The previous page explored school spirit and team sports. Now we look at a few athletic idiosyncracies. Girls' varsity soccer has a strange tradition: they keep a huge log--painted green and sporting players' signatures--on the field with them. It rests on saw horses. Sometimes they pick it up and do conditioning drills lugging it around the field.

JV boys' soccer--which has run off a string of consecutive victories--is a team that has a lot of fun together. Pete Southworth's in charge...

Janet Linn and Rick Browner coach a co-ed, developmental tennis program in the fall. Today they organized the fourth annual faculty/student tennis tournament.

Alex shows off his two-handed backhand with doubles partner Sarah Will in the background.

The catboat Red Lion that the school maintains and enjoys on Lake Sunapee has sprung a leak. To raise funds for repair to the centerboard trunk, Eric Viandier's class sang French songs at the entrance to the dining room at lunch.
