TRACK Last year track received a very cool welcome. Since the squad was so small in number, they did not have a good season. But this year, with an increased -squad, a suc- cessful year is expected. CROSS COUNTRY The 1950 Cross Country team won its first meet in many a moon, and also made a very good showing in others. All members of the team contributed to the improving season. Since all but four of the members were underclassmen, next year’s team looks very promising. 22

 FOOTBALL The Green and Gold surprised the county by capturing the Class “B” championship of the North Shore. The team deserved the championship with five wins, one tie, and only one loss. Westbury started off by defeating Poughkeepsie and Farming- dale and upsetting Valley Stream. The mid-season was marked by handing a defeat to a dangerous Port Washington team. Hicksville missed ruining our perfect record by failing to con- vert an extra point. An underdog. Oyster Bay, came from behind to tie us 20-20. Our last game was the only defeat of the season, despite the fact that it was by far our very best played game. We arc sure the Freeport team felt very fortunate in taking a 7-6 win. Nick Albanese, our All-Scholastic man. was elected the most Valuable Player to Westbury and co-captain, along with Frank Cross. 21

GOLF Though a golf team has been representing West- bury for many years, it has received very little recognition from the student body. However, this year, because of a larger squad, success may be due. BOWLING The bowling team had quite a successful year in 1951. With many young recruits and a continued interest, a successful year in 1952 may be expected.
