from The Quill, Vol. 3, No. 2, December 1961:
Varsity Football 6-2 for '61
    This year the varsity football team carved out a 6-2 record. They won six straight games and only had 25 points scored against them, but late-season injuries had their effect and they dropped the last two.
    The team was developed to work as a single unit, even though a few players put forth an outstanding performance. Some of them were: Jim Corey who developed fast after taking over Dale Caughey's position and did a fine job of quarterbacking the team; backs Ed Miner, Mike O'Loughlin, and Don Link ground out much of CV's yardage. Miner, until he was injured during the S.V. game was the leading scorer in the Triple- Cities. Other notables are guard "Beef" Warner, Mike Carnese, and ends Mike Ryan and Bill Connelly. Although hopeful Kevin Slocum saw little action due to injuries, he helped keep the team spirit high.
    Head Coach, Mike Durbin, assisted by Frank Kaminsky not only developed a strong offense but a tight defense. This was Mr. Kaminsky's first year of coaching, but he did a fine job of building up the defense and sparking the team. Managers Dave Lord, Lanny Parsons, and Doug Stanton did a fine job of aiding the coaches.

We Look Behind the Scenes
    This year our football team finished with a very good record. Without the help of other people they might not have even played any games. Such people are the team managers Lanny Parsons, Doug Stanton, and Dave Lord. Although they don't manage the team as such, they help in many other ways.
    Their work starts very early in the football season when they bring the equipment and uniforms from storage and take inventory. Then they pass out the uniforms to Varsity and Junior Varsity teams.
    Three days before a home game they line the field. This is not without incident, especially when it snows. At the games they tape ankles and knees, provide oranges and lemon drops, and the wet towel when mud is on someone's face. At the games, Dave Lord is statistician, keeping a paper copy of what players played and how long and who did what. Because this is sometimes incorporated into the newspaper and is important for those who want to win a letter. After games the managers pick up the equipment and follow the team home.
    Another unknown is Mr. Benza whose help was sorely needed at times as a morale booster.
    Their attitude toward this unmentioned unknown and soon forgotten work? "Sure it's work, but it's fun!"
Cross Country Team Has Successful Year
    This year Coach Bob McDaniels has again had a an outstanding cross country squad. The coach credits this to the addition of such fine runners as Bob Brown, Marshall Bradley, and Harold Jones to the squad and to excellent returneess including Bob Lalley, Larry Hayes, Wes Brownlow, and Gary Campbell.
    This year's team placed first in the Fulton and Vestal Invitationals, and the Section Four Sectionals at Cornell. The team was sparked with the great running of Bobl Lalley, who took first place in several meets and broke the IBM course record previously held by Dick Lampman. In the state sectionals, at New York, Lalley finished 4th in a large field of runners and the team took second place.
Strikes and Misses
aa........h! A STRIKE!
    For the past three years, on Thursday nights, this sound has been coming from the Town and Country Bowling Lanes where the C.V. girls' Intramural League has been bowling.
    Under the supervision of Miss Toggnola, about 55 girls in grades 10-12, bowl in this sanctioned league. The girls belong to the American Junior Bowling Congress. After bowling 14 weeks, each girl on the winning team received an emblem.
    Captains of the teams are Carol Griffin, Paula Foland, Joan Matts, Sue Howard, Mary Ann Totman, Diane Wood, Nancy Maquire, Debbie Banford, and Joy Shurtlaff.
Matmen Ready for New Season
    In its fourth year, the C.V. wrestling squad has possibilities of developing into a very strong team, with the return of seven lettermen. The large turnout brought on the addition of a J.V. coach, Mr. Pendell, who will assist the regular varsity coach, Mr. Harvey.
    The returning lettermen include Bob Lalley 112 lb. class (third in sectionals), Doug Hall, 120 (a quarterfinalist), John Boland 127, Bill Dowling 137, Bill Lawrence 145, Don Link 154, and Guy "Beef" Warner at heavyweight.
    Some new possible varsity members are: Jim Eggleston 95, Art Warner 103, Larry Brooks 133, Rick Gamble 165, and Gerry Dowling 180.
    With these possibilities let's have a large turnout and back the squad at the matches.
