As several veterans were on the squad, the prospects for a successful season were evident. From the first day we were determined to uphold the record of previous Chelms- ford teams. Our determination was greatly boosted when we, at long last, appeared on the court with the new look! Our first league defeat came when we journeyed to johnson. We bounded back from the blow, however, to defeat each contender in its turn. It was in the postponed Tewksbury game that we copped the Suburban League crown. This is the fourth straight year that the Chelmsford girls have carried off this honor. We were a tired team that bowed to our rival, Howe, in the final game. Our entry at the Littleton tournament ended in a two point loss after a thrilling game with Townsend. At a post-season squad meeting, Maureen Bishop and Connie Greenwood were elected to lead next year's team.

Q .JK jooldaff The law of averages seems to apply even to athletic success, and certainly the Chelmsford High School football squad has Proved no ex- ception to this rule. After tying our first game with Punchard, we im- mediately ran afoul of bad breaks of all kinds. Many times we came close to victory, but when our hopes were highest, fate slammed the door, and we never quite achieved the desired end. Captain Douglas MacElroy, who turns the controls over to Bruce Campbell, Captain-elect for '48, feels confident that with the aid of the many underclassmen who are returning, next ycar's squad will turn the tables, and with their renewed efforts and valuable experience, change bad luck into good.

l gags ' gaafeldaf Chelmsford High Scho0l's basketball team managed another successful season, as the boys played themselves into two tournaments, and won second place honors in the Suburban League. The squad holds victories against every team in the Suburban League, excepting only Dracut, and it left an impressive record whenever it took the floor. This year's Captain, Clarence Heflcr, and the team's seniors are leaving behind a firm nucleus of underclassmen to be developed next season under the leadership of Warren McHugh. They should present another well moulded team by the time Coach Hicks has them whipped into shape for the opening game next year.
