26 THE R southern division of the county, which was against Iay. On account of not Finishing our schedule on time, it was decided to play one game on the Strong High School field in- stead of three. The game was very close and exciting but Iay took the lead in the last inning and won 15 to 11, also winning the championship of the County.

The Saturday evening after graduation we all went to Strong Hotel and enjioyed'a Hne feed. The baseball boys wish to take this opportunity to thank the citizensof 'the town who contributed so willingly' to this sum of money. Although we lost Kennedy, the veteran pitcher, and Foster, the catcher, the prospects E C O R D for this season are fairly good, for we have seven letter men remaining from last year's team. We have played two ifgames thus far this spring, the hrst with Strong on April 26, in which we were defeated, 14 to 4. We had received very little practice before this game and the pitching ability of Kennedy was greatly missed. The second game was played on May 3, with Phillips in which we won, 8 to 6. Thompson pitching his hrst game of baseball, struck out 15 batsmen and had perfect control. BASKET-BALL K. H. S. lost three letter men from the basket-ball team by graduation in the spring of 1929. Three new players had to be de- veloped to fill these vacancies. We had a very small fund in the treasury to pay for the much needed practice, but we practiced all we could and won a fair percentage of our games. After We had played eight games, we had lost nearly sixty dollars, and the school did not have money enough so that we could finish the season, but the Iunior, Sopho- more, and Freshmen classes voted to pay any deficit that was made, and we hnishcd our schedule. There was a great deal of enthusiasm Formed in the school over the interclass games. Two of the Iunior players could not play on account of sickness, but the Iuniors won with a fairly large score. The following are the scores of the games that were in the league: K. H. S. Opp. Rangeley vs K. H. S. 7 26 Phillips vs K. H. S. 38 15 Rangeley vs K. H. S. 23 32 Phillips vs K. H.
