The quiet player on this year’s Varsity Field Hockey Team, would have to be Masako Shima- mura. Although quiet she was very aggressive. She always seemed to appear at the right place at the right time to set up good defensive plays. "Masako has played left full back on the team for the past two years, and has done a masterful job of it, according to Coach Kern. For all of her hard work this year, Masako was awarded the Out­ standing Defensive Player trophy.
A four year veteran of the Varsity Field Hockey team is Karen Robinson. She not only has been a good defensive player for all of those years but has added a lot of laughter to the team. She will always be remembered as one of its characters. For the past two years Karen has played Center Middle so well that she has made the All State Team in the B division of the Independent Schools both years. To quote Coach Donna Kern, "Karen was a really tough defensive player.”
Although this is Ellen Bart’s first year on Varsi­ ty Field Hockey, she has done a tremendous job as goalie. With 5 shut out games this season, she also stopped 3 penalty strokes during the second
sround of the state tournament. A very dedicated player, she never missed a pre-season practice and was a regular at the season practices. For her dedication and hard work this year she received the Coach’s Award, and Coach Kern’s citation "Ellen has done a fine job this year.”
