.Jx1xJ GIRL'S BASKETBALL During the last part of the fall term our Basketball season opened. A team comprising freshmen, sophomores, juniors and two seniors began the long hard struggle of practice, with WB1lln Sullivan as coach, Rose Flanagan and Miss Tower as assistants. Three nights a week were spent in practice trying to pick from a team of unskilled players, a team which in the end would prove themselves worthy to belong to the long line of R. H. S. famous teams. With 'BillnSullivan at the helm, everyone tried to do their best to earn a place when the final check up was made. The first league game took place January 18th, with Rockport at Rockland, the line- up was: R.F.-Pikeg L.F.-Till, J.C.-Young, R.C.-Dimickg R.G.-Welch, L.G.-McAlary3 Sub- stitutes--Hussey, Gray, Shannon, Osier, Crowley, Phillip, Ramsdell, McPhee. The game terminated ln Rockland's favor, and did it put the pep into our young and courageous hearts and with our energetic and ever present coach who was ever with us in fair or foul weather, we were eager to sign up for another game. Practice nights pursued and everyone tried to profit by the advice given. At last twelve new suits arrived and we were all anxious to see who would be lucky e- nough to draw one. The game that followed told the tale. The game that followed did not prove very successful as to scoring, but wo all tried to play the game, win or lose. The Lewiston game was one of especial interest, both to those who went and to those who played, also for many days after it was newspaper talk. A great number of students, past and present, also teachers, parents and interested friends, followed up our games at home and abroad and to all we were deeply grateful, It showed the school spirit and loyal cooperation which make the backbone of all sports. There were outstanding players in every game, but as they were nearly all 'new handsn lt would be hard to tell just to whom belonged the laurels. Nevertheless the season of 1956 is over, and even though it did not prove so success- ful as of yore, many happy memories linger and the outlook for 1937 is brighter than ever. Success to the team, and best wishes to our beloved coach, nB1lln Sullivan .
