GIRLS' BASKETB LL In November the basketball season started with a. group of sixteen eager girls, who were anxious to learn greater skills in basketball. Eldridge Elkhorn was our new coach for the season. After the loss of Joan Howard and Charlotte Weed, who were out- standing guards, it became necessary to build practically a new guard section. Barbara Perez and Regina Billings soon filled these vacancies, and Janet Eaton returned as cen- ter. Rhea Conary, who filled the forward position left by Gloria Barbour, joined Bev- erly Eaton and Norma Gray in building up a successful forward section. These players were greatly assisted by the substitutes, some of whom made excellent showings in many of the games. This group consisted of Mary Hardy, Joan Haskell, Carol Woodman, June Perez, Edna Eaton, Pauline Knight, Nancy Colwell, Janet Snowden, Sylvia Howard, and Rosalyn Haskell. Bernadette Joyce proved to be a very efiicient timer and team manager. This year we entered a league with Ston- ington, Brooklin, and Brooksville. Four non- league games were also played with Gastine and Penobscot. On December 8 we got off to a good start with a fifteen point victory over Gastine. This win gave us hope for a successful season. The new players gained a better understanding of the game, and after steady practice proved to be a great value to the team. The next three victories came as a result of playing Brooklin, Penobscot, and Brooksville. At the end of the first quarter of the Brooklin game we lead by 6 points. Eager to build up a more decisive lead, we went into the second quarter with determination. In this quarter Beverly and Norma got hot and we lead 41-20 at the half. Beverly and Norma scored 37 and 20 points respectively, for a 65-46 winning cause. On December 21 we enjoyed playing our Penobscot friends. Since they had just or- ganized a new team this year, our substitutes played practically the entire game, and showed well in a lop-sided victory. The first game of the new year was played at Brooksville. We out fought our much larger opponents, and went on to win, 62-28. On January 12 we went to Stonington for our first game with them in two years. Our winning streak was broken by losing 50-41. We lead by one point at the end of the first quarter, but they came back and held the lead to the end. We were not discouraged by losing this game, and through much hard work we im- mediately started a new winning streak. This time we added four more victories to our list. In the next two games Penobscot and Brooksville were taken over by the respective scores of 43-22 and 47-28. The most exciting game of the season was played at Brooklin on january 26. At the end of the lirst quarter Brooklin lead ll-8. At the half we were on the long end of a 23-22 score, but they forged ahead in the third quarter by four points. During this quarter janet and Regina fouled out while Brooklin was leading. It seemed hopeless for us to win with our guard section gone, but Beverly was moved from forward to the cen- ter guard position. This proved to be a very clever move. With her intercepting of many passes, and her superior ball handling paying
