26 The MICROPHONE BOYS’ BASKETBALL This year our team consisted of Captain Richard Byers, John Simpson, Alden Smith, Leroy Duplisea, and Charles Thayer, with Gene Byers, Wayne Bishop, Derwood Hill- man, Guy Brown, and Linwood Libby as sub- stitutes. They made a very outstanding rec- ord for our school, due to the excellent coaching of Reginald McLaughlin, who started the year with three lettermen and wound up the season with a co-champion team. With an outstanding record this year, Hermon applied for a berth in the Eastern Maine Class M Tournament. When the com- peting teams were compared, we found our- selves in sixth place, as rated by the point system. This made a play-off necessary be- fore we could enter the class M tournament. Our opponent in this play-off was Winthrop. We were victorious in this play-off, because of the outstanding playing of Alden Smith, who scored thirty of the forty-eight points. Dick Byers also had a good night, scoring fourteen points. By defeating Winthrop, we entered the class M tournament and were scheduled to p'ay with Milo. We lost our game to this great state championship team. Although failing to receive honors in this tournament, we were victorious in the Cen- tra! Maine League Tournament and were presented with the trophy by Mr. Joseph Devitt of Carmel, president of the Central Maine League. Hermon and Carmel tied for the Central Maine League Championship trophy, and a play-ofr was scheduled. Conflicting events prevented this. However, the Central Maine League decided to give two trophies and de- clared Hermon and Carmel co-champions. rmon 22 Clinton 41 rmon 32 Alumni 39 rmon 29 Hatch Prep. 26 rmon 48 Hartland 34 rmon 36 Carmel 41 rmon 56 Hampden 45 rmon 52 Corinna 39 rmon 43 Newport 88 rmon 48 East Corinth 35 rmon 50 Hatch Prep. 40 rmon 32 Hartland 21 rmon 37 Hampden 16 rmon 38 Carmel 33 rmon 68 Newport 39 rmon 54 M.C.l. 36 rmon 66 East Corinth 38 rmon 59 Corinna 40 rmon 48 Winthrop 35 At New port rmon 47 Corinna 37 At New port rmon 49 Hartland 47 At New port rmon 47 Milo 74 Home games Won rnament 17 Lost GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The season of 1949-1950 was a successful year.

On Monday evening, February 27, 1950, the Hermon Masonic Hall was the scene of plenty of active vitality plus thirty-nine hungry boys and girls. Oh yes, Mr. and Mrs. Dwyer, Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin and Mr. Ralph Leathers were there too, at the head table, but that turkey slightly obstructed our view of them. Miss Donna Holmes was there to entertain us with her fine music and singing, while several of the ladies stuffed us with turkey and apple pie and ice cream. After the meal was over, Mr. Nelson, foot- ball coach at the University of Maine, gave us an interesting talk about the qualifica- tions of a good football player. When he fin- ished he showed us films of football games of 1946, 1947, 1948, which we thoroughly en- joyed. Finally, to you who made this banquet possible, from us, the basketball teams and cheerleaders, go our sincere thanks and ap- preciation. Dorothy Keith, ’50 JOKES Food for Thought D. Byers: Mary, Mr. McLaughlin is think- ing about you. Can you hear him? M. Bragg: No, but 1 smell wood burning. A Reputation Kit: He who laughs last, laughs best. Kat: Yes, but he sure gets a reputation for being stupid. ♦ Obviously “How did you find the weather while you were away?” “We went outside, and there it was.” Common Sense Smart Guy: 1 haven’t slept for days. Dope: Insomnia? Smart Guy: No, I sleep at night.
