The 1957 girls' field hockey team completed another successful year with a record of five wins and two ties. This leaves them undefeated for three con- secutive seasons. The hardest game of the year was against Weston, also undefeated for three seasons, whom Walpole had never played before. The girls fought hard and came through with a one to one tie. Captain this year was Jackie Luippold, who did a terrific iob as goalie. Ellen Powers and Barbara Waseleski, a fighting pair of fullbacks, aided by the halfbacks Sandy Lans, Vivian Yeiser, and Sandy Maclvor, did a wonderful iob as the defense. Polly Kelley, Ruth Sullivan, Pat Hogan, Kitsy Hill, Marilyn Bowden, and Kiki DiScuillo were the attacking forwards on the first team. Anita Phillipps and Joann Rowe stepped in as substitutes in several games. The second team, composed mostly of underclassmen, had almost as successful a season with only two losses. The sincerest thanks of all the girls goes to Miss MacBride, who has been a wonderful coach. The annual banquet was held at the Lord Fox. Awards were presented to the Most Valuable Player, Jackie Luippold, and the Most Improved Player, Carol O'Day, Congratulations, girls!
