It applied to the coaches, a scoreboard, an afternoon schedule, and the team itself. Miss Barry, assisted by student teachers Miss Flanagan and Miss Temperly, worked hard to build a comparatively inexperienced team into a smooth unit of hoopsters. Afternoon games for the great part of the season enabled the coaches to keep a larger squad and form a J.V. team. The record of the losing column, was heavy, but the three wins over Hartford. West Lebanon, and Woodstock were big ones. At a home game with Woodstock on February 2, the guards successfully froze the ball for a minute and a half to insure a close victory of 30-29, and Captain Patty Hoag was carried off the floor on the shoulders of her teammates. The tradition of throwing the coach into the shower failed when Miss Barry escaped up the other stairs.

ICE HOCKEY Over the years Hanover High's ice hockey program has been on a shaky basis, due mainly to the lack of ice. This year for the first time ice was available in Dart- mouth's new artificial ice plant, and H.H.S. was able to use the rink for seven of its games and occasional practices. This year's hockey team, lacking the experience and depth of many of its oppon- ents. but showing spirit and good material, found it rough going over a nine-game schedule that netted only three wins. Captained by Dave Duclos, the team did well, considering their lack of practice, and on occasion they played excellent hockey. lce hockey is a sport that should rise to new heights as the ice program develops, and it should take its place in H.H.S. as a major athletic attraction.

BOYS' BASKETB LL Hanover Windsor Hanover 51 Woodstock Hanover Lebanon Hanover 66 St. Marys Hanover West Lebanon Hanover 48 Hartford Hanover Charlestown Hanover 45 West l,ehanon Hanover Hartford Hanover 57 Newport Hanover Orford Hanover 64 Woodstock Hanover Newport Hanover 63 Lebanon Hanover Charlestown Hanover 86 St. NIary's Under a new and able coach. the boys' basketball team had a highly surfeossful '53-'5-L season. The record book shows an unimpressive score of eight wi11s and eight losses but fails to exemplify the fighting spirit held by the group throughout the season. After losing six of the first eight games, the team seemed to eateh fire and ended the year with a roar. trouncing Newport. Wtmodstock. and Lebanon, and establisliing all Upper Valley scoring record at the expense of St. lVIary's of Clare- 111ont. Coach Brophy had little material with which to mold a team, but the loss of five lettermen from the previous year failed to dim the hopes for a successful season. With the playmaking of Dick Stone. the rebounding strength of Al Merrill and Gardner l,ewis. and the scoring punch of Rick Merrill, Leo Estes, and Captain Art Piper. the Nlarauders appeared to be the hottest team i11 the Upper Valley when the final whistle blew.
