Girls Basketball Report This year we had no divided groups in basketball; instead we had one squad. This seemed to work out much better than having first and second teams, for the girls had a very successful year. Dorothy and Doris Morgan and Irene Alarble made their share of the baskets. Annella Card and Barbara Iveson did exceptionally well playing, when one considered their handicap of being so much shorter than their op- ponent. Marjorie Smart, Marie Smith, and Clara Colburn made up the three guard combination. Other guards who saw action were Ruth Weatherby, May Eaton, Audrey Smart, and Pauline Albonetty. Guards were plentiful, while forwards were scarce. While we didn’t win all our games, we did win enough to be able to be proud of this year’s team. This year we lose a few of the more experienced girls: Dorothy and Doris Morgan, Marie Smith, Barbara Iveson, and also our manager and time-keeper, Geraldine Kelly and Nancy Cook. But to replace these we have new mem- bers who look promising and undoubtedly many freshmen will appear at practice.

THE ECHO 25 GYM There was a good response to the Boys’ and Girls’ Gym Squads this year in spite of the fact that we only have our annual Demonstration as an incentive. While many of the larger schools have Gym teams, we do not find any in our class to compete with. The annual Demonstration held April 5 was very well attended, and the squads did some excellent work. The cup for the best all-around work among the girls was won by Betty Jennings. Second place by Annella Card, and third place by Charlotte Bagley. Alice Bestoso won the Freshman award. In the boys’ competition Richard Quincy did some fine work to win the trophy; Harry Spieler placing second, and John Haggai third; Gordon Neal taking first place in the Freshman competition. The boys entered in the Massachusetts State Gym Meet held at Braintree, and Quincy won third place for us. Lynn English won first; Braintree, sec- ond; and Sumner, third which is very good considering the difference in size and facilities of the schools. Later in the season the combined Squads enter- tained a group from Boston under Mr. E. Koening instructor at B. U. and Fitchburg. The girls’ squad was very large this year, and the competition was very keen and close. The boys will feel the loss of Spieler and Quincy, and the girls will feel the loss of Betty Jennings, but with the aid of the new mem- bers next year we should see another creditable squad.
