THE VOICE '29 Qu? -Q fax: P F.H.s N K ls ' -. 5 ' fill N Wi SPCR S ro BASEBALL, 1937-1938 OUR baseball season opened early with a game with Bar Harbor high. The men in our line-up were Junior Hardison, pitcherg Thomas Macomber, pitcher and first baseg Perley Harriman, catcher, Wen- dell Hardison, second baseg Donald Collar, third base, Gerald Wilbur, short stop: Herbert Jordan, left tieldg Earland Coombs, centerfleldg Vernon Dalzell, right field, Langdon Jordan, right field. Substitutes were Carroll Jordan, Paul Bradbury and Charles Bradbury. Although we lost this first game, we showed good organization, and after we entered the Schoodic League, composed of Steuben, Sullivan, Winter Harbor and Franklin, we won all but one game, which was with Sullivan, the score being close- Sulllvan, 4, Franklin, 3. Having won all but one game, we won the championship cup. At Bestocca on May 16, we played against Sullivan. After winning this game by a score of 11 to 3, we played Mt. Desert. Mt. Desert beat us, as We expectedg but our boys put up a good fight. Another Bestocca event which we en- tered was track, taking places in several events. At the track meet in Bluehill, which six attended, Celand Hopkins placed in two events-the pole-vault and low hurdles. We have started a. touch football team on a small scale, and have a lot of fun playing this during our sparegtime. We hope that we shall have the cooper- ation of everyone in 1938, in order to have still better teams. -Bradley Bunker, Athletic Editor. BOYS' BASKETBALL THE boys' basketball season turned out reasonably successful this year, even though, between old age and the 1937 g1aduation,iwe lost four of our first team regular players. In general, We had fairly large audiences, butuin spite of this good attendance we came out, financially, in the hole. This year, through the efforts and initiative of Mr. Jones, a second team has been organized, which played eight games and entered two tournaments. Even though we won on scheduled games, the iirst team substitutes gained valuable ex- perience for another year and had a great deal of fun. The first regular team game of the sea- son was played in-Brooksville, November 20.In spite of being handicapped by a slippery floor, our boys put up a good iight, but lost, 31-26. Other exciting first team games were with Milbridge at Franklin, 37-36, in favor of Milbridge. From Brooksville, at Frank-

30 THE Voice g ,g lin, we Won an exciting game by a .Score of 24-20. Due to the loss of two good pla.yers upon whom we had been depending, the first team did not win many games at the beginning of the season. Out of the scheduled games played the iirst team won five and lost nine, thus keeping them from the tournaments. Next year's outlook seems brighter. None of the Ilrst team regulars and only two oi the second team will be lost through graduation this year. All the boys in school have cooperated well by attending practice regularly. We hope they will keep it up next year. The men who earned letters in basket- ball are: Edward Hardison, jr., captain: Earland Coombs, manager, Donald Collar, Langdon Jordan, Carroll Jordan, Gerald Wilbur, Charles Bradbury. -Bradley Bunker, Athletic Editor. GIRLS' BASKETBALL THE basketball season of 1937-38 proved to be the most successful our team has ever had. By far the most exciting game was that played at Winter Harbor, the score being, 22-22. This year, the team has been more suc- cessful in plays and teamwork, since there were separate coaches for boys and girls, thereby allowing more time to be devoted to each team. Prospects for another season seem good, since we do not expect to lose a single team member and since the grammar school shows promise of developing good ma- terial through the efforts of their coach, Miss Pumphrey. Those who earned letters were:Barbara Eumunds, Margaret Eldridge, Harriet Ed- munds, Bette Donnell, Marjorie Bunker, Ferne Maher a.nd Adah Reed. By giving a supper, the girls, assisted by the boys, were able to earn money for new green suits. Two very exciting and humorous post- season games were played, one being the regular team members versus the alum- nae and teachers, with the latter cla.d in night shirts, the other being a handicap game between the girls and boys. Even the referees in the former contributed to the fun by their dressy Miss Pumphrey be- ing dressed as a clown, Mr. Jone.s as a young lady, and Miss Gillings as a. mus- tached young man. Following is the basketball sechedule for the season: Franklin at Ellsworth, 19-31. Winter Harbor at Franklin, 22-22. Franklin at Milbridge, 14-32. ,Sullivan at Franklin, 55-9. Winter Harbor at Franklin, 36-17. Milbridge at Franklin, 23-19. Franklin at Sullivan, 37-10. Ellsworth at Franklin, 19-22. Franklin at Castine, 15-37. Castfne at Franklin, 29-40. Celand Hopkins, a pretty good guy, Has spent seven years in Franklin high. He tries to keep the Freshmen straight, And thinks he does, at any rate. He sits in his .seat and does not roam, And now and then sees Martha home. He had a mustache growing swell, It made his face look like-, there goes the bell. -Avery and Billings.
