N' We lllesiaeinnsiscrcir 1Q 3 Gliiitlaoinircitr, Girls' Basketball Basketball. as in previous years, was the most important activity in girls' athletics. After Thanksgiving vacation, the girls from all classes lmet twice a week to learn and to practice the rules of the game. The carptains chosen to represent each class were as follows: Seniors, Josephine Harvanekg Juniors, Stasia Piastag SOD'h0IllO1'6S, Muriel Swwansong and Freshmen, Frances Davagne. What had been learned during the weeks of practice was easily shown in the inter-class games. The results of the inter-mural series follow: Seniors 35, Sophomores 15g Juniors 31, Freshmen 65 Seniors 17, Juniors 9. The Senior girls received nu- merals ilor winning all games played. The comparative standing of the classes was Q11 Seniors, C23 Juniors, 131 Freshmen, Q41 Sofphomores. At the end of the season the outstanding players of each class were chosen to make up the varsity team. An outside game with Holden was played on March 23. The Holden girls scored many points during the first half, but the Bartlett girls outscored them in the second half. Nevertheless Holden won. 20-17. A griouzp of Senior girls, after naniing Jennie Zalla as the first girl to be elected to the Athletic Council, sent questionnaires to many outstanding schools in Massa- chusetts, to learn how other schools award numerals and letters to girl athletes. As .a result oil representation upon the Athletic Council, the girls, for the iirst time in the history of Bartlett High School, have achieved a long desired privilege, that of receiving letters. Previously this type of insignia has been awarded only to the boys' teams. Henceforth green and white letters may serve as incentives for girl and boy athletes alike. This year the letters will be awarded only to those girls wfho played at least one quarter of the game with Holden High School, the only out- side game of the season.
