At the First of the year there was much talk about our new girls basket- ball coach, Miss Shirley Johnson. The girls all hoped for the best and maybe some feared for the worst, but very few foresaw the success that the girls team was to have under its new coach. Not only did they win their first game but they continued to win even after the boys lost their first game to Camp Lejeune. But work and prayer didn’t seem to be enough to enable the girls to turn back a determined Smyrna team for the third time, so Beaufort lost their first game. Still unrecovered four days later they lost again, this time to At- lantic whom they had also twice previously beaten. But after this the girls won all of the remaining games except another to Smyrna, a heartbreaking one point loss on top of being the last game of the regular season. After the end of the season, the team was invited to the Newburn Tourna- ment and after that, to the Dover Tournament, but they were tired after a long hard season and couldn’t get beyond the first round at Newburn or the second at Dover. Nevertheless we are very proud of our girls basketball team, and thank them just as wholeheartedly and sincerely as we did the boys for their fine work in representing our school. 26

Mary Fond Mason, Clifton Lynch, Sarah Mason. Take a good look at them, this is the last year that you will be able to see them in that garb. After so many years of faithfully and enthusiastically leading the cheering at our games and pep rallies, they are graduating. Though this has been Clifton’s first year as a regular cheer leader, he has brought forth cheers from us as though he were doing it when he was born. As for Mary Fond and Sarah, they have been the regulars for the last three years and they gave notice of this fact when they were inaction. We are going to miss them terribly for we know that the gym just won’t be the same without them screaming their throats out for dear old B.H.S. TOURNAMENT NOTES Here are a few facts about the basketball tournaments which the girls and boys of Beaufort played in. As has been said before, the boys had to go to the A.C.C. Tournament in Wilson twice to win the Championship Trophy although they won the Sportsmanship Trophy on the first trip. This was because Winner and second place teams used eneligable players in attaining the places they did. Jimmy Fodrie was named on the all tournament team, while A. C. Blankinship was named on the second team. The boys also entered the Dover tournament but they were not so lucky as be- fore, for they lost the second game. The girls entered the Dover and New Burn tournaments, but were only able to win one game in the two events. However, one of our star guards, Rosalie Chadwick was named on the all tournament team at New Burn, and missedthe Most Valuable Player Award by only one vote, even though she had played in only one game. But now we must say farewell to such players as Rosalie Chadwick, Julia Simp- son, Cora Willis on the girl’s team and A. C. Blankinship, Jimmy Piner, Charles Stuart and Alton Willis on the boy’s team. They have served their school well, and we will sorely miss them in the future. 28
