WINTER SPORTS Ashland I-Iigh's Winter Sports team emerged from the year's season the Aroos- took County Champions. Unable to play basketball because of a lack of facilities, the Ashland team proved itself the leader in winter sports. For the most part Ashland competed against schools larger than their own, and in all but one meet, emerged the victor. Ashland's only loss was to the Cari- bou team by one-half point at the Annual Caribou Winter Camival. Looking back over the season we happily remember and re-live our wins and losses. They were as follows: LIMESTONE CARNIVAL Ashland-40: Easton-16: Limestone-13: DUAL MEET-AT FORT FAIRFIELD Ashland-35: Fort Fairfield-33 STATE MEET IN BETHEL Ashland-Seventh Place CARIBOU CARNIVAL Caribou-21: Ashland-ZOW: Fort Kent- 20, Madawaska-ISM1: and I-'ort Fairfield- 19 FORT KENT CARNIVAL Ashland-35: Caribou-22: Madawaska- ' 21: Fort Kent-20: Fort Fairfield--I9 DUAL MEET AT ASHLAND Mapleton-9 Ashland-49: Presque Isle-23 AROOSTOOK CENTRAL LEAGUE MEET COUNTY MEET AT PRESQUE ISLE AT ASHLAND .

Robert Brewer The Ashland Chapter of Future Farmers held their first meeting during the second month of school. Of the forty-two boys enrolled in agriculture this year, thirty-six joined the Future Farmers. As a club we endeavor to put into prac- tice what we have learned in Vocational Agriculture by means of summer projects. Also we try to be of service to other organ- izations in school and to the general public. Some of the more entertaining parts are the holding oi F. F. A. socials, Father and Son Banquets, and attending agriculture judging contest on state and local level.

V.'s, at Orono. MacLean placed first among the contestants, but we lost 24-31. Our second meet was at Presque Isle where we met defeat for the second time. 23 to 32. Later on in the season the Presque Isle team came to Ashland for a return meet and won by a margin of 6 points with a score of 25 to 31. Later we were challenged by Lee Acade- my who came to Ashland and won by a close score of 26 to 29. After our second venture to the U. of M. for the State meet. in which we placed tenth, we went to Lee Academy to revenge our former loss. For the second time, the Lee team proved to be too much for our boys and defeated us 20 to 43. Although we lost this meet, MacLean set a new cross-country record on the Lee course by clipping 17 seconds off the pre- vious record. QThis event brought MacLean an invitation to compete in the Annual New England Cross-Country Meet held at Franklin Park in Boston, Mass. Although greatly handicapped by.drlzzling rain and a soupy track, MacLean did his best and placed 27th in a field of 200 runnersj VVhile the over-all record oi the cross- country team was one of defeats, we are proud of our beginning. The season did produce an outstanding star in Carlton MacLean. Because of his excellent indi- vidual record the Ashland Rotary Club sponsored his participation in the New England Cross-Country Meet at Franklin Park in Boston.
