W. B. Girls Win Basketball Banner At the annual Suffolk County Girls' Athletic Association Play- day held at South Huntington, the basketball honor team won all its games and brought home West Babylon's first basketball banner. This banner is a symbol of vic- tory and is generally well-respected by all other girls' teams. lt repre- sents a season of hard work and achievement and deserves a place of honor in the W.B. gym. In beating South Huntington 25 -14, Northport 22-9, and North Babylon 15-10, two mem- bers of the team were chosen out- standing players - Janet Sheri- dan, who scored 31 points, and JoAnn Connor with 25 points.

Their determination and drive made West Babylon's hockey team a formidable opponent to all Challengers. This was evidenced by the scores of the intramural games, when the girls defeated Sachem 3-1 and Northport 2-1, and tied North Babylon 1-1. Janet Sheridan, the captain of the team, did a good part of the scor- ing. The girls fought even harder at the hockey playday to defeat Huntington and Northport. The last game against Copiague was close and resulted in a tie which ended the chance for the 1960 hockey banner. The team was coached exceptionally well by Mrs. Shelfo, and in many opinions was the finest team in Suffolk County.

When the words play your position are echoed in the girls, gym, itis fairly certain that volleyball season has begun. This year's intramural schedule was very heavy due to the fact that there were twelve teams 5 giving each team enough playing time was a difficult task. On the interscholastic level there were four teams, one for each class. The seniors, defeat of Copiague in November opened the way for a very fine season. Under the direction of Mrs. Fiorillo, the volleyball playday team made an excellent showing, losing only one of its games. Co-captains Janet Sheridan and Ronnie Maggio received awards for being the most outstanding players. Since the team was made up of several undercalssmen, West Babylon should soon be bringing home the SCGAA volleyball banner. 2 Having had a good season, the softball playdav team returned home most successful with the coveted SCGAA softball banner for 1960. Janet Sheridan, the teamfs captain, pitched tremendously, giving up only one hit in a series of three games. Janetas batting power was also felt by West Babylon's opponents, but it was teamwork that contributed most to the vic- tory. When the 1961 team is formed, it will have to work hard and long to protect West Babylon's softball championship. Certainly this team will show the skill, courage, and determination that all of the girls, teams have shown. This, along with the outstanding sports- manship and fair play evidenced by the girls, has helped to make West Babylon's teams feared and re- spected in league competition.
