Senior Booster Boy’s Basketball The 1932-33 basketball team of Buffalo will not be remembered because of victories but because of the hard fighting pluck and sportsmanship they displayed on the floor. Fighting their best in ! the last half, they can never be said to have quit when behind. Buffalo opened the season by losing to a crack Judith Gap team, i next playing Hobson, Mo of e and Moccasin. Adverse road conditions ' deplayed the schedule somewhat, making it necessary to play the last game after tournament. i The annual sub-district tournament was held at Moor, Buffalo i opening against Hobson, The game was close most of the time and the j score at the last was 18-25 in favor of Hobson. Buffalo played the j next afternoon against Moore for third and fourth places, losing, ■ 20-35. At the close of the tournament the Buffalo squad received I the Sportsmanship Trophy. i j The team was composed of five Seniors and two Sophomores, these | players having played enough to receive a letter; Captain, William | Griffith, guard., Clifford Ristine, guard., Harold Zimmerman, for- ward., Lowell Barnhart, forward., Thomas Holdsworth, Center., Thomas Gregory, guard., and Edward Stevenson, center. -------Thomas Holdsworth. Girls Basket Ball Cont. Mary Griffith; She is a sub. but just the same she knew how to play Basketball just as well as the main players. Mary was a good for- ward and had a keen eye for the Basket. It is rather unfortunate that Mary is a Senior this year. I Ruth Corey: Another Sub. A small but mighty Sophomore. Ruth showed j her ability to play Basketball and as this is her first year on the team she has two more years to contribute to the team of the future. Ruth could be relied upon to fill any position. : Agnes Sailsbury; A four year player, and one whose Basket shooting ; ability has won her fame. The past season she played center posi- tion and fulfilled her duties as Captain in a commendable way.(E.F.) Agnes Salisbury

r i Senior Booster I Girls Basket Ball Unfortunately the girls' basketball team had only two games this year to play. So many of the towns we used to play against had dis- countinued girls' basket ball. The only team we could compete with was Judith Gap and we lost both of our games to them. The girls . did make arrangements to play the Teachers each time that they were | free to do so. e enjoyed playing them just as much as playing an I outside town. j ' .' M l i The line-up for the squad consisted of three Juniors and three- •• • Seniors, Subs.—One Senior and one Sophomore. The Sophomores were j lucky in getting one member out of their class to be choosen to be •; on the team, ; . The girls who played in the majority of the games were Eleanor Naylor, Dorothy Lilley, and Agnes Salisbury as forwards; Edythe Fairbanks, Maude Phillips, and Betty Wernli as guards. Mary Grif- fith and huth orey each played a quarter or more. Letters were awarded to the entire squad by Mr. Mattill at the Annual Basketball banquet held at the Church Basement, April 7. Individual write ups: i Eleanor Naylor; The forward whose highest ambition was to hit the basket. STeanor not only tried to hit it but she made several of the Buffalo points. Dorothy Lilley: This being her first year on the team and also, her last s!he left a favorable impression to us all that she could play basketball. Dorothy was our whirlwind of a forward as well as when she had to fall back to the position as guard. Edythe B’airbanks: This being Edythe s last year on the team all will say that she has been a good player the full three years she has played. Edythe not only showed good Sportsmanship but she was not afraid to enter into the game. She was a fighter when playing. Her goal was to get the ball and get it across to her forwards and this she did. Maude Phillips: Our excellent player at guard position. When a pass was made to her opponents Maude was there to interfere. She used team work. As aude has another year to play she can contri- bute much to the team. • he has now played three years. Betty “ernll: Another guard who filled her position on the team remarkably. Betty has played two years on the team. Last year due to her absence from our school she was unable to help us out but this year she came back as strong a player as ever. Betty has another year in which to play and show her ability.

SENIOR ROOSTER Basketball Banquet The Boy's and Girls' basketball teams of the Buffalo High, were honored by their class-mates, friends, parents and patrons of the • school at a banquet held Friday night, April the 7th in the basement . of the community church. 1his occasion having much in common with ! five other previous banquets offered a splendid opportunity for the i young athletes and their friends to unite in an evening of genuine ! merriment, and provided further a most suitable time to present I letters to the members of both teams which had earned them during the season just past. The basement of the church suitably adapted for handling a large banqueting group was appropriately decorated for the occasion, walls were covered with streamers of royal blue and white, while the tables with an unique arrangement were simply but attr. ctively set, with decorated napkins and cleverly designed nut cups adding to the total effect. »«ith such a setting about ninety people found their places designated by a combination place card, menu and program, which in itself was a clever design and an artistic piece of work, and for which as well as other decorative features the committee in charge deserves much credit. Immediately after being seated. Miss Gladys Shierson took charge of the moods and dispositions of everybody and set them all atune with numerous songs and parodies. Interspersed during the entire evening song followed song or a toast or a course of the feast, making the evening from this standpoint alone one long to be remembered. After the three course dinner had been served by the high school girls who acted as waitresses the following program was carried out: Toastmistress Miss 'dalker R-uffalo Basket Ball Rev.
