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.

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.

The ski team wouldn't be the same without them. The lack of snow forced the team to pick up their boards and trudge deep into the Canadian wilderness during Christmas vacation for four days of skiing on real snow, and then to Stowe for three days during February vacation. The scarcity of snow was matched by a scarcity of wins, although individually the boys came out nearer the top. In March junior Bill Orcutt was selected to represent Hanover and the East at the Junior Nationals held in ,lack- son Hole, Wyoming. Despite a season of bitter defeat, the team did have the satisfac- tion of being the best basketball-playing ski team in the state.
