UUHCH Blll SPEHHS This year we completed a very successful basketball season with a 9-6 record. Among the teams played, only two, Pemetic and Ellsworth were able to beat us twice, which was justenough to keep us out of the tournament. We defeated all other teams at least once and held double wins over Bar Harbor and Sumner. We had an unusually fine group of boys on our squad. Capt. Peter Smallidge led us to many vic- tories with his adept shooting, steady ball handling, excellent defensive play and fine team work. Peter is headed for Maine Maritime Academy where I'm sure he'll have just as much success. Two other seniors that will be greatly missed come graduation are Pop Wallace and Gordon Gray. Both of these players kept us in the running all season with their accurate shooting and ex- cellent team work. Each boy averaged about 18 points per game. One game, I recall, we won by a score of 64-58, Gordon and Pop having a total of 53 points between them. Other seniors that gave a serviceable account of themselves when the need arose were Ray Smith and Dwight Carter. These boys always gave all they had and certainly pulled us through in many tight contests. Their rebounding cer- tainly was not unnoticed, especially during games with Sumner and Blue Hill. Underclassmen returning next season who have shown great promise include Jay Scribner, Gary Tyler, Ronnie Musetti and Lester Smallidge. Jay is as adept and illusive as basketball players go and should be a fine leader next season. With every game Gary Tyler showed great improvement and will be an alert center. Left-handed Ronnie Musetti has already proved his skill at hitting the net and will, undoubtedly, improve as the season progresses. Lester Smallidge began to show what he could do by out-rebounding Hampden and Lubec for two most important wins. Other prospects for the coming seasons are Bobby Smallidge, Maynard Pettee, Jim Hooper, Bryant Nicholson, Twins, Duane Jenkins and Jimmy Smallidge. Mgr. Henry Scribner accepted his responsibility sincerely and was truly a faithful servant for the team throughout the season. Hank will really be hard to replace. Finally, I should like to express my appreciation and offer my sincere thanks to all for a most co-operative and exciting season. I can truly say I'm overjoyed with the sportsmanship exhibited during the season. Let's all hope and pray that these attitudes will stay with us wherever we go.
