THE PHILLIPIAN 25 GIRLS' ATHLETICS REVTOUSLY girls' athletics has received very little response until this year. Two years ago volley-ball was at- tempted but with little success. A year ago we participated in a dual track meet with Strong and later went to the county meet where We won two points. Those winning these ipoints and thereby Winning their track letters were Leola Kempton and Dorothy Toothaker. Last fall we were represented a- the North Franklin County Track Meet held at Kingfield but we were unsuccessful in placing in any event. Under the efficient leadership and coach- ing of Mrs. Albert Scamman a basketball team was organized last fall. On account of lack of practice our success was very limited but we have the material for a win- ning team. The first game was played at Rangeley, the latter team winning. Later in a return game our team made a much better showing and we feel that coopera- tion Will produce a winning 'team for us. This spring baseball is taking the place of volley-ball. Neighboring schools are organizing teams and a .schedule has al- ready been arranged. We are planning to organize a team here if enough of the girls are interested. We have material to pro- duce county champions in all girls' ath- 'L'. Q x fir' letics but there is a prevailing reluctance to participate. Today more than ever ath- letics is being stressed. Physical exercise is realized to be as important as mental exercise and development. Our baseball schedule calls for games with Strong, Kingfield, Rangeley, or in other words our schedule is the same as that for boys' baseball. We feel very grateful and appreciative to Mrs. Scamman for her efforts in our be- half and hope we may be so fortunate as to secure her aid again next year. TRACK - FALL, 1931 E were very successful this year in getting men to come out for track. Although we had lost our iron man, Everett Lindy Harnden, and another sure point getter, Norman Field, we had high hopes of winning again this year because other schools had lost important men also. As a means of preparation for the big meet, which was to be held at Kingfield, we had an intercxlass meet which the Sophomores easily won with a score of '72 points. The Juniors came next with 402 points, the Seniors next with 37 points, and the Freshmen pulling up last with a score of 182 points. The Franklin Journal summarized the meet at Kingfield as follows: The North
