GIRLS' BASKETBALL 4,5 HIS year the basketball team was handicapped on account of not always being able to secure a place in which to practice and because a whole new team had to be organized. M- Miss Baker, our coach, finally picked the following team: Forwards, Viola Toth and Stella Nicksong centers, Sarah Miller and Isabel Smithg guards, Gertrude King and Christine Young. The substitutes were Gladys Reid, Alice Tluck, Mary Hassett, Elizabeth Flood and Harriet Tew. Viola Toth was elected Manager, and the team chose Stella Nickson, Captain. During the season we played Collinsville, Windsor and the American School for the Deaf. In every game we were defeated although we tried our very best to win for F. H. S. We hope to have the same team next year with renewed skill and vigor, as we lost no Seniors by graduation. ELIZABETH FLOOD, 1929. 28 w

Other high schools which have larger and better Glee Clubs, competed. We did not win first prize, though we did win third place. Therefore, we look to our next Glee Club to win the cup. ln behalf of the Glee Club, l extend our sincere thanks to Mrs. Curtis, who has done such splendid work, and has spent so much time in our interests. It is certainly appreciated by the school. ELIZABETH LEE, 1927. PARTING SONG Minutes pass, hours pass, fast fly the days Bringing ever nearer the parting of our ways. Commencement draws nigh, we are happy, yet grieve At the close of our school days, dear F. H. S. to leave. Our friends and our classmates we will ever remember And the good times we've had since that day in September. When we entered the portals of F. H. S. Living up to our motto of Step by Stepf, We've had our troubles and we've had our good times We've studied with vigor what our teachers assigned. ' We have worked and won, and now realize L That much more would we do, could we but rc-live our lives. n. But now we must part, each on his way Hoping to meet again some sweet day Under our colors of crimson and white So, dear school, we must bid thee, good night. ALETA FULLER, 1927.
