They showed that it was a good promotion, defeat- ing Stonington 32-28, while losing to Blue Hill by the scores of 48-44 and 44-42.

Girllsg Athletic Association This year the Athletic Association was separated into two associations, boys' and girls', with each one having its own ofiicers, money, and rules. The officers are as follows: president, Lucy Small, vice-president, Beverly Eatong secretary, Norma Greenlawg and treasurer, Denise Snowman. The policy of the girls' athletic as- sociation is to provide team sports and individual sports for the girls of Deer Isle High School. Three girls have been elected to serve on a constitutional committee. They are: Gloria Barbour, Lorraine Poitras, and Bernadette Joyce. The association decided that the girls should play only one game a week in basketball, with a few -excep- tions, since Tuesday night games seemed to prove detrimental to the girls. This year the girls have bought eighteen new basketball suits. Through the generosity and co- operation of the Island Country Club, the girls have been able to enjoy both tennis and golf. Tennis equipment, consisting of four tennis rackets and six balls, as well as golf equipment, has been purchased. Many of the girls received instructions in golf from Max McKinnon, when they journeyed to Castine last fall. In addition to softball, basketball, tennis, and golf, badminton has played a part in the athletic interests of the girls. It is hoped that a girls' league will eventually be formed.
