74 THE BLUE MOON Brown and Virginia Cutting manipulated some one-pass baskets which were very inlluential in speeding up the game, and gave us a last ray of hope. But back of it all was Mrs. Holden, our fine coach, who had helped us to build a foundation that Was Worthy of and necessary for victory.

THE Community Chest, which was organized three years ago, has fortu- nately been able to render great assistance to those in need on account of the business depression. With 347.73 on hand from last year, and with 3383.01 collected in the fall and spring, a sum of 3430.74 was available for distribution. As usual, we gave a. scholarship of 3100 to Hampton Institute when the quintet sang in assembly late in October. Later we received a letter from a boy who won the scholarship, telling us of his work at the Institute. At the end of October, We responded to a request for clothes from the Providence Street School, Later, a sum of 3100 was subscribed to the Golden Rule Fund, 350 was sent to the Porto Rico Child Feeding Committee, and 325 to St. Michael's Missioin, for medicine and nursing. At the time of the Thanksgiving play, jellies, fruits, and vegetables, which were later distributed by the Associated Charities and the Society of District Nursing, covered the front of the stage. At Christmas, toys. books, and clothes were assembled, and sent to the Charities. The toys were mended by the children of the Lower School, and made a gay exhibit in the main hall before the holidays. The committee wishes to thank everybody individually for so smilingly giving in this difficult year, and to assure each one that those who have beneiited by Bancroft generosity have indeed smiled.

The third quarter, by far the most exciting. except for the last, ended with Bancroft two points in the lead. The fourth started out infinitely in favor of Lincoln, and continued thus until, with about two minutes to play and Lincoln ahead by six or seven points, a time-out was called. Voices are still singing praises of Nancy Brown's alertness and agile playing, but they will never be able to do her justice, or give enough verbal palm leaves to Edith Blakeslee and Betty Wood, our two guards who played so well, and made the last two minutes especially, favorable to Bancroft.
