One of the highlights of the basketball season this year at Kingfield High School was the banquet given for the players, coaches, managers, and cheer leaders, by the parents and interested friends who had loyally supported the teams both in and out of town. A bounteous turkey dinner was served at six o'clock at the Universalist Church Vestry. Besides the students and coaches, guests included Superintendent john Mac- Leod, Mrs. MacLeod and Danny, Mrs Center and Carole, and Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Hall. Mickey Durrell introduced the several speakers and Mrs. Ruth Wing furnished music throughout the meal. Mr. Center and Mr. MacLeod com- The cheer leaders this year were Methel Atwood, Blanche Douglass, Doris Meldrum, jean Morrison, Louise Phil- brick, and Shirley Wilbur. This was a very successful year for them, because they attended three tournaments with the Boys' Team. In the Western Maine State Tournament they had the thrill of cheer- ing in the Lewiston Armory for two games. Our principal, Mr. Center, is making plans for spring softball. We hope there will be as large a turnout as there was last year. The fifteen girls out for basketball this year set up a good record. Winning ten out of thirteen games, they can boast of finishing the season with a string of seven consecutive victories. Six of these seven were league games. These six added to two previous victories gave them second place in their league. By graduation the team will lose only one player, Kathy Loucks, who has won her letter four years as a guard. The team will miss her good guarding. The girls who participated in besket- Page Tuzenty-Seven Basketball Banquet mented on the good sportsmanship dis- played by the teams and thanked the supper committee for its hospitality. Amanda Winter and Mahlon McMullen, as captains of the teams, spoke appro- priately and presented Mr. Center and Mr. Osier, the two coaches, with a gift as a token of the appreciation of the players. Shirley Wilbur spoke in behalf of the cheer leaders and presented their coach, Mrs. Chadbourne, with a gift. After the banquet everyone was invited to a dance at Webster Hall for which Alfred Pillman furnished music. It was generally conceded that a won- derful time was enjoyed by all.
