BASKETBALL This year the girls walked off with the South Short League award. Losing only one game, the girls glided through the season's schedule with apparent ease, Mary Daukse- vich has the honor of being the highest scorer of the season and captain of the team as well. Many of the games were close in score and the spectators were kept on edge through- out the games. The only game that was lost was with Duxbury, but it was a close game which ended with a score of 31-26, The Nlarshield game looked quite hopeless at the end of the half. The opponents were several points ahead, but in the second half our girls went to town and came home vic- torious. HOCKEY The girls started off the season with J close game which was lost by' one point. This opening defeat was the result of our en- counter with Scituate. However as the season marched on, the Hanover girls were more suc- cessful and they soon took Pembroke 4-l, and later in the season again defeated Pem- broke 2-O. The fastest game of the season was played at Kingston. The entire first half was scoreless, but there was much exercise in running the length of the fields. In the last few minutes of the second half, the goals were made by Hanover, and we came home, victorious. There were very few out for hockey this year, but there was good material in the small number.

26 THE HANOVERIAN 4I-I CLUBS . STUDENT ACTIVITIES The Cercle Francais, under Mrs. I-Iatch's supervision, began the year with more new members than ever before. All students who have had a year of French are eligible to join this club. At the Hrst meeting of the year the new members were initiated. These initiations afforded much fun to the old members of the club. Walt Disney's famous play HSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was put on in French. All the senior members of the club took part in this presentation. The play was originally planned for an assembly, but it proved so successful that it was repeated in the Rock- land and Norwell high schools. During this successful year a number of regular meetings were held under the leadership of President Rose Kowalski. The Glee Club has enjoyed a number ol periods under the direction of Mr. Moulton and Mr. Yeramian the new music instructor who arrived the latter part of the year. The club made one public appearance when it provided entertainment for the P. T. A. meeting. In the 4-H Fashion Club there are very few members but all have worked hard on all the projects they have attempted. Under the direction of the president, Ruth Whiting, and the faculty adviser, Miss Stewart, the Club has had a very successful year. The 4-H Booklover's Club met in the fall under the leadership of Mr. Hatch and elected the following officers: Gertrude Shurtleff, President, Phyllis Munro, Secre- tary, Ruth Whiting, Treasurer.
