In ihe last game of the season, the West Carrollton girls entertained Oakwood in a cold, heavy rain. They made a slow start and failed to gather enough speed to overtake their challengers. The unsuccessful season brought the hockey players many bumps, bruises, and scars. Despite this fact, all the participants had a good time; and the hockey team maintained its enviable reputation of friendliness and good sportsmanship. by Nancy Mitchell

HOCKEY This year the West Carrollton hockey team was unable to secure speed to overtake its opponents. The team scored only three goals in four games; and, as a result, they lost three games and tied the fourth one. The first game was played with Northridge on the West Carrollton field. Nancy Mitchell made the first goal, and Blan Manning came in for the last drive which tied the score 2 to 2. The hockey team next traveled to Fairmont where, in a freezing temperature, they suffered their first loss. A fine display of sportsmanship was shown by both teams. The Pirates still did not give up their hope of winning. However, in spite of their great efforts, the game with Fairview crumbled to another loss. West Carrollton’s only goal was made by Bertha Taulbee. The first team scrimmages against the second team.
