She was always there to catch the ball at the critical moment! She always plays a hard game and very often she uses up her alloted number of bumpings and has to finish the game on the bench. We hope to see her in the games next year. Pauline Reynolds-Penney has one more year on the team and great things are expected of her. She is one of our fighting guards, that never gives up, never stops regardless of how the score stands. She is a clever and skillful player and plays with her heart in the game. Thelma Kell-Kelly, our sub guard, was called upon to fill the vacancy marry times and she proved a valuable player. She has had experience that will serve her well and we welcome her back next year. Helen Mounts-Kitty was a sub and this being her first year she did not get to play in very many games. Although her smiles never failed to give encouragement to the team. She is to be commended on her good work. Nova Hooker-Hook played on the second team the whole year, but that was no sign she couldn't play basket ball. She is only a Sophomore and in two more years she should be able to make the best sit up and take notice. Velva Harmon-Dimples was rather handicapped by her size, but she made up the balance by her lighting spirit. This was Dimples' first year, but she developed and learned basket ball rapidly. We expect great things from. her next year. Thanks must be given to Ethel Newton, Ida Utterback, Louise Mills, Violet Wells, and Lillian Harmon for their help this year in practicing with the team and being' faithful even if they weren't regulars. More will be expected of them next year on the regular team. LOLAVE BRENTON. Page Twenty Seven l
