THE QUILL 15 ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The Gardiner Tigers reported eagerly for their first fall practice with a new coach. Coach Danny Alvino, with the aid of seven returning lettermen and many others of experf ience, combined a strong, hard charging line with a swift and shifty backfield to produce a team which passed through the season undef feated and unscoredfon except by the small hut scrappy Wilton Academy teanz. The Gardinzr players opened their season against a full letterman team at Farmington, and emerged, after sixty minutes of battle, with a 9fO victory. So they went through the season, their spectacular playing sometimes winning by only a single score. At the end of the season the team not only won the Kennebec Valley championship but were also presented with jackets by a group of inter' ested townspeople, and with a beautiful trophy lay the Gardiner Lodge of Elks. When the allstate team was picked, Charles Mooradian was named on the first team, and Linwood Jackson and Raymond Kidder on the reserves. Special mention was given to Robert Leavitt, Lawrence Hersom, Richard Giberson, Albert Giberson, and Bertrand Hoyle. Those receiving letters and jackets were Donald MacDonald, Charles Mooradian, Lin' wood Jackson, Robert Leavitt, Raymond Kidf der, Winston Hoyle, Lawrence Hersom, Rich' ard Giberson, Albert Giberson, Robert Bailey, Kenneth Wing, Merton Kilgore, Stanley Dill, Sheldon Kidder, james Gingrow, Norman Hersom, Bertrand Hoyle, Richard Foye, james Desmond, Fred Moody, Thomas Kelly, Theo' dore Dale, Bert Lasselle, Hollis Eastman, John Hurley, and managers Jerome Monaghan and Wilson Roberts.

They fought hard every minute of every game, and every team they played, whether that team was victorious or defeated, knew it had been in a hockey game. The boys played outstandingly against W'aterville and Lewiston, being beaten by Waterville ifl in the first game and showing a 5f5 tie in the second. The Gardiner pucksters led both Waterville and Lewiston all the way in the second games only to be tied by Waterville and beaten by Lewiston in the last two minutes of play. Much praise must be given to Jimmy Gin' grow for his spectacular playing in the line and two defense men, Bert Hoyle and Doc Hersom, these two boys being considered two of the best defense men in the state. There were many underfclassmen on the team who showed that they could handle a puck success' fully, so the team should have a good season next year. Those who received letters were James Gingrow, Lawrence Hersom, Everett Mansir, Bert Hoyle, Vv'inston Hoyle, Hubert Thayer, Dick Giberson, Richard Cusick, Hartwell Marston, Norman Hersom, Bob Rainey, Palmer Hinds, jr., and Manager Perley Betts.

The officers elected were president, John Bailey, vicefpresident, Francis Brown, secretary and treasurer, Lucille Buckley, representative to the Student Council, Ann Hathaway. The freshmanfsophomore reception took place September 27. It was a new experience to the freshmen and the sophomores looked forward to the event with as niuch anticipaf tion as last year. The annual Dramatic Club tryout was held and the sophomores chosen were Dorothy Calderwood, Richard Hammond, Weston Hamlin, and Linwood Peaslee. Dorothy Calf QUTLL derwood, Ann Hathaway and Vxfeston Hamlin took part in the Athletic Fair plays. All did well. Ann Hathaway's ability as an actress was outstanding. The sophomores and freshmen combined their tables at the Fair, and we had fancy work and other articles. The decorating was exceptionally good this year, the color scheme being yellow and white and red and white. We had a large number of boys from our class on the football team this year. Norman Hersom won his letter. FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman class held its Hrst meeting September 20 for the purpose of electing offif cers. The following were chosen: president, Calvin Bailey, vicefpresident, Fred Traftong secretary-treasurer, Mary Anne Dineen, rep' resentative to the student council, Ruth Ann Looke. The annual freshmanfsophomore reception was held September 27 in the gymnasium, which was colorfully decorated in red and yellow, the colors of the two classes. Games were played under the direction of Mr. Danf forth and were enjoyed by everybody. At the Athletic Fair the freshmen had a white elephant table which was decorated with red and white, the class colors. A brightly lighted Christmas tree stood at either end of the table. This table was very profitable. 1i The idea for the tacktack designs used for the senior fortunes originated with Perley Betts and was carried out by a committee of senior members of the QUILL STAFF. For several of the snapshots for our sport page we are indebted to Clarence McKay of the class of 1940, who also drew the design for our seal last year. Thomas Kelley drew the designs for the center of the sports scene at Crowley's. page and for the little The design for the cut at the head of the jokes section was made by Robert Demers of the freshman class.
