Early in the season Marian Morgan received a leg injury and was forced to resign, while a few weeks later Mary White, one of the star forwards, became very sick with a throat infection and was not able to finish the season. Beginning the season with only a few veterans, the team was unable to continue playing as a result of these losses. Miss Grace McCarthy, coach, and Pauline Kelley, manager, and members of the squad tried hard to keep a team together but in vain. The girls played four games, losing the Whitman game by one point, and the other three by larger scores. The leading scorer was Beverly Paul with 29 points, followed by Mary White with 26 points. The girls look forward to a more satisfactory season next year. Sumner 33 Sumner 25 Sumner 8 Sumner 11 Whitman 34 Avon 37 Avon 27 Howard 20

GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club, composed of forty-seven members, started this year’s work in September with Miss Margaret Murphy as con- ductor and Elaine McIntosh as student accompanist. The Club often took part in assemblies during the year. At the annual Spring Concert held in the school hall April 13, 1945, the special group sang two selections: “Make Believe,” and “When I Grow Too Old to Dream.” The entire group sang “Rose Marie,” and “A Southern Melody,” the latter composed by Sumner’s talented pianist, Elaine McIntosh. Madel- ine Johnson and Joyce Whitaker delighted the audience with their rendition of “The Lilac Tree.” Graduation music was furnished by the Glee Club as well as music at the Baccalaureate Service.

BOYS ' BASKETBALL Sumner’s basketball team got off to an early start this year with practice beginning in November under the able direction of Coach Wade Hooker. Back for the 1945 season was a complete veteran team, which included Captain Robert White, Karl Anderson, Robert How- land, Arthur Winkley, Robert Bettle, and Walter Jennings. Anderson, Howland, and White supplied most of the offensive punch with Wink- ley, Bettle, and Jennings shining defensively. Sumner ran up a record of ten straight victories until losing a tough one to Stetson High of Randolph. However, Sumner finished the year with a notable record of eleven victories and four defeats. As usual Sumner entered the South Shore Tournament in March. Sumner eliminated Scituate in the first game, but in the second round was beaten 51 to 45 by Orleans High in the highest scoring game in the tournament. That completed the formal season for the 1945 bas- ketball team at Sumner High.
