Monogram Club A return encounter with the Alumnae again demonstrated the superiority of the Varsity. It was a case of Spartan against Spartan, with the High School squad successful, 23 to l6. St. Leo was again overcome by the Redeemerites. When the final whistle blew, the game concluded 44 to 12 in our favor. Another unavailing attempt was made by St. Anthony to break their chain of losses to Redeemer's Sextet. Six chagrined young women reluctantly accepted defeat at the hand of our players, 18 to 10. Animated' with a desire to maintain their winning streak, the purple and gold entered into the next combat with St. Ambrose. Despite intense efforts, the girls received their initial defeat in the last game of the season. When, after a fast and aggressive game, the score stood 27 to 25, they smilingly accepted their plight as good losers. The Holy Redeemer Girls' School is justly proud of their representatives in the athletic Held. A very successful season gave ample testimony of their ability, and in triumph or defeat, the Redeemerites have been pre-eminent. A clean sense of fair play pervaded all their contests, and the girls proved them- selves to be of the highest caliber. Although no trophy has been offered to the champions of this basketball league, our team. through its splendid record of nine victories and one defeat, is recognized as the leader. Stellar shots and accurate passing have marked their performances. Their endeavors have in every instance been characterized by a fine spirit of co-operation, and a truly superb display of courage, endurance, and leadership. Graduation will soon deprive our Alma Mater of several valuable athletes. We are sure that these girls will enter into life better equipped, through their participation in athletics, for whatever conflict that may present itself. To their underclassmen and successors, they bequeath an inestimable legacy, a heri- tage of sportsmanship. Carry on! Page Ninetyffve

Varsi+y Baske+ball The Holy Redeemer Girls' basketball team opened the season with a hotly contested game against the Alumnae. who were strengthened by the addition of four of last year's Varsity stars. Although both teams put up a splendid de- fense, Redeemer Varsity wrested victory from the Alumnae, 34 to 25. Our next opponents were St. Leo who were engaging in league basketball for the Hrst time. The red and White succumbed easily, scoring only 5 points against our 27. The encounter with St. Mary of Royal Oak was the first meeting between the schools in two years. The Redeemerites were successful, 34 to 27, in a clean, hard-fought game. The contest with St. Ambrose, who had retained their last year's stars, was regarded as a great obstacle in our march to victory. Playing on a strange court, the fighting spirit of our Cagers manifested itself, and they conquered the Grosse Pointe team, 19 to l6. The next fray, With St. Joseph of Adrian, had been eagerly anticipated since the beginning of the season. Through the thoughtful consideration of Father McAllister, many spectators were enabled to accompany the teams to Adrian: Redeemer emerged on the long end of a 23-13 score. St. Anthony, smarting under several defeats by our teams, was resolved to turn the tables this time: but a similar determination fired the spirit of the purple and gold athletes. Our opponents failed to avenge themselves, losing by 12 to 37. Page Ninetyffour

From the hard-fought elimination contests, the Sophomore A team emerged victorious. To them is due an acknowledgment for their expert playing and sportsmanship, par excellence. The first of the three games engaged in was between the Juniors and the Sophomores. The Juniors were ably captained by Marguerite Brabant, while the Sophomores followed the lead of ,Tune Kantrow. Youth demonstrated its superiority over old age-pardon, Juniors-for the Sophomores were success- ful, 18 to 6. Amid a tumult of cheering the game between Sophomore A and Sopho- more B commenced. The entire contest was characterized by a spirit of friend- ly rivalry and keen interest. The A's led by Katherine Sinnott, showed bril- liant playing, but finally. bowed to the B's, 7 to ll. In the Sophomore B contest versus the Freshmen, neither teams had lost a previous encounter. A do-or-die spirit prevailed. St. Patrick was beseiged with petitions for success, and a devout line of Sophomores filed up to the Com- munion Rail at Mass on the eventful day. Both the Sophomore captain and the Freshman, Gabriella LaCross, carefully gave final instruction to their team- mates. At the half, the score was 4-ll in favor of the Sophomores. In the remainder of the game the Freshmen played with renewed vigor, but were un- able to disturb the accuracy of the opposition's skill. At the whistle the Fresh- men stood vanquished, 32 to ll. Congratulations, Sophomores! Page Ninety-six
