Marge Cerveniski-Treadwell
(Basketball, 1960)
Girls’ high
school athletics pre-Title IX was limited in the late 1950’s to
basketball, field hockey and cheerleading. It was in just such an
environment that Marge Treadwell made her mark as one of the finest all
around athletes in Danbury High School history. At DHS she played
basketball and led the team in scoring during the 1959-1960 season. She
was also a cheerleader for the Hatters. There was no high school
softball so Marge played for the industrial league team, the Barden
Royals, where she was consistently one of Barden’s finest players. Marge
was also an avid skier and downhill racer who spent time as a ski
instructor at Brodie Mountain and Mad River Glen. Up until this point in
the introduction, Marge’s background is a good, solid athletic career
but it was her accomplishments on the bowling lanes where Marge truly
achieved Hall of Fame caliber status. On the lanes Marge has proven to
be one of the top woman bowlers in the greater Danbury area as well as
the state of Connecticut. She was a two-time Champion in Connecticut’s
Women’s Senior Tournament. She also placed nationally, finishing 13th
and 7th in the National Seniors’ Tournament. Her accomplishments as a
bowler earned her induction to the Greater Danbury Women’s Bowling
Association Hall of Fame and the combination of her athletic
achievements earned Marge recognition by the Old Timer’s Association.
For 45 years she worked in the Connecticut court system as a clerk of
the Danbury Probate Court.
