Intramural Champions THE Freshmen of Room 102 again triumphed over the upper classmen and clinched the intra-mural championship' by winning eight straight games. Inexperienced but determined, they entered each contest with a determination not to be daunted. At the first' call for volunteers the response was so great that the class was divided into two teams, each room being represented in the school league. These girls learned the fundamentals of the game with such alacrity that by the end of the first half of the season one freshman, Angela Pierce, had merited a place on the Varsity team. The Freshmen met and easily defeated each team of the high school twice during the season, the Sophomore class being the only team to seriously threaten the young athletes. With such excellent playing from the younger members of the school the outlook for the athletic success of Redeemer is exceedingly bright. The champions had dependable and earnest players for every department of the game. The forward positions were well taken care of by the excellent shooting of Ellen Roach, Clara Schagger, and Edna Paddock. In the center, there were few girls who could outplay Leona Grosbeck and Violet Visger. The defense proved to be invincible due to the stellar guarding of Helen Ouellettte, captain, Marie Rosbury, Mildred Panyard and Lois McCann. Freshman Girls Seated: C. Sinnott, M. Toth, E. Roach, H. Ouellette, C. Shager, L. Risden, E. Paddock. Standing: M. Tozer, A. Peirce, V. Mendez, M. Panyard. L. Grosebwck, M. Rosebury, L. McCann, V. Visger. Page Eighly-eight

' Parochial Champions IT FELL to the lot of the team from the seventh and eighth grades to break the jinx that has been upon Redeemer teams for the last few years and bring a championship to the school. The Lion Cubs were entered in the Grade School Tournament held at St. Theresa's and proved themselves capable by bringing home the trophy. The first to meet defeat at the hands of the Cubs was St. Theresa's, the favorite of the tournament. The victors had to fight an up-hill battle, coming from behind in the last three minutes of play to win, 19-18. In the second contest St. Dominic's found itself no match for the young Lions and went down to defeat, 18-l l. In the play-off for the championship the Cubs gave all they had and showed the spectators just why they should receive the trophy. From the opening whistle to the end of the game they had St. Ambrose's completely baffled. The score at the first-half was 10-4. In the second half the Cubs did not allow their opponents to score a single point while they added 12 for a 22-4 victory. The trophy, a very beautiful silver loving cup was donated by? Judge John Scallen of Recorders Court. He attended the St. Ambrose game at the end of which he presented the cup to Captain Glenn Steffes and the members of the team. Grade School Champions Seated: P. Maher, R. Kelly, G. Steies, D. Leach, L. Doyle. Standing: C. Kolbe. G. Kolbe. T. Trahey, J. Traut, T. Morrissey. 31 Page E ighty-nine
