BASKET BALL The “Twins” had a fairly good season this year. Several new schools were added to the schedule, among them, Manassas, Occoquan, and Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. Mt. Rainier, National Training School, Roosevelt, Mt. St. Joseph, Nokes- ville, and Lredericksburg were defeated early in the year. Then followed a mixture of defeats and victories. The team played in the Star Tournament at the close of the season, but was defeated by Bethesda-Chevy Chase in perhaps the most hotly contested game of the year, the winning basket being scored in the last few seconds of play. We entered the state finals at Charlottesville but were defeated. This closed the season. The team was composed of Captain McMenamin, Nugent, Wood, Lynch, Ennis, Apperson, B. Burrell, R. Burrell, Jacobson, Smith, Brewer, and Manager Roland. Jifty-six

FOOTBALL The football team this year was considered the strongest in years, winning eight out of ten games. Prospects looked none too bright at the beginning of the season because of heavy losses from graduation. However, Coach Given received such capable replacements from last year’s “Suicide Squad” that gloom soon turned to sunshine. Eastern defeated us in the first game of the season, 7-6. Then Central fell to the “Maroon and Orange,” 12-0. The second and last reverse of the season came at the hands of Western. The “Twins,” outweighed, went down fighting with a score of 6-0. From then on, one victory followed another — Southern, National Training School, Roosevelt, Washington and Lee, Hopewell, Fredericksburg, and Gonzaga. The Southern game was played at night in Baltimore. This was the first night game to be played by A. H. S. The defeat of Washington and Lee, 12-7, and of Fredericksburg, 20-0, made us Champions of Northern Virginia and holder of the mythical District “B” title. Gonzaga was played as a post-season game, the climax to Home-Coming Week. The “Twins” slid and skidded through a sea of mud and water to win, 19-0. At the annual Football Supper, given by the Pep Club, the following received letters: Co-captains, Luckett and Fritter, Captain-elect for 1935, Shu; Varney, Fones, Ewald, Nugent, Beach, Robinson, Pulman, Stewart, Apperson, Saunders, McCuen, Jefferies, Hammersley, Burroughs, Kirchner, Davis, O’Neil, Worden, and Manager Brewer.

THE BALLAD OF THE BASKETEERS The practice is started with the new and the old, And Miss Bowers is beginning the schedule to unfold. On December 15, the St. Ritas we beat. The score was 3 1 to 3 — a great defeat! The Buddies were the next to go down. With a score of 33 to 9. Fredericksburg, our most famous foe. Lost to us with a score of 14 to twenty-fo’. Herndon was our next victim, 22 to 16, we gained with great good vim. Our winning stroke was broken, I don’t say, “Alas!” With close scores to Mt. Rainier, Herndon, and Manas-sas. But at this bad luck we cried to heaven. And defeated Occoquan, 36 to 11. Our games, oh, my! are not now on a winning streak. From Fredericksburg and Mt. Rainier we took it, not on the chin, but on the cheek. Our A and B teams are both seen in action. When they defeat St. Agnes, A and B, in style of satisfaction. The season does not end as we will : We go down to Lee-Jackson, Occoquan and Nokesville. The players who made this season, as everyone knows. Are the sisters Shapiro, Annie and Rose, With Gorham, Weiner, Caton, and Shu, And Smith, Rose, Mosher and Shaw. “Adew.” ' Jifty-seven
