GIRLS ' BASKETBALL The jiirls ' basketball team of “42” has the most successful season in recent years. Until Christmas Vacation it was coached by Vliss Vliriam est, who then left to he married. Vliss Grace VIcCarthy, who succeeded Vliss est, went on with the coaching. For carrying out the work so ably begun by Vliss West and the friendly coaching and assistance to the girls Vliss VIcCarthy must be credited. Audrey Smart, Vlary Eaton, Gloria Hagerty, and Lena Smith of last year’s squad returned, and surely their experience was of valuable assistance to the group. The most keen opposition proved to be Avon and West Bridgewater. In both of these games Sumner was defeated: 36-15 away and 36-11 at the home game. At West Bridgewater the team was defeated 38-11 and at home 18-11. Audrey Smart, the captain, and her players completed the season with five wins and four losses. To help the 1942-43 season, the veterans, Lena Smith, the highest scorer for this season, Mary Eaton, Shirley Cook, Gloria Hagerty, Audrey Smart, from the first team will be on hand to help. W ith these tried and true hoopsters, bigger and better wins can be expected.

BOYS ' BASKETBALL By Arnold Soule, Manager oj the Sumner High Quintet The boys’ basketball team of 1941 and 1942 had its best season in history this year with 9 wins and 6 losses. The team lost two valuable members on whom they had counted much. These were Charles Mann and Allan Jones; Charles left to go to work and Allan transferred to Thayer Academy. However, many new and efficient members were taken on. Two seniors, Harold Barton and George Carter; two juniors, Gordon Neal and Paul Mitchell; and four fresh- men, Walter Jennings, Francis Thomas, Robert Bettle, and Charles Richardson, have helped greatly to put Sumner on the winning side. Although four seniors will be lost this year there will be a fine team coming from the junior high and freshmen classes. One of the highlights of the season was the win from Randolph. For the hist time in four years the Sumner High quintet overpowered Stetson High in two terrihc battles. Sumner entered the Y. M. C. A. Tournament this year and defeated Avon High School by whom they were beaten twice; this was a great surprise to all. Sumner then suffered defeat from Marshheld High which automatically elimi- nated them from the Tournament. The season as a whole was an enthusiastic and enjoyable one, not only to the squad but to all those interested in the team and school.
