GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM The girls' basketball squad with co-captains Judy Warner and Pearl Brown and the able coaching of Mrs. Doud, had a fairly successful season in l955. The games that were lost were hard-fought ones, lost only by a small margin. Seniors Janet Millar, Mary Ann Nagy, Mary Butler, Judy Warner, and Pearl Brown represented their class on the varsity team. Managers as well as team members were always on hand to give the encouraging word, The girls started the season with the Mount Pleasant game, losing 47 to 49, then Friends AO-116. The two following games were victories over Claymont, 27 to 22 and Conrad, 45 to 34. Two more losses completed the p'cture up to the time the Alexis goes to press, but the team is confident of finishing the season with a winning streak.

Without a doubt, win or lose, the team has been fighting together. As of the middle of February, Jay Strausbaugh, captain of the team, admitted only five wins against seven losses. However, he hoped that the second half of the season would prove a more victorious one. This has been the last season for six seniors, Jay Strausbaugh, Jack Holloway, Bud Britton, Richard North, Jim Gaines and Fred Kellner. Mr. Hoopes coached the varsity team. Mr. Brunn, coach of Junior Varsity basketball, had a fairly successful season, considering the inexperience of his team. By the end of the season, they showed great improvement, and should make up a good varsity next season.
