guard positions with Cecil Chad- bourne and Gordon Lombard in the forward positions, and Victor Link- letter taking Center. Later in the year our squad was cut from ten to nine when Herbert Pelkey left us. This cut saw Gordon Lombard switch from forward position to guard. The vacant forward position was fought for by Delmont Howell and Gerald Stadig. but Del came out on top. However. Gerry proved himself cap- able of playing ball. For when Earl Mitchell, the best in the :foul depart- ment, would tloul out or have to take a rest , our coach put Gerry into the game. At those times he really proved his worth to the team. The other players who made up the squad were: Charles Cobb, Allan Sidell, Zane Cray and Gary Noyes. The Seniors leaving us this year, who were on the team, are Victor Link- letter, Delmont Howell and Gerald Starlig. At the start of the basketball sea- son we had a schedule of sixteen gamesg 'fourteen league games and two with Clinton. As the season moved on, we scheduled practice games with Dexter J. V.'s. Then two games with the Town Team and Alumni wound up the season with 23 games and an overall record of fif- teen wins and eight losses- The teams we played and the scores were as follows: H. H. S.

The Harmony High School team overpowered their opponents in the four games played, thus giving Har- mony the championship of the lea- gue, and placing us in the State play- offs. We were defeated in the first round of this contest by E. Corinth: score, 7 to The players that were lost from the team were Vernon Carr, Donald Kimball, Clifton Brown and Sherman Perry. The other 'boys making up the squad were Dana Huff, Earl Mitchell, Dcjlmont Howell, Herbert Pelkey, Charles Cobb, Rodney Curtis, Waynard Folsom and Gordon Lom- bard. The split season didn't really come into effect until the fall of '52. This saw our new coach, Mrs- Tracy, try- ing to defend the name of Harmony High School Champions in the U. K. V. L. league. We won two and lost three of our games played last fall. The other games that will complete the split season will be played in the spring of '52. The boys that make up the team

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Basketball! I ! This is what we all really had on our minds from the first day of school and went into our first practice with a lot of vim and vigor. In this, Mr. St. Pierre had a little better luck with his medicine as we really went to town and won half of the games we played- Arleen discovered that hookshots were her specialty, and Pat put her name in bright lights with her set shots. Florence and Dawna were discovered and were thankful for much eating and fast growing as they were our tallest guards. Nonie, our peanut of the team, was always waiting for all the rebounds that came along. Lo- retta and Margaret, our most-used subs. have helped us win our games. you girls are forgotten because if it Now don't think that the rest of hadn't been for you Meredith, Jackie, J o-Ann and Alice to help in our prac- tices and stand behind us we cer- tainly wouldn't have the wonderful record we have this year. So, Coach. get your feet braced for a bigger and better team next year. The high scorer of our team was Arleen Ames, and Pat Gourley was chosen to play in the All-Star Game at No. Anson.
