SPORTS
The formerly triumphant Greens again overwhelmed the Whites with energy and enthusiasm in games, but ?70t on the sidelines. In the hockey game, the Whites stood up fairly well; the Greens won by only 4 points, 4 to 0; but the basketball game was a massacre. The three varsity forwards, Mary Dernier, Barbara Weigel, and Barbara Browne, moved gleefully into line for the Greens and rolled up a score of 39 to 8 against the courageous Whites.
The Faculty-Varsity hockey game is not to be ignored. The teach ers turned out en masse, having politely stolen all goalie equipment as well as extra sticks, sneakers, shinguards, training pants, and sweat shirts. Our valiant goalie, Joan Williams, faced the onrushing teach ers bare-legged, and beat them off successfully. Despite the teachers’ advantage and futile scrambling on the muddy field, the invincible Hartridge Varsity tore through their defense and made 2 goals to the teachers' 0. W e proudly point out that we were obliged to get past their two goalies instead of the usual one, as the teachers declined to play
according to rules.
On December 9 came the Hockey Banquet, at the end of a thor oughly enjoyable hockey season, various mothers orated proudly about Hartridge and Red Cross (ask a certain blond senior), while cor responding daughters blushed modestly and, under their breaths, hissed "Sit down!” Impromptu speeches proved an embarrassment for certain victims, but caused much glee among others. The I’s sang the follow
ing song to the tune of "I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire”;
Hartridge teams will set the world on fire,
And each for herself will make a good name.
Our girls soon the world will all admire Because they know how to play a good game.
With Weigel and Elmer and Rausch and with Dernier Hartridge girls will always lead the way
With our Joany Williams, who stops them by millions.
No other team will ever reach that goal while she’s there.
