KsLiUf First row: Carolyn Smith, Mary Simms, Lucille Mills, Joan Tyson, Ann Merritt, Hilda Powers, Betty Leadbetrer, Mary Jo Hall. Second row: Ottellia Teibel, Assistant Manager, Louise Mills, Harriet Packard, Jerry Lee Haley, Carlene Mitchell, Miss Hodgson, Ann Turner, Corrie Gillespie, Shirley Hall, Pat Blair, Manager. When our coach, Miss Hodgson, called for basketball practice this year, she was very pleased to find forty girls showing interest by reporting. The same old handicap of not having a gymnasium made it rough going for the girls; however, it can never be said that this kept the spirit of our Eaglettes down. Maybe our scores were not too good, but it was the fun of playing that kept the girls interested. We feel that with so much interest on the part of the students and with the prospeas of our new gymnasium, the Henry Clay Eaglettes will be hard to beat next year. 45

First row: Polly Ayers, Manager, Carlene Mitchell, Diana Curtis, Shirley Mallory, Janet Geis, Anne Merritt, Anne Turner, Carolyn Smith, Joan Tyson, Hilda Powers, Betty Lead- better, Corrie Gillespie, and Miss Hodgson. Second row: Lois Attkisson, Jean Mallory, Betty Lou Sykes, Pat Blair, Louise Teibel, and Marie LaFoon, Manager. Another season has passed and the Eaglettes of Henry Clay have completed another successful year with three wins and one tie. With only eighteen girls out for the squad, we take our hats off to them for keeping fine spirit and sportsmanship. Monogram winners who returned this year were Joan Tyson, Anne Turner, Hilda Powers, Anne Merritt, Ann Mallory, Janet Geis, Carolyn Smith, and Corrie Gillespie. We are very sorry we are going to lose some of our star players: Ann Mallory, who held down right fullback; Betty Leadbetter, our plunging right inner; Anne Merritt, our fast left wing; Janet Geis, who was always there to back up the forward line, and last but not least Carolyn Smith, our impassable goalie, who played a large part in keeping the opposing team’s score down. With most of our starting lineup leaving this year, we still have the rest of our players, good will and determination to keep our record un- defeated. 44
