WIN THROP HIGH SCHOOL 35 pitcherg Dow, first base, Moore, second baseg De la Feuilliez, shortstop, and Swift, Lincoln, Stetson, Kus, and Gay- lord, outfielders. The regular starters last year were De la Feuilliez, Cobb, Dow, and Moore, all of whom will provide the fielding and batting punch of the team. Tinker Lincoln, a regular outfielder two years ago, came back to school this year and will undoubtedly lead the team in hitting and fielding. New candidates who look promising are Emery, a left handed pitcher who already looks like a regular starter. Norcross will probably be stationed at shortstop, and De la Feuilliez will be shifted to third base, or a position in the outfield. Other candidates seeking positions are: Chick Cobb, a fast outfielderg Towns, Waterman, Merrill, and Burr. A tough schedule has been arranged with Cony, South Paris, Richmond, Hal- lowell, Mechanic Falls, and games pena- ing with Gardiner, Fairfield, Livermore, and Richmond. There is much enthusiasm among the boys as they are working for new uni- forms. The committees on this drive are certainly showing their stuff by all reports. The team and Mr. Jordan, who ably coaches it, predict and hope for a suc- cessful season. ..jALU Winthrop Junior High Sports We started at the first of the year, with the aid of Coach Millett, in learn- ing the fundamentals of football. Al- though we did not have football suits we had a good time learning signals, plays, etc. We were going along full swing when evidently all interest was lost and after a few more nights of practice only two or three were left, so we turned our in- terests to basketball. For two weeks we had the gymna- sium by ourselves, and we made good use of it by practicing every night with Coach Millett who helped us. One night, to everyone's great sur- prise and joy, Coach Millett organized a J. V. team to play other teams. Even though we did not win all the games, we 'had a good time and got useful ex- perience. The following are Eighth Grade play- ers on the J. V. team: George Ruman, Milo Johnson, Francis Johnson, Lester Mason, Donald Baker. Floyd Smith, Wallace Allen, Norman Rheaum, Joseph LaChapelle, Maurice Sylvester, Henry Jolin, and Robert Maxwell. We are looking forward to baseball practice. As yet not much has been done but we are going to have a J. V. team as soon as possible. James Hinds '40. The Alumni Association held their tenth annual reunion August io, 1935, at the Legion Hall. After the prayer offered by Judge H. E. Foster, a deli- cious banquet was served by the ladies of the Aux- iliary followed by the address of Welcome by the president, Elinor Bishop. Remarks were made by George Hegarty of Waterville, who holds the dis- tinction of being the only member of his class to graduate and for whom alone graduation exercises were held. Melrose Davies of Framingham, Mass., was the next speaker and his reminiscences were much enjoyed. The guest speaker of the evening was Prof. Albert Gilman of Central Y. M. C. A. College of Chicago. This was Prof. Gilman's second visit with us and his lecture was most interesting. The following officers were elected for this year: President, Frank Bakerg First Vice-President, Nellie Briggs: Second Vice-President, William Abelliz Treasurer, Marguerite Stockfordz Recording Secretary, Leah Bell :i Corresponding Secretary, Marguerite Sprague: Historian, Flora Bishop: Exec- utive Committee, H. C. Miller, president, vice-presi- dents, and all past presidents. A social hour followed.

34 WINTHROP WINNER Gardiner and Richmond were the fol- lowing- games, which were taken over very easily by our girls. Hallowell, our biggest rival, was next It was played away. This couldn't be called a basketball game, it was a strug- gle to the finish. Losing, however, just made the girls more determined than ever to get even on their floor. Next came Mechanic Falls again. Our girls won 10-28. For the first time we had the honor of playing Kents Hill Seminary. Al- though this was an older, experienced team our girls came out on top. The Dostie sisters played a good game for us. The next two games were also taken over easily. The subs had a chance to warm up and score a few points. At last Hallowell in our own gym. The girls had been practicing very hard for this game, which was to be the best one of the season. It was a fight and any- one's game till the last shot was fired. With five seconds to go Kinney scored the winning basket and we won 23-25. We then went to Kents Hill Semi- nary. We enjoyed playing on their new gym floor and we took them over 10-28. The girls were rewarded for their fine work by having an invitation to play in the Fairfield Tournament. We accepted. very proudly. On March 4 we played Carmel. Both teams were unevenly matched and we won, 10-30. By winning this game we were to play Hallowell. Saturday night. The game was called at 7.30 and everyone was anxious to see this game played off. We started out wonderfully and thought that we could take them over. but at the beginning of the second quarter we had the mis- fortune of losing Betty Webb, one of our best guards. This was very discour- aging, and conseqeuntly we lost. How- ever, this didn't hamper us from play- ing for consolation on Monday night. We tackled Oakland, one of the fastest teams in the tournament. The girls were very sad at their defeat from Hallowell but they put their chins up and went out to fight. The girls are to be admired for the spirit they showed after com- ing up from defeat to victory. The girls fought for every basket they made and won, 13-14. Olive Fleury was the win- ning scorer of the game. Having only two minutes to play she came in the game and tied the score. With two sec- onds to play she shot the winning basketg the gun was fired and Winthrop had won the Consolation. A beautiful trophy was presented them. Captain Nedza was awarded a medal for All- Tournament guard. Another wonderful season is finished. Five veterans will return next year, cap- tained by Marguerite Fleury. The fol- lowing girls will receive letters: K. Nedza, B. Webb, M. Fleury, K. Kinney, and E. Young. The basketball gymna- sium closes its doors for a period of rest until next year.
