A BAKED bean supper was served by the Seniors on April 11, 1931. The commit- tee for the supper was VVinnifred Bunnell, Dorothea Vose, and james Toothaker. The supper was well attended and about twenty-tive dollars was netted. E THE ORCHESTRA THIS year our school has been favored with a very fine orchestra. The success of the orchestra dates back farther than high vSC3l'l'OOl, to the time when Miss Phyllis Harnden chose a group of boys and girls who had never before played together and planted the seeds which resulted in the orchestra of which we are so proud today. The orchestra played at the drama, one evening at speaking, and on several occa- sions at school. agp T or KDE XY! i

THE PHILLIPIAN 29 10 Q X xv' 1930- BAJSKETBALL - 1931 E had a very successful season con- sidering it was only our second year of playing and won 11 out of 18 games. There were 12 men on the squad and at least 10 men were used in the ma- jority of the games. The credit of having such a successful season goes to Coaohi Lester Gattrell, Ass't Coach Willard Cur- tis, and several other men :who braved the wind and storm to take us to the different games. The eight league games are as follows: Nov. 7. We easily beat Strat-ton on our floor 27 to 6 using the whole squad. Stinchlield was hiigh scorer with. 10 points. Nov. 21. We found Stratton to be able to play much better on their own floor and they beat us 15 to 11. Field scored seven points. DEC. 6. We walloped Kingfield 33 to 6 on our floor allowing them to score only one basket. The outstanding players and high scorers were Leavitt and Rowe with eight and six points respectively. DEC. 11. This was one of the league's most exciting games. The second team started and did excellent work. At the half the score was: R. H. S. 14. P. H. S. 11. Then the locals began to climb and, with but a minute and a half left to play, Raymond, Rangeley's star, made good a N foul and there was no more scoring, the game ending 28 to 27 for Rangeley. Ray- mond lvvas high with 12 points. Field was high for the locals with 10. DEC. 17. Although Strong beat us in this game 37 to 24 we gave them quite a bit of opposition. They led us 25 to 9 at the half but in the third quarter we came up within a few points of them, only to slip back again. The stars of the game were Stinchlield, who was high scorer with 14 points, and White whose guarding was spectacular. JAN. 21. Wliien Strong High came to town so did most of the inhabitants of Strong and when the game started there was scarcely enough space to play on. Led by Badger, who scored 11 points in the first half, we shot baskets from all angles and distances to lead 22 to 10 at the half. However, in the second half we lost White, who had been sticking to Norris fStrong's starj like a Hy sticks to fly- paper, via the foul route and we then went to pieces to be nosed out 28-27, as Norris went wild to score 12 points. FEB. 10. At Rangeley we had a close game for three quarters but in the last they surged ahead to win 23 to 19. Prescott of R. H. S. was high with 11 points while Stinchfield chalked up nine for us. FEB. 16. We went to Kingfield to make
