VARSITY BASKETBALL Loser in four of their first five games, Ferndale High School basketball team did a complete about face and then drove on to the most successful season in the history of the school. They climaxed their campaign by taking permanent possession of the St. Francis College Varsity F Trophy by winning the title for the third time. It was the first time in the ll-year history of the tournament that any school capured per- manent possession of the big silver basketball. After losing four of their first five engagements, the Jackets rallied to take 21 of their last 24 games to close the season with a record of 22 victories against seven defeats in competing against the strongest opposition throughout this section of the state. Six of the jackets' seven defeats came at the hands of three SCl100lS1FI'ZlIllC- lin, Boswell and Altoona. The other setback was administered by Allegany High of Cumberland, Maryland. Among their notable triumphs were two decisions over Johnstown High and another pair over their old arch rival, Westriiont. I.. l:l'illll. NV. NValkm-r, lt. Sllillifl'l'. 13. Svhwingr, F. 'l'c1'm-li.

In its place there was a special team selected from the outstanding interclass members. This group of girls worked hard to represent Ferndale in the few games which they played with Richland and Dale. The basketball careers of four girls will end by graduation. The under- classmen will not forget the spelndid shooting of gflaney Mitchell, the hard fighting of Enid Moore and Mary Margaret Davis, nor the work Mary Margaret McNair has done as their manager. ll msn Urs or CAM ES Ferndale .,.... ,.... 1 3 Richland .... , .. 223 Ferndale ,. ..... 4-0 Eighth Grade .,,. , 5 Ferndale ,. . .. 16 Dale ............ l6 Ferndale ,. 17 Dale N 17
