AROOSTOOK COUNTY CHAMPIONS Left to right: Tomilson, Niles, Wolhaupter, Bither, Ruth fCapt.J, Donovan, Bossie, Mason. Boys' Basketball The 1937-38 Houlton Hoopsters dropped only eight games during a 24 game schedule against opposition that was plenty tough. And if their star forward, Hal Bossie, had been in the line-up during the first five games, they would have had even a better record. Although Houlton lost the Aroostook League title, there was no question in any- one's mind as to who had the best team in Aroostook. This shown by the way Houlton took Presque Isle in the tournament game. In the Eastern Maine finals at Bangor, Houlton met Wiiislow in the first game, and led until the last quarter, only after a heart- breaking rally was Winslow able to eke out a four-point win. The stars of this year's team were Captain Bob Ruth, a guard whose work in the East- ern Maine finals was highly praised by many newspaper reporters, Hal Bossie, a forward who was injured at the first of the season but recovered in time to bring the team to the topg Albert Donovan, center, a hard worker and good rebounder who scored a large part of his team's basketsg Carl VVolhaupter, fo1'ward, whose sharpshooting surprised everyone, and Don Mason, a fine defensive guard who always was given the task of guarding the other tean1's high scor- er. this Houlton loses six letter men from year's team. But with such players as Tom Donovan, Leighton Bell, Earl Tomilson, and Billy Stockson along with Carl Wolhaupter, Houlton should turn out another good team next year. QFor scores see page 265 5 1

THE TENNIS TEAM. 1937-8 Front row, left to right: Mullen Cmgr.J, Berry, Jackins, Donovan fcapt.J, Mason fcapt.J, Lambert, Hawkins, Donovan. Second row: Lane, Pomeroy, Miller. Martin, Kelley, Macllroy. Third row: Roben, Bell, Milbery, Mooers, McGowan. Coach Sherman above. Tennis Coach Sherman has high hopes for an- other county championship this year. With six veterans back from last year's team, it looks like a sunny season for tennis. Back from last year's team are Don Mason, George Roben, Bob Macllroy, Frances Donovan, Jeannette Berry, and Del Martin. Along with these veterans are the fol- lowing newcomers: Bild McGowan, a boy who will fit into Coach Shermau's team nice- lyg Ralph Kelley. a good player who played varsity tennis his frcshman year. Joyce Lambert. Dot Hawkins. Jean Jackins. Clair Bell, and James Milbery are also rapidly getting into form. The loss of Ronald Hawkins. Joe Mc- Kay. Elizabeth Hogan. and Marjorie Hat- field, all stars of last year's team, will be felt greatly. A fall tennis tournament was held last year to determine the best players in school and to aid in developing new players. The singles in this tourney were won by Don Mason and Frances Donovan. The doubles were won by Frances Donovan and Jean- nette Berry. and by Bob Mcllroy and Don Mason. Other new features this year are the freshman and junior varsity squads, which a1'e coached by Ronald Hawkins. These i11- novations are good. as Hawkins, a star him- self, can give the beginners valuable aid and help to insure Houlton High good tennis teams in the years to come. Girls' Tennis For two consecutive years, the Houlton High School girls' tennis team has combin- ed with the boys' tennis team to win the Aroostook League championship in an un- defeated and untied fashion. With such vet- erans as Jeannette Berry, Frances Donovan. Phyllis Lane, Delourde Martin. and new- comers Dorothy Hawkins and Joyce Lam- a third consecutive the able coaching of bert. prospects for championship under Mr. Sherman appear very favorable. Another tour of the southern part of the state is being planned for the racket wielders of H. H. S., which will include the stiffest of competition among schools like Deering High School of Portland, where ten- nis is a very popular sport.
