THE GCSSIP 35 in preparing the required information necesary for a better understanding of each child's health. Heights, weights, and vision tests carefully re- corded have been discussed and many interviews have been held with stu- dents and the nurse. The first two months of the school year the boys and girls played ball outside on the diamonds near the school daily during the activity peri- od, except on inclement days. Directed games, folk dancing, and music were offered on rainy days. Early in November much enthusi- asm was shown for basketball. The high school was given permission to use Edmunds Hall for the school year and basketball practice became a part of the regular schedule. Mrs. Munson appointed Mr. John Longmore, Jr. director of boys' ath- letics and Mrs. Grant, director of girls' athletics. Later Mr. Steve Tjaden volunteered to assist in coaching both teams. Either Mrs. Munson or Mrs. Grant was present at all of the girls' practices? and Mr. Longmore super- vised thefbo s. All the s dents helped raise money for athletics by obtaining magazine subscriptions. With the splendid pro- fits from this campaign and with the profit realized from the basketball games and the concessions, necessary equipment, travelling expenses, and operating expenses have been provid- ed. These funds have put Edmunds Hall in fair condition, ,have provided wood, purchased one new basketball, repaired one, bought score books, in- flation needles, a catcher's mitt, six baseball bats, nine baseballs, and have financed the team's trip to the Wash- ington County Tournament. The team was reimbursed 314.30 by the tourna- ment committee later and received 555.45 more as its share of the tourna- ment proceeds. Any fundsunexpended at the close of the baseball season will be used to purchase equipment for next year. Since the close of the basketball season, baseball has progressed as much as possible, interrupted now and then by out-of-season snow storms. During these lulls in training, Mr. Longmore has held practices for all high school boys and the seventh and eighth grades for intramural games to select the champion class. Throughout the spring months the girls have resumed their activities of the autumn, softball, games, and folk dancing. The faculty and the students wish to thank all who helped to make this year's activities financially secure, those who assisted in any manner with equipment or with their time, and all those who so enthusiastically encouraged the teams. The town's loyalty and support in the past years has becomefa tradition, and this year's spirit has brought all the school a deeper appreciation of that tradition. 12 dl Ik Sk . BOYS' BASKETBALL The Dennysville High School Boys' team was invited to enter the Eastern Washington County Tournament and lost its game to Calais Academy. Although the high school started a basketball team in September, 1943, it did not carry it through and this is the first year it has had a team since. The boys learned much from watching the boys of the larger schools play in the tournament and in each game of the season. This ex-

We all certainly ap- preciated it. We thank the cheer leaders, Mar- tha Sanford, Eleanor Leighton, Mae Marshall, and Elizabeth Kilby, as well as the school.
