GIIHS' BASKHIlAll Early in November the girls became impatient for basketball, but practise didn't begin until the end of the month. Eleanor Reynolds was elected captain this year, and Helen Cameron, manager and scorer. The girls practised only a few times during Activity Period on Wednesdays before their first game, which was on December 31. Lacking a scorer and four players, Mt. Desert was defeated 52-51 by Sullivan. The team decided to get down to business on January 7, when they met Blue Hill here at home. The final score was 53-47, Mt. Desert's favor. On January 14, at Pemetic, a hard game followed. Our girls suffered a second loss, 26-21. No excuses this time, those Pemetic girls certainly have no flies on them! A week later, January 21, Mt. Desert made the trip to Ellsworth's gym to see what they could do. The team worked hard, but nevertheless were toppled 40-31 by the Ellsworth club. Ells- worth deserves credit for being such a speedy, smooth ball-handling club. Determined now to add another victory to their list, Mt. Desert invited Sullivan down for a return game on January 30. Mt. Desert came our triumphant, the score was 33-19. Pemetic came to Kelly Gym on February 4 and took the game 38-20. February 11 brought the big home game. The snappy Ellsworth club fought hard, but our own girls fought harder, and the score was 40-38 when the final buzzer sounded. The last game was a victory, making four wins for the team, leaving four losses. February 18 Bar Harbor was beaten 32-22. by the Mount Desert team. Miss Wood deserves a special Thank You for all her time and work, and the girls should rate our thanks, too. They really did work hard to hold the big teams, but all the team members will admit that it was a lot of fun. Compliments of BEAL'S JEWELRY STORE INC.

This year the majorettes started out quite early in the season in order to have sufficient practice for basketball season. New girls this season are Dawn Meader and Billie Merchant. Billie was chosen to be head majorette and Teta Hews, assistant. Once a week, Teta has a class of seventh and eighth grade girls who are learning to be majorettes for future seasons.

The original members of this group include Jane Brown, Sandra Holmes, Lester Smallidge, Ernest Coombs, Steve Miller, and Gary Tyler. This year the new mem- bers are Betty Murrell, Elaine Higgins, and Crosby Fernald.
