Harpursville and Hancock were unable to attend the playday. For this reason two teams were selected to partici- pate from each school. There was an A team, consisting mainly of the original team picked for the playday, and a B team from each school. The teams with the corresponding letters played each other and the victories of both teams were scored together to determine the Final placing. Bainbridge A team placed first, winning all of their games. Bainbridge B team, never having practiced together, lost only the last game, putting them in second place. However, we were the first place winners of the entire volleyball playday when the scores were all totaled. Ethel Armstrong and Beverly Foster were the all-stars from the A team and June Aylesworth and Sheryl Hulbert were the all-stars from the B team. The A team is shown in the first and second rows of the volleyball picture. The B team is shown in the third and fourth rows. 1933 Basketball Team lst row fbottomj, l. to r.: Edna Shofkom, Viola Sherman, Alice Taylor, Lucretia Brown, Ellen Nymann. 2nd row: Harriet Sipple, Gladys Covey, Wilma Gustafson, Ruth Taylor, Marian Peckham. 3rd row: Gretchen Hartman, Marcello Lowry, Thena Teed, Coach Cousins. The scores and standings of this 1933 basketball team are unknown to us, but we do know that this team played regular league games as the boys do today. In 1933 girls' basketball teams took the place of today's jayvees. The more simplified girls' rules that we use today were introduced later and have been played ever since. 67
