BASKETBALL Th© 1949-1950 basketball season proved to be one of the most successful in many a moon for a Barre High School team. The high spirited team, backed by many hard routing fans, went on to win 10 games while losing 9 which is excellent con- sidering that the team had no regular high school gym in which to practice any time it had the desire to do so. Nine of these games were won in the regular season, one being a play-off with Hardwick for the championship of the Southern Division of the King Philip League, The other two games were accounted for in the Orange Tournament where Barre won one and lost the second game to a strong Brookfield five. In Barre ' s first tournament game it defeated Thayer Academy, which not only pushed them ahead in the tournament, but won them the champion- ship of the entir e King Philip League, This spring a Sports Night Banquet was held in honor of the team. Letters, gold basketballs, and basketball certificates were presented to the members of both the boys and girls basket- ball teams. Looking into the future for a moment, it looks as though next year ' s basketball team will be mighty strong, since only three players from this year ' s squad will graduate in June.

GIRLS ' SPORTS The diverting sport the girls of Barre High can boast about this year is basketball. Mr. Dawson gave his services in coaching the girls throughout the 1914 . 9-1950 season. Palma Puliafico was chosen captain with Barbara Mennard acting as co-captain. The season scheduled games included twelve games, and all the girls could do was eke out two victories over North Brookfield by scores of 63-I4.3 and [[ 4 - 30 . Once again the old custom of having supper with the Templeton girls after the afternoon games, were held. Another phase was also added this season. Twice a month the girls traveled to Orange High School and had practices with the Orange girls basketball teams. As the year 1950 rolls by Barre High will lose its three most active forwards, Helen Chakuas, Barbara Mennard, and Palma Puliafico. These girls have played basketball continually for four years and are hopeful that the underclassmen will be victor- ious in future years.
