We must also pool information, to observe the child in class, or to sit be on the lookout for indications of difficulties, such as down in joint detective work with the child. It is the rare child who is having difficulty and does not know it. The child's response to a suggestion or referral (properly presented as a joint effort to identify the dif- ficulty and find solutions to make school easier and more fun) is usually one of relief. This is particularly true when children discover that the psychologist's office has three yellow walls and an orange one, yellow chrysan- themums in a blue vase, a great deal of exploratory fun with no pass or fail, and a never-to-be broken rule of not quoting the child to anyone or showing his (as the youngster perceives it) "rotten" art work. This is not to suggest that the results are not fully shared with parents, and the child understands all this from the outset. The kinds of information a psychologist seeks through conversation, testing (will someone, please, help me find a word other than "testing" for no-pass, no-fail, no-lose devices? Shall we call them Murgatroyd or Trygve or Schmerdlap?) and through consultation with parents, teachers, advisors and administrators, are areas of intel- lectual strength and weakness, styles of learning, evi- dences of perceptual-motor difficulties, and a feeling of the kind of young person, with personal joys and con- cerns, in which these reside. irritability, distractability, preoccupation, ready fatigue, The techniques used have a strong advantage over poor fine-motor coordination, general clumsiness, tear- pencil and paper tests since one can see how a youngster fulness or stomach aches, for example, as opposed, per- reasons and reaches his conclusions, how he handles haps, to a child's normal cheerfulness in other settings. success and failure, and with how much resilience.

The Winter Scene- Boys1 Basketball—Best Season Ever Hockey Tournament—Championship for PDS Girls7 Basketball—Best and Building Volleyball—Big Winner, Tough League Girls' Ice Hockey—Undefeated in Second Season

The entire boys' basketball team lettered last year, and tournament was something else again. None of the seniors they proceeded to live up to their advance notices: Alan on the team — and they were legion: Capt. David Taback's talented team won just about all there was to O'Connor, assistant captains Bill Erdman and Steve win. Glittering season-long performances by Frank Kon- Judge, Rich Olsson, Jim Daubert, Jeb Burns, Tom Moore, stantynowicz, Bill Baggitt, Bill Martin, Randy Melville, Murray Wilmerding and Mark Blaxill—had ever played Chris Szuter and Mike Walters produced an 18-2 regular on a PDS team that won its own tournament crown. And, season and the third straight New Jersey "B" title. Along it was Harry Rulon-Miller's fortieth birthday! With those the way, the quintet took the Peddie and Hightstown incentives, the Panthers crushed Williston-Northampton Tournaments, beat Peddie twice, Hun twice, and also in the opening round and swept into the championship took the measure of St. Anthony's and Princeton High round thoroughly "psyched."

"Wait until next year" sounds more like a team at PDS: their opponents are almost all from major challenge, since all return. high schools and the competition is fierce. Coach Pam The varsity girls' ice hockey team tied its opener against Frothingham's almost all veteran squad, led by Captain Stuart, but they won all the rest, no doubt the result of Sandy Shaw, played .500 ball for the season, and got their very attractive practice time: 7 a.m. Coach Aubrey splendid performances thoroughoiit from Barbie Russell Huston's skaters stalemated Stuart 1-1 before a largely (carrying on a family athletic tradition) and Kathy Lawrence ville crowd, but came back quickly to beatlheir Kehoe and Becky Hafitz.

Coach Tom DeVito points to three one-run losses when he says the team could be seven and three right now. They lost to Rutgers Prep and to Pennington in identical 3-2 seventh inning losses, and dropped a 1-0 encounter to Pingry—the winning run also coming in the final stanza. Dave Barondess hurled a neat three-hitter at Blair Academy, but lost a 3-0 game The Spring Scene on three errors by his teammates. The Panthers have Boys' Lacrosse—Should Repeat State Title left too many men on base, says DeVito: the hitting Girls' Lacrosse—6-1 -0 at Midseason hasn't been up to the pitching.

They came close in the next two, but couldn't Girls' Tennis-Very Well, Thank You! quite do it, losing 18-19 to Pennington and 19-23 to North Burlington. Gwen Hamel's homer with two on brought the girls to within one run of Princeton High, but one run made the difference in another tight loss, 13-14. The team bounced back with a 26-7 trouncing of Dwight Englewood, 2-6 with only two games to go. Captains Lee Hale and Jennifer Walsh lead the team. Standouts, according to Coach Jane Grigger, are Phyllis Gore, catcher, Becky Hafitz as pitcher, and baserunners Beth- lin Thompson and Clooie Sherman. Up and coming

The boys* varsity lacrosse team, loaded with lettermen and a couple of bright new additions, is 8-2 with three games to go: they're undefeated in the B league, and look like odds-on favorites to repeat the crown. Best win of the season so far was the 8-7 victoiy over Pingry, and Bob Krueger, in his first year as coach of PDS, played for and coached at Pingry. The attack boasts both high scorers. Doc O'Connor for goals and most- improved Mark Zawadsky for assists. Pete Buck, a returnee from St. Marks, rounds out the attack. Middie strength is balanced between two midfields, a first or Bill Erdman, Tom Moore and Steve Judge (now in- jured and replaced by Tim Brush), and a second of Rob Olsson, Jim Daubert and newcomer John Harold- son. The defense of John Segal, Chris Jensen and Jay Trubee fronts for goal tender Rick Olsson. Girls' lacrosse, fleet of foot and talented throughout, has some great victories to savor so far. Their meeting with Princeton High School was touted as a tilt between two of the state's best, and the lady Panthers scored a happy 10-7 win. They took Taft and Choate-Rosemaiy in one weekend, and have also defeated Stuart, George and Morristown. Lone defeat came at the hands of Germantown Academy, fresh from a two-week tour of England. Captain Anne Wittke is outstanding, as are high-scorer Michelle Plante and Barbie Russell. Be it duly noted here that with three weeks to go, the jayvees, thirds and seventh grade teams are all undefeated. Baseball's best are Dave Barondess, Mike Walter, Mark Blaxill and Frank Konstantynowicz—the first three spend a lot of time pitching. The nine is 4-6 to date,

14 players are pitcher Debbie Ford, second baseperson Sue Fineman and catcher Christy Black. Boys' varsity tennis is 3-6 with only a few matches to play. Among their losses were matches with Princeton High School and Pingry, but the three big wins were over Rutgers Prep, Montclair-Kimberley and Wardlaw. First singles Keith Usiskin is, in the words of Coach Lester Tibballs, in a class by himself, and Simeon Hut- ner is improving fast. Ken Cain, too, has improved mightily throughout the season. "Very well, thank you," is Coach Jan Baker's answer to how the girls' tennis team is doing. The season record is 6-2, and PDSers captured both the girls' singles and doubles crowns at the Mercer County Tournament as well. First singles Jill Migliori trounced Vera Jesser of PHS 6-1, 6-2, and Captain Susie Pratt and Melanie Thompson beat a PHS team of Rose and Jaffin 6-4, 7-5 for the doubles title. Earlier in the season, Jill led the team to a 3-2 upset of Hun by beating Pennsylvania's third ranked girls' player, Debbie Rentschler, 7-5, 6-4. The other major upset was a 3-2 win over PHS. Other victories were over Pingrey, Hopewell Valley, Moores- town Friends and George School. Toughest loss of the year a 4-5 defeat in a last-match tie-breaker to Choate- Rosemary.
