26 FLAMSTEAD CHALLENGE BOYS' BASKETBALL Carl Brooks Boys' basketball was again the major sport of the year at Chester High School. The type of ball playing as shown by the boys was very good, with a season's record of ten wins against seven losses. The best games of the 1948-1949 season were a one-point loss to Vilas and then in the return game a two-point win over them. The team had height, aggressiveness and many good shots, so with this year's experience we should have a still better team next year. Substitute Arthur Putnam will be lost by graduation. For the Junior Varsity five the beginning of the season was very sad, but by the time it came to a close they had scored four wins. They gained a surprise win over Vilas by playing overtime, and ended the The season's record was four wins and seven losses. - Individual scoring records for the Varsity are as follows: season by beating Walpole.

With a total of eleven games played, we lost five, only two of these by more than ten points. Probably Chester's most impressive showings and highlights of the season were in defeating the Ludlow team on both courts and defeating Bellows Falls on our own court by a ten point lead. High scorers for the season were Coolidge with 69 points, Aho with 36 and Chico with 26. Betty Knox, also playing forward, was noted for her quick think- ing and ability to set up plays. Two seniors, Kamelia Wierzbicki and Patsy Knights, were the chosen co-cap- rains for the current season. Chester is losing four guards, by graduation, but nevertheless we forecast a good SBZSOH IICXC yeaf.
