BASEBALL TEAM THE BASEBALL TEAM by Morton Teicher Aided by four veterans, a well-balanced sched- ule, and new material, this semester Coach Arthur Yanella has developed a nine that is truly repre- sentative of Townsend Harris. There were several important factors in the teams success, one of which was Seymour Balkin ' s fine work both as captain and as a player. The un- tiring efforts of Coach Yanella must also be noted. Most of the good play of the team, however, can be traced to the schedule. In all previous seasons, it was here that our chief trouble lay. The caliber of the schools usually encountered was so much above that of our squad, that the results were disastrous. This year, to avoid such a contingency, the schedule has been very carefully planned. The successful season this year, coupled with the fact that only three regulars graduate, tend to make future prospects very bright.

FENCING TEAM THE FENCING TEAM by Sanford Rogers Because of the abolition of P.S.A.L. fencing, the fencing teann this semester engaged only those schools that were considered fitting opponents by: Coach Montague and Captain Mitchell. Between terms, the trio representing Townsend ' Harris advanced to the quarter-finals in the Biddle Cup Tournament. Among those beaten was last year ' s winner, Clinton. When Flushing was faced in the third round, it seemed until the very end as if the Crimson and Gold were to triumph again, but a last minute rally on the part of the Long Islanders saved the match for them. At the beginning of the season there were only three men with any experience, and Coach Montague had before him the task of shap- ing a team out of poor material, but, as ever, he rounded out a worthy squad in time for active competition.

THE TENNIS TEAM by Theodore Schein When one wishes to cite the Harris team which does nnost to uphold the prestige of the school in athletics, he invariably points to the tennis team. It is heartening, after innumerable setbacks in other sports, to see a successful tennis team romp through its schedule scoring victory after victory. This semester, because of a new arrangement of the P.S.A.L. schedules, which provided for a di- vision of the league into several parts, the tennis team was given a greater opportunity than ever before to distinguish itself. In fact, at the beginning of the season the squad was favored to win the champion- ship of its division, and to date it has given no indication that it will fall short of its goal. The results attained by the team can be attributed mainly to the experience of the players. Captain Robert Siebertand Theodore Schein, stalwarts of last year ' s aggregation, again helped to turn the balance in favor of Harris. THE SWIMMING TEAM by Warren Kraemer Though it did not come out near the top in this season ' s P.S.A.L. championships, the Swimming Team is proud of its accomplishments. From an un-i organized squad of boys, who, for the most part, had never engaged in competition before. It be- came a well-trained, smoothly working unit. More than half of the team was made up of lower classmen who will be eligible for next season ' s squad. This means, of course, that they will have two or more years of the experience and training that is so essential to the team ' s success. As a result they will be much better fitted to meet the strong opposi- tion that other teams offer. In no small measure is the development of the team due to coach Jay Counsellor, who gave unstintingly of his time and knowledge. EIGHTY EIGHT
