THE BACONIAN Girls’ Basketball Team This year girls’ basketball took a far more active part in athletics at Bacon Academy than ever before. The teams with which we played home—eight home games— were: Nathan Hale High School of Moodus, Norwich Y. W. C. A., Williams Memorial Institute of New London, and Glastonbury High School. Although every game did not mean a victory, each and every merrfber of the team “played to the end” always. Leading her team-mates onward was Fanny Wasnieski, who proved her ability as center as well as captain. Her loyal supporters were Doris Riley, Anna Ewafove, Mary O’Ccnnor, Florence Minsk, Mamie Gyome, Bertha Fedus. Gertrude Seger, our capable manager, deserves much credit for her work and cooperation. Miss Donovan and Miss O’Brien were our coaches this year and inspired us with their enthusiasm and eagerness. BACON ACADEMY Twenty-five
