GIRLS ' BASKETBALL First row: LucyBlair, Becky Anderson, Anne Roe Berger, Betty Jo Berger, Barbara Rorer, Jo Ann Jefferson, Dee AnnaCundiff, Captain; Miss Ruddle, Coach; Second row: Nell Gibson, Manager; Ann Haskins, Barbara Gross, Gloria Shelton, Jeannette West, Peggy Morton, Alice Faye Bennett, Kaye Eades. With high hopes and higher spirits the Climax girls turned out for practice on November 1. At first there seemed to be little basis for optimism. However, with each day of practice, improvement became clearly marked. Also several freshmen showed great promise, as did a senior who came out for the team for the first time. With practice almost every afternoon it was soon evident that the team was stronger than one would have thought. On December 2 the first game was played, and the girls proved they were out to win bydefeating Whitmell. Until Christmas they had a fine time, winning every game. Then, seemingly, the old after- vacation jinx got going again. The girls were in there fighting but, somehow, things just didn ' t seem to click. Luckily they got started again and, by the end of the season, found they had won nine games out of sixteen and were third in the county. About the only real excuses they have for their losses are the small court on which they practiceand the fact that most other teams have tall players, while those Climax girls are short, but fast! All in all, the season was better than usual. The high-scoring forward on the Climax team. Dee Anna Cundiff, was third high-scorer in the county with a total of 523 points for the season. All good Climax fans are hoping this plucky squad will make an even more impressive showing next year. SCORES Climax 39 Whitmell 36, Climax 36 Gretna 29 ! Climax 41 Alumni 23 Climax 52 Brosville 36 !

BOYS’ BASKETBALL First row: L. C. Reynolds, Manager; Venton Watson, Wayne Bryant, Donald Williams, Mr. Littlejohn, Coach; Second row: Gordon Ray Blair, Scorekeeper; Marvin Oakes, Earle Owen, Leland Mahan, Horace Towler, Bobby Woodson, Dwayne Tompkins, Scorekeeper. Not pictured: Eugene West, Phi I ip Riddle . After a very discouraging season last year, the Climax boys have made a remarkable record for themselves during 1955-56. They got off to a slow start before Christmas except for the alumni game which seemed to set them off . After the hoi idays they real I y played bal I and, by the last of February, were tied for second place in the county. These boys had to overcome several obstacles in their efforts to come out on top. There was only one senior on the first team and not one playercould be called tall. As aresult of theirlack of height, they were forced to rely on fast breaks to rack up the points. Real- izing this, they began working out plays at the beginning of the season and, by the end, had become expert at the fake and drive. The illness of several of the first -string was an additional handicap during some of the most important games. The real game of the year was with Chatham, first-place team in the county, on the opening night of the tournament. The coach had worked out a new play, those boys had it down pat, and Chatham was completely buffaloed. Atthefirst quarter the score was Climax 16, Chatham 5! The fans were thrilled to deathand certainof victory until right in the beginning of the third quarter Eugene West, center, fouled out. The boys didn ' t give up and continued giving Chatham a rough time, but it just wasn ' t enough. This team should be highly commended, not for their victories alone, but also for their good sportsmanship, their excellent teamwork, and their fight whatever the odds might be.
