GIRLS' BASKETBALL Fern Conklin, June Gardner, Henrietta Gore, Phyllis Gore, Agnes Jones, Rosalee Jones, Mavis Shippee, Edith Smith, Clarissa Wash- hum, Ellen Newvine, Cheerleader; Mr, D. J, Holland, Coach, Our Richville girls ' basketball team rose to great heights on the court, and was fully as im- portant an example of good sportsmanship and a well-coordinated team playing hard, fighting basketball as was our boys ' team. Over a period of the last three years, our girls' team was twice crowned champions. In that period of time, better than 90$ of the games played were won. To Florence Gillette and Vaughn Burnett, graduates last year, should go undying credit for their loyal support to their school. Both girls were leaders while they played, were elected to the all-star team, and were sadly missed this year. Although not quite as successful this year in winning games as we had been, our girls proved that they could lose and still keep playing hard. Wins that will long be remembered were from Os- wegatchie twice, 12 to 10 and IS to 12; and from

game in Ogdensburg, the Whippets won from St. Mnry s of Ogdensburg, 27 to 16. The finest achievement of the season, and one of the greatest feats that any high school team coulcl expect to accomplish, came on the team’s three-day trip. On the trip, the team played Dannemora, Rouses Point, and Chateaugay, in the order named. Dannemora, a team of Giants averaging better than 6 feet, for the past three years and this year sectional champions of the Plattsburg area, was met in the first game. In a thrilling game our Blue and White trimmed the prison-town school team 26 to 2k, the first defeat Dannemora had suffered on its home court in five years. At Rouses Point the next night our boys won from the Rouses Point team rather easily, 29 to 17. Chateaugay took our measure on the third night of our trip, 29 to 19. The Chateaugay boys were a well coached team that seemed to do everything right on that night. In closing, special credit should be paid Carl Ripper Ripley, who, believe it or not, was often a one-man basketball team. He scored over half the team's total points for the yean. In the Aggie game he scored 23 points alone, 9 more than the whole Aggie team; in the Black River game he scored J2 points alone, 9 more than the whole Black River team; and in the Ed- wards game he scored 29 points alone against Edwards total score of IS. Carl should be rank- ed as one of the greatest scholastic basketball stars of this section. James Burnett also did great work this year, as did Tony Scalice and Bob McLeod. Dorwin and Erwin Gore, twins, alter- nated at guard and played good ball for their first year. Cecil Alguire, Leonard Gray, Ashton Pernice, and Mark Dodds were also on the squad and contributed fine playing when called upon. Gordon Hay made our team one of the best mana- gers that we have ever had. To put a striking finish to two fine season hy both the girls’ and boys’ teams, Richville Union School wpb voted the Sportsmanship Loving1 Uup , an award that shows that teams can win end still hold the esteem of their rivals.

Russell, 12 to 11. Although defeated after an overtime game, our girls showed that they were capable of playing great basketball in the Aggie game. Special credit this year should go to Phyllis and Henrietta Gore. Phyllis kept the team in the running with her clever basket shooting, while Henrietta developed into one of the best girl defensive players that the school has ever had, Captain Edith Smith, Agnes Jones, June Gardner, Fern Conklin, Rosalee Jones, Mavis Shippee, and Clarissa Washburn all won letters. Edith and Phyllis both won places on the all- star team. TRIBUTE WELL-DESERVED In the last two years, a small, hard-working, golden-haired girl with a never-say-die spirit has done as much towards Richville’s basketball success as the teams have done. At our pep meetings and all of our games she has been our leader---all we had to do was put half as much energy into our cheering as she did and we were successful. She has been our shining example. Constantly alert, she has kept us supplied with new cheers and songs. To Ellen Newvine, we, the Staff, the faculty, the students, and Mr. Holland want to express our appreciation of all that she has done for Richville. SOFTBALL In the Spring, softball seems to be as im- portant as basketball is in the winter. All the boys and girls appear to enjoy the game a great deal. Although the boys have no regular first team, they choose sides and have fun among them- selves. The girls had a varsity team that beat DeKalb Junction twice and Morristown 2 out of 3 games.
