30 THE QUILL G. H. S. 29 Wu.uAMs 21 In their first game of the season against high school competition, the Orange and Black lads took the lead from the beginning and held it throughout, although sometimes only by one point. Foster was superior, scoring 12 points, with Rogers and Grady right behind him with 7 and 6 points, respectively. G. H. S. 15 CONY Z9 In a game which was played on nearly an even basis in the first period Gony broke loose in the second half to chalk up a 14- point victory. Because of the new ruling the game was a fast one, and soon both teams began to look tired with the result that Cony put in a second team which proved to be as good as their firstg but with Gardiner that was an impossibility, and the new recruits began piling up the score. Foster and Rogers working together clev- erly provei the outstanding Gardiner threats, scoring 13 points between them. G. H. S. 18 HALLOWELL 35 The Gardiner boys were completely out- classed by their Granite Gity rivals in this game. The Hallowell boys' passing and shooting were almost impossible to stop. ln addition Quinn and Ballard seemed to have no trouble at all at tossing the ball in at all angles. with the result that they scored 30 of their team's points. Although the Gardiner boys threatened at no time during the game, Norm Rogers succeeded in scoring 7 points, and Joe Foster tossed the ball through twice. G. H. S. 31 WINTHROP 30 joe Foster lead the Grange and Black boys in this game to a one point margin over the Ramblers from Winthrop when his eye proved up to par as he scored 15 points, many of them difficult long shots. The fans were in complete uproar as the fastest game played in Gardiner's gym this year went into the fourth period with a score of Z1 all. Although Winthrop's cen- ter, Stetson, was able to better Foster by one floor shot, Gardiner's Norm Rogers and Earl Gallagher helped the cause by scoring 15 points between them, and Stan Holt's foul shot completed the scoring as Gardiner went one better than Winthrop to clinch their second win of the year. - G. H. S. 14 CONY 35 In this game Normie Rogers again inf jured his knee, which proved costly to the Orange and Black. Up until the time of the injury, Rogers, working with Foster, had been successful in keeping his team on nearly even basis with their bitter rivals from the Capital City, but on his departure the Red and White started a bombardment of baskets. When the half ended, the Gony lads had scored twice as many points as had the Gardiner boys. After this game was over it was learned that Rogers would be unable to play the rest of the year. Already Carroll Grady had been lost and now with the loss of an- other of their three lettermen the Gardiner boys were to be at the mercy of the strong teams which they had yet to come up against. G. H. S. Z3 LAVVRENCE 35 The Gardiner boys looked bad from the start and all during the first half the home boys were completely outclassed. Lassalle proved the main sparkplug on the Gardiner offense, scoring 10 points, while Bob Stultz looked good at Grady's position. G. H. S. 17 HALLOWELL 35

The juniors beat the seniors THE QUILL could participate. Although these games were less exciting than the regular school games, they were a source of enjoyment to everyone. The juniors were the winners. The First Set The sophomores beat the freshmen The Second Set The juniors beat the sophomores The seniors beat the freshmen SOFTBALL Last fall an entirely new craze fell upon the G. H. S. girls. This fad was soft ball. Starting at the last of the fall the girls didn't have much experience or time for outside games, but did succeed in having two inter- class games in which the freshmen beat the sophomores and the seniors beat the juniors. A great number of enthusiastic fans went out for this new sport under the direction of Coach Doris Newman and we certainly hope that it will continue and be successful throughout the coming years. GIRLS, TENNIS With four veterans, Margaret Dunn, Har' riet MacDonald, Natalie Goodspeed, and Gloria Norton, the outlook for this year's tennis team is bright. Beside the veterans there are many prospective candidates. The schedule for this year's team includes games with Cony High of Augusta and Morse of Bath. BOYS' BASKETBALL Feb Lawrence at G. H. S.

Coach Cooper had three lettermen, Normie Rogers, joe Foster, and Carroll Grady, from last year's team from which to mold his 1938 team. From the great number of new boys that turned out Coach Cooper picked the follow- ing, along with the three lettermen, to make up his squad: Carroll Newhouse, Stan Holt, Bob Stultz, Don Gould, Earl Galla- gher, Art Lassalle, Carl Gardner, Bill Dodge, Bob Guay, Charles Baker, Rolly Dill, and Roscoe Downing. Although the team was green and most of the games were chalked up against us, Coach Cooper played his under-classmen considerably, giving them plenty of experi- ence so that- they will be veterans next year. Thus, even though this year the team was handed a number of bad drubbings, this season has served as a building up year and next year Coach Cooper should have results from the men he has trained. G. H. S. 22 ALUMNI Z7 In a game which both teams played fast head-up basketball, the former schoolboys staged a final rally in the fourth period to nose out a five point win. Norm Rogers, a veteran of the varsity court team for two years before, was lost early in the first period when after drib- bling down the floor and sinking a beautiful basket, he was knocked down as he went back into his defensive position. joe Foster and Carroll Grady helped the Gardiner course by scoring 8 and 7 points, respec- tively.

THE QUILL 31 Going into the game without the services of the last of their three lettermen, joe Fos- ter, the Gardiner lads were scored on almost at will. The third period ended with the Orange and Black trailing on the long end of the score with only 4 points to their credit. At this point joe Foster, although physically unfit, entered the game and was able to add 13 points to his team's score. G. H. S. 16 LAYNRENCE 39 Trying hard to enter the win column the Gardiner boys pushed hard, but had the services of Foster very little and were un- able to stop the onslaught. Carroll Grady came back to the team and helped consid- erably, but was unable to play very long at a time. Earl Gallagher took scoring honors when he scored half of the total points. G. H. S. 16 WINTHROP 44 Winthrop proved far superior, scoring al- most at will to pile up the highest score we had had scored against us all season. Without Foster the team had no scoring threat whatsoever, but Grady and Gallagher dropped the ball through twice and Grady also chalked up a foul shot to go along with a few stray shots here and there. G. H. S. 34 WiLuAMs 40 This game looked like a Gardiner victory with joe Foster's and Earl Gallagher's one- handed angle shots providing for the major- ity of the Orange and Black scores. The Williams boys, however, were not to be slighted and the half ended in a draw, 18 to 18. ln the fourth period the home boys lost their eye and ill luck caught up with them as shot after shot bounced off the rimg on the other hand the Oakland lads looked their best in this canto and scored 8 points from all angles on the floor. Carroll Grady, remaining in the game the full 32 minutes of play, turned in his old steady, cool-headed game at guard.
