. The field hockey team had a disappointing season this year. Many games were rained out, we could only really play on the fields the first two weeks of school. Parents' Day was an exciting game, winning over Williston 5-1, Another victory took place with 18 sec- onds left. Lisa Longo put in the winning goal over Pom- fret. Much improvement in Donna Hayden's game. . . The culmination of the season came against Mac- Duffie in a very exciting game which ended in a tie due to darkness. For most of the games, the offense and defense couIdn't get it together. A special thanks to Sue Shafroth, our dedicated manager. Best of luck to the underclassmen next year, under the coaching of Gail Fraser, and thank you for a fun season! bf.w55P4f3 ,J

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.

Girls' Varsity Soccer 4-8-1 1st row: Mackey, L. McCullagh, Gore fcapt.J, Gallup fcaptj, Samuelson, Workman. 2nd row: J. Lewis, Napolitano, McCormack, Kennedy, Dustin, Rogers, Salius. 3rd row: Coach Downes, Magauran, Tucker, Buice, Drummond, K. Adib-Samii. The girls' varsity soccer team was built largely on character and spirit, which developed greatly from our new coach, T. Stephen Downes sir, There were no really outstanding indi- vidual players, so the entire squad had to work as a team to improve and develop skills in order to have a successful sea- son, although early injuries hurt us physically and morally. We lost our first game against Ethel Walker due to a lack of experienced players, but Coach Downes pulled the team together and we were able to defeat a strong Hotchkiss team 1-O, and Wilbraham!Monson 5-O. The team was discouraged by a strong, overly aggressive Kings- wood team, resulting in a 2-O loss. We won two of the next six games. In the re-match with Ethel Walker, the team showed much improvement and its ever- present spirit, losing by only one goal. Due to the disappointing loss to Ethel Walker, Suffield could not quite pull itself together to play at its full poten- tial against Agawam and Wilbra- hamfllllonson. Hopefully, a bet- ter season is in line for next year, because the team is losing only four starters. Thanks to Coach Downes for his continuous sup- port and understanding. And we cannot forget our great man- ager, Cindy Workman. Where is the water, Cindy? Thanks and good luck! . 11 1 127 C Y .,g..t'
