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.

THE BASEBALL TEAM. 1938 Front row, left to right: Titcomb, Bossie, Monahan, Bither Icapt.J. Ruth. Hodg- don. Tomilson, Cameron. Back row: Ireland flllglhi, G'Eil'dIlGl'. Taylor. Donovan. Downie, Ayotte, VVard. Mason. Coach Tibbetts. Baseball The Houlton High baseball team is in for a merry fight if we intend to win the league championship this year. Houlton lost seven valuable players from last year's team i11 McQuarrie, Adams, Bates, Miller, Carmichael, King, a transfer to A. C. I,, and Niles, who failed to repo1't this year. Vete1'ans back f1'om last year's team are Captain Bither. a southpaw pitcherg Ruth. a hard hitter and a good catcherg Captain Hodgdon. a good catcher and out- fielderg Monahan, a clever player who cov- ers secondg Bossie, a first baseman with no mean abilityg Cameron, a hard-hitting out- fielder. The rookies who are fighting to fill the vacancies left open are James Ward, Paul Ayotte, Jim Donovan, Tom Donovan. Earl Tomilson, Clayton Berry, Reggy Downie, and Kenny Taylor. The team will meet plenty of competi- tio11 this year in their games with Fort Fair- field and Presque Isle in the attempt to win the league flag. i 15 Houlton has played two games at the time of this writing I11 the first game of the season, Houlton defeated a weak Oaklield team. The score was 13-5. In this game all the players were used. The team looked good, considering that this was the first game. Houlton next met Ricker and went down 13-1 in an unoificial game. The team looked very ragged witl1 several exceptions. Houl- ton made plenty of errors, and Ricker was quick to grab these as opportunities to score. The big questions at this time are: can these 1'ookies who have had no experience stand up under fire and fill vacancies, and can the team hit as hard as last year? A junior varsity team to build material for the varsity will be coached by Charles Allen. This is the best sort of insurance of good varsity teams of the future. Young players like Phil Mason and Jim Donovan are thus given a year of training, instead of a year of waiting. 7,4
