ZZ THE QUILL The girls' basketball season opened with a 30-12 victory over the Alumni. The Alumni players were Margaret Donovan, Katherine Grimes, Agnes Henderson, Chris- tine Donovan, Bernice Hewitt, Blanche Chase, and Frances Grimes. The Cony game on the home floor was the most exciting game of the season. The last minute of the game gave us our last basket, tying the score. The Gardiner girls spruced up in the sec- ond Hallowell game and gave their rivals more of a iight than in the preceding games. The team of '35-'36 has been practically a brand new set of basketeers. We lost nearly every game as far as the score was concerned but not one because of poor sportsmanship. Our coach, Miss Doris Newman, is a U. of M. graduate.

THE Q UILL Z1 ing 43-31. McNally and Merrill were high- scorers with 17 and 11 points respectively. In looking over the seasons record we find that Gardiner won 5 games and lost 5 games. The following is a summary of the two leading scorers of the season. Mucker McNally 125 points Speed Merrill 52 points HOCKEY For the first time in several years Gardi- ner has a hockey team, coached by Palmer Hinds, who volunteered his services. The main purpose is to lay a foundation for fu- ture hockey teams. Most of the material is inexperienced and we should not expect too much of them. Fine spirit is shown, which makes it look as though hockey will become a major sport in G. H. S. G. H. S. O-CONY 5 ' In their first game of the season Gardiner was defeated by the superior Cony team, but they made a good showing as Cony had been defeated only once. For 26 minutes they held Cony scoreless but on account of inexperience the orange and black were forced to submit to a scoring attack. Bob Goggin, Gerald Harriman, and Dallas Edwards were outstanding for Gardiner. G. H. S. 2 - ROCKLAND 3 Encouraged by their nice playing of the previous week, the Gardiner locals went to Rockland and played a wonderful game. Although defeated, Gardiner showed their true Gardiner spirit and sportsmanship and only in the last minute of play were they de- feated. Harriman was the star, scoring both of Gardiner's goals. TENNIS With two veterans, Speed Merrill and Frank McNally, and about 20 inexperienced men working out daily, Coach Charles Arthur is looking forward to a very success- ful season. A fairly large schedule has been made up and it would not be surprising if our local boys should come through with a good number of victories. Charles Arthur, a former G. H. S. net star, is coaching the squad for his second year. TRACK Under the leadership of Coach Charles Hinds Gardiner is attempting to build up a track team to compete with other neighbor- ing schools. Many students from the four classes have reported for practice and are developing rapidly. The track team has a hard, long schedule ahead of them. In the first Colby indoor track-meet Gardiner earned 7 points in taking fourth place by the varsity, senior relay team, Sophomore relay team, Freshman relay team, and eighth grade relay team. The score was as follows: 4th Varsity team 3 points 4th Senior relay team 1 point 4th Sophomore relay team 1 point 4th Freshman relay team 1 point 4th Eighth relay team 1 point Total 7 points In the second meet Bill Donovan, Gardi- ner's flash, took third place in the 300 yard dash.
