We -w AND THE FINEST EDUCATION VARSITY BASEBALL-I 947 Bloomsburg High School, for the first time in its history, won the Columbia County Baseball Championship. They also copped the first District No. 4 Title ever staged by the P. I. A. A. The winner of the Columbia County League is determined by the Shaughnessy eliminations. In the playoffs Bloomsburg romped to victories over Locust and Conyng- ham to clinch the championship. By accomplishing this feat, the Panthers gained the right to enter the District No. 4 playoffs. Three successive wins over Watsontown, Sunbury and Troy enabled Bloomsburg to claim the title of District No. 4 champions. The team batted at a terrific clip for an average of .357 and a total number of 66 extra base hits. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Golder and Mr. Hidlay, Bloomsburg won eighteen of twenty games for an excellent season but much building will be necessary in the spring of 148 as eleven men were lost from the squad either by age or by graduation. 1947 BASICBAL1.

A WELL BALANCED PROGRAM JUNIOR I-IIGH BASKETBALL The Junior High Basketball team of Coach Ben Pollock came through the 1947- 1948 season with a record of twelve wins and four defeats. The team, which is composed of seventh and eighth graders, uncovered a great deal of talent and with a little more experience and guidance will surely make cham- pionship teams.

IS THE ULTIMATE RESULT GIRLS' BASKETBALL The Varsity Team this year, coached by Mrs. Dolores Bader, was composed of tive girls from the Senior Class, one from the Junior Class, two from the Sophomore Class. and one from the Freshman Class. The Pantherettes won sevcn out of thirteen gfamcs played during their season. This was a good average for the girls who were practically newcomers on the floor. The Junior Varsity Team was composed of two Seniors, one Sophomore, four Freshman, and one eighth-grader. Since thc majority of the Varsity are being graduated this year, many of the junior varsity players will be moved up to the varsity team next year. GIRLS' TUIVIBLING TEAM The girls' tumbling tiam this year included girls from both the Junior and Senior High School, With Mrs. Dolores Bader as their instructor, the girls started their practices in January in preparation for the Circus. In return for their most freely given time they reccived no awards such as letters or pins. All they hoped to attain was a successful Circus, the money from which is used to buy gymnasium equipment. The Circus was held on April nth and 9th. On lVlarch 25th, the girls also ,gave an exhibition at the Danville State Hospital. 63 ,I .AY .rl 1' 4'
