VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Sports lfecause ofthe war. sports have been. in this school as in all schools. greatly cur- tailed. The only sport that was enjoyed in High School this year was basketball. The team had an average season. losing only four of the eleven games played. Two ot' these were lost to the powerful 'Stearns quintet. Due to graduation and the war, almost all of last year's great team was lost. There were only two letter men back, name- ly. Byers and York. Byers had a very suc- cessful season, winning the James Nason Award for the outstanding lloulton lligh player for the year. York would probably have had a better season if it had not been for an operation he underwent. late in the fall. lint with only those two lettermen and a group of green juniors, coach Peabody worked diligently and turned out a team t'ar beyond anybody's expectations. They almost won the Aroostook League. beating Presque Isle and then journeying to Wash- burn. only to lose up there in an overtime. llernard and Berman. two boys who will play nt-xt year. turned in a very good seo- son right along with Flifford. McNair. and McCormick. The team should have a suc- cessful season next year because only three men are graduating Byers. York. and Clifford. ln Bernard. Berman. Mc-t'ormick, and McNair. under Uoach Peabody's coach- ing. the team will have one of the best of seasons. Much lntra-mural basketball. was also played in school this year. The boys had a swell time. practicing every night. and each team played about twice a week. About one hundred boys participated. and everybody connected was happy.

ENG'Ll SH CLUB Assemblies 'l'his year's assembly programs have eer- tainly gone over with a bang. Again as in former years, Mr. Lambert started oft' by introducing all the new teachers as well as all the old t'aitht'uls. As is the custom. in the second assembly the llouor Society had its initiation of all the new members with a very impressive candlelight service, In the next assembly Mr. Bean showed us a fcw highlights ot' make-up. In another assembly Mrs. Fraser gave an interesting talk on the handicraft in the Philippines. ln keeping' with the f'lll'lSi.lll2lS season, Miss Adams and Miss Gellerson very skill- t'ully directed an impressive pageant. XVe will not soon forget that one act play entitled Mr, liox and Mr. Fox, which Mr. llean and the former students of Room H so wonderfully presented, as well as Room 11's play, in which Gloria Dow and Alfred Mcllonald were such good little brats. Another highlight of the year was the truth and consequence program in which students as well as teachers had to paythe penalty for questions they could not ans- wer. lu the Bean vs. Gellerson contest Miss Gellerson was defeated. tXVas Mr. Bean guilty of doing a little chiseling?l Many of the members of the Glee Club may want to forget the times they have appeared in public. but their Bach ehorals as well as Dark Eyes and XVhen Day ls Done will not be soon forgotten bythe audience. The boys' H-Ulub had a special assembly in which they initiated all their new mem- bers after they had performed in all the different rooms at various times during the day. On the whole all the programs this year seemed much more interesting than usual: maybe this was mainly due to the fact that most of the performers were either stu- dents or connected with the school. One good example of this was the minstrel show of Room 17's, which provided us with so many laughs. In contrast with this fact though, let's not forget the day when Mrs. Fraser and The gang f1'on1 Room 7 had Sgt. Jerry Brick and three of the Aii Raiders down and again when Sgt. Brick played his return engagement by leading tl1e school in singing. Pat 0'lJonnell
