Dedication, Hard ork Bring Girls, Success It takes determination and interest to play any sport, but it requires real dedication when practices are held at seven o'clock in the morning. Due to the crowded schedule of games and practices in the Stevenson gym, the girls' basketball teams found themselves working out at that early hour. By combining dedication with hard work, they came up with their most successful season ever. While the girls' varsity team did not post a winning record, their play improved greatly. They Won only three games, but three of their losses came by less than three points. The girls often beat schools with more established teams, like Bloomfield Andover. The dedication to the sport also paid off for mem- bers of the JV team. With the aid of Coach Elizabeth Embree, who also handled the varsity squad, the JV's won five of their games, while losing only three.

New school records were set in many events, including the pole vault, high jump, shot put, 440 yard run, and the mile run.
