Accordingly, everything took on a different aspect, including our haskcthall season. To conform with government request, the Erie County League was formed into four separate groups of four teams apiece. Fairview found itself in a tough Section l with Millcreek, West Springfield, and Girard as their opponents. We played each of these teams four times, and though the season was not too successful in the won and lost column, the hoys had a lot of fun and appreciated heing ahle to play interfscholastic haskethall in this present emergency. Fairview started its season with the return of hut three lettermen and a scarcity of ref serves. Much credit must he given Mr. Amendola for his untiring efforts in aiding the hoys and giving so much of his time in what others thought was a lost cause, hut he developed a spirit of cooperation and fire that will stay with the hoys under his guidance. With a little more height, and the hope that there will he haskethall again next year, Fairview should come through with its tirst championship since it inaugurated this sport. This year's lettermen were: Seymour Baskin and Mert Hinkle, the only graduating members, and Bill Walker, Don McCray, Ben Levy, Don Buseck, Ray Waldo, and Ore Weisliugel. Much credit also to other memhers as: Boh Levy, Don Miller, Norman Horowitz, Mgr. letterman Del Cochran, and other managers, Dick Walker and Ed Yarrington. Page Z1

The season reached a point of high intensity and rivalry at the end when the seniors, juniors, and sophomores, ended in a threefway tie for the championship. This came about when the three involved teams had two victories and one loss apiece, while the freshman team lost all encounters. A playfoif was agreed upon in which the juniors were pitted against the sophomores, as the seniors drew a bye. The sophomores came through victoriously to enter the finals against the senior team. In this game, the sophomores were also triumphant and marched off with a wellfdeserved championship for the 194243 intrafmural basketball league. GIRLS' INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL For the past few years, interfclass basketball has been entirely forgotten by the girls. This year however, due to gas rationing, the schools were divided into four leagues rather than two. This put us in a league with Millcreek, Girard, and Springfield. The only school here which had a girls team was Girard, so it was decided that there would be only intra' mural games between the four classes of our school The first game saw the junior class evenly matched against the senior class. After the battle, the juniors were victorious, 12fl0. The second game proved that the freshmen had a better team than the sophomores as the former won, 194. Since the juniors and the freshmen had been the winners of the two previous games, they were to battle it out for the championship. On Jan. 29, the game was played with both teams struggling to defend their classes. The juniors collected twelve points in the first half and were successful in making three more baskets in the second half, while the freshmen could only manage to garner a total of ten points in all. Thus, the juniors became the champions of the 194243 girls' intrafmural league. Page 22
