1 1 Girls' Basket Ball FIRST ROW-Margaret Hutson, Helen Del-loff, Virginia Allen. SECOND ROW-Bernice Williams, Jennie McCoullough, Miss Neosho Freden- berg, Ann Rhodes, Alice Fisher. The Girls' Basket Ball Team of Council Grove for 1926, can receive but small honors for the season. We are no longer allowed to compete with other town teams. However, not giving up all hope or practice, a game between the Alumni and School was staged. This ended in defeat to the School. The 'School Team was built around the snappy and successful Junior Class Team, which had taken all honors at the Inter-Class games. Page 4 3
