The basketball season opened in competition with the other schools of Henry County in an outdoor conference. The number of games Won and lost was not impressive, though the narrow margin of defeat in most of the games promises a brighter future. The fighting spirit in defeat or victory was one of the outstanding qualities of the team. In addition to the outdoor conference the team played in the Henry County Tournament, and in the Drexel and Clinton Invitational Tournaments. At the close of the season Maxon Brown was elected captain by the members of the basketball squad. The team was coached by Mr. Shelton S. Abney, Jr. XR YQx5 B H r ,i sxwt C 19 , H an 38 Blbxs-.....v
