Alumnae S Alumni Games
v fc
On a blustery windy day in the middle of Thanksgiving
vacation, several W-H alumnae returned to Inman Avenue to
challenge the few 1982 field hockey players who did not
travel away for the break. Since the three faithfully attending
alumnae - Susan Stout '79, Tami Solondz '82, and Caroline
Pittis '82 - were outnumbered by homebody hockey players,
anyone was welcome to play against the high schoolers. Not
only did alumnus Rob Stout take up his stick for sister Sue,
but so did soccer coach Mr. Freeman. Several seniors who
were persuaded to turn traitor to their season-long teammates
rounded out the'alumnae” contingent. Order was
maintained by Referee Mrs. Wilson, if order was the word for
the melee of joking and stick-swinging that did add a convivial
warmth to the chilly day. Afterwards, doughnuts and hot
chocolate were served while everyone caught up with each
others’ lives and reminisced about good times shared in the
past. Altogether, the event fulfilled its purpose as a cheerful
annual get-together.
The Alumni soccer team fared far better against the soccer
team. Although the current squad was bolstered by Carlos
Castro and various coaches they went down in spirited
but crushing defeat. Nonetheless good spirits were shared by
all.
