S. girls were unusually interested in basketball this year. As a whole they showed n1ore team work, better co-operation, and better sportsman- ship, than they have in the past few years. A good record was made this year by the girls. They won most of their games, and those through which they met defeat were lost by only a few points. Miss Perlt, who coached for two full seasons and half of a third, was great- ly missed by the team, but her position was xery successfully filled by Miss Lund- gren. The players graduating are: Mildred hlaeb, Helen Trask, Doris Middlestadt and Lois Bailey. Record of Games Played. lilk River, 18 ...... ................................................... .... S t .
