Up until Christmas they had lost only one game and that was in the Shattuck tournament. During Christmas vacation the team lost one of their most dependable guards by marriage and the team was considerable shaken-up but Evelyn Wayland and Shirley Cromwell stepped in to do a fine job. The team is losing 4 seniors this year-Sue Chesnut, Luana Caruthers, Vernita Price, and Mary Jane Woods. The team will miss these girls next year as they all played fine ball and displayed good sportsmanship.
