This league consisted of teams from different High Schools of the County. A large trophy in the form of a basketball is to be awarded to the team Winning the pennant three consecutive years. At the close of the first league season Burnham and Milroy were tied for first place. It was decided to play a series of three games for the Championship of the league. Burnham won the first two games, making the third game unnecessary. By winning this series, Burnham received the trophy for the first successful year of organized basketball in this league. We were defeated but once. This defeat came from Milroy, on of the strongest teams in this league. Throughout the season, only two games were lost, the first with Altoona Catholic High School and the second as mentioned above, with Milroy. This made two defeats out of the twenty-two games. Those who made this season a success were: Joseph Hunter, Captain, Roger Harper, Cyril Frey, Ralph Shauver, Ellis Hamaker, Harry Pulley, John Benner, Jack Kinsloe and, last but not least, our coach, Fred C. Bower. FORTY-TWO 'Y

On account of having so few High School girls out for Basketball, three ex-high girls were secured. These were Ruth Kline, Dorothy Leeper and Stella Moore. The services of these girls were highly appreciated. Because of the fact that some of the team were High School girls and others were Y. M. C. A. girls, the team has been called the Hi-Y Girls. Because of the fact that this is the first Year Book to be published by our High School, we think that mention should be made of some of our' former Basketball teams. During the term of 1917-1918, the girls had one of the best teams in the history of the school. They won the champ- ionship of Mifflin County. The team was composed of Minnie Lynn, Reta Leeper, Mable Leeper, Florence Ulsh, Mildred Sunderland, Amelia Harper and Mattie Thomas. Another no less successful girls team helped to put Burnham on the map during the year 1919-1920. This Lynn-Collins-Leeper-Hahn-Ayers Combination defeated practically everything that it went up against, includ- ing the Harrisburg P. R. R. and Beckley College the Championship of Central Pennsylvania. This was a great honor for so small a school as Burnham, but as we know, Burnham High School is noted for doing things of great importance. The next team that deserves special mention is that of 1921-1922. This team composed of Louise Stewart, Dorothy Leeper, Mildred Pursel, Margaret Jacobs, Edna Smith and Mildred Shaffer. FORTY-THREE
