25 THE GATHERER BASEBALL The spring baseball season of 1952 was a very successful season. We played eight games, winning six and losing two. We played with Stonington, Sullivan, Penobscot, and Winter Harbor. The games with Ston- ington and Sullivan were close and exciting. Our two losses were suffered at the hands of Sullivan. At the end of the season, we stood in second place in the league, and won a baseball trophy. Jerry Hutchinson and Ray- mond Haskell were the two reliable pitch- ers, winning three games each. Jerry Hutch- fielder, Jimmy Brewster. With the opening of the season, we found that we had gained john Snowden, Willard Knight, and Clifford Quinn. Playing only four games this fall, we split with Stonington and Sumner. The only change in the line-up showed Dicky Colwell and Raymond Haskell sharing pitching hon- ors. Dicky showed himself to be a promising young pitcher when he pitched a fine win- ning game against our old rivals, Stonington.

The members of the squad are as follows: Marilyn Damon, Patty Spofford, Barbara Perez, Carol Woodman, and head cheer- leader, Virgina Billings. As the cheerleaders have been sharing the boys' triumph this season, victory cheers have become a constant demand. Red Hot rings among the rafters at every game, and ujump up and S'No Cheer became increasingly popular at every game.

28 THE GATHERER GIRLS' ATHLETICS Early this year, the girls who were inter- ested in athletics gathered to form an ath- letic council. One member of each class was chosen, and the officers were elected as fol- lows: president, Regina Billings 5 vice-presi- dent, Barbara Perez 3 secretary, Marilyn Da- mon, treasurer, Carol Woodman. When winter days began creeping up, there was rnuch excitement concerning bas- ketball. Our girls were in fine shape, and their spirits were high. But when the season drew nearer, the spirits began to break. We weren't sure of a coach. The matter was de- liberated, but no one was really enthusiastic over the job. Finally, Mrs. Brewster came to our rescue, and with Joan Robbins'es help, we were encouraged and spurred through a fairly successful season. We practiced, we drilled, and finally came to the first game. We were on our own floor, and we played Brooklin. Our girls easily won, 31-21, but on the return, it wasn't so easy. At the half we were leading 22-16, but in the end we lost 34-36. Patty Spofford and Barbara Perez fouled out. We split our games with Brooksville, also. At Brooksville, we lost 25-44, but we came through with flying colors at home with, 37- 29. Sylvia Howard fouled out. Our most exciting games are always the pair with Stonington. We anticipated a terri- ble beating, but we didn't do so badly after all. At Stonington, we were beaten, 18-39, and at home, we were downed 23-49. Patty Spofford fouled out. We enjoyed bothi games and look forward to playing them next year. One of the most enjoyable times of the sea- son was the Islesboro trip. This is our only overnighter, and, therefore, was even greater fun. We arrived in time for dinner, Saturday evening, went to the game, and beat them 25-13. Barbara Perez fouled out. After the game, we devoured piles of food, and we udidnlt get home until morning. We left Islesboro in the morning, catching the eight o'clock ferry, and stopped in Belfast for a lunch. We stopped again in Bucksport and a few of us went to the Elm Street Church. When we arrived home, most of us were all- in. Their trip here was as enjoyable for us as the trip we made over there. We were again the victors 38-25. When we played Penobscot here, we won 41-14, and on their own Hoor, we won again, 69-36. We only played Castine once, and they beat us, 29-33. It was a heartbreak for us, because of the closeness of the score. So closed a more than fair season for us. As for softball, we have done very little. Practices were held, but no games were played and no equipment purchased. Golf took a backseat this fall, giving way to tennis. We had no real practices, but we made a court and began leveling it. Perhaps another year, we can play against other schools. We have hopes. F .G. F. Pts.
