The team, coached by Mrs. Caroline Potter, was composed of twenty-one girls most of whom were underclass- men. Practice was held every Monday evening and an additional practice was given prior to a performance at the basketball games. The outfits worn by the team this year were yellow suits with cir- cular skirts. The season was climaxed at the Farmer City game, Febru- ary 24, when Mary Anne Graning, Wanda Harvey, Bertha Belle Poindexter, and Bertha Williamson added a comical note to the routines by being dress- ed in gym suits reminiscent of the gay 90's with middy blouses, black bloomers, floppy tennis shoes, and ribbons in their hair. Their antics brought many a laugh from the spectators. Two-year letters were received by Shirley Williams, Dorothy Var- boncoeur, Thelma Mears, Rosemary Billings, Lola Corry, Darlene Gran- ing, Alma June Brown, and Bertha Belle Poindexterg and three-year awards were given to Mary Anne Graning, Wanda Harvey, and Bertha Williamson. The agility of the members of the Tumbling Team has grown to be admired by all who have seen them- perform at the home basketball games. THE HOOP and a spontaneous cheer from the crowd indicated the Maroons had made another basket. After a sluggish start, the team came through with eight wins for the season, and several of the losses were by such close margins that the boys had a moral victory even in defeat. To give you the high points of the season, we shall relay a brief rundown of the games. twenty six

SAYBROOK took an early lead to win our first game on the hard- wood. The Comanches were led by Hawthorne who bucketed 17 points. FARMER CITY spelled defeat to LeRoy on the Moore High School gym floor through their height and rebounding power. Trailing by 13 points as the final two-minute period began, the Maroons pulled to within 9 points before the horn proclaimed the end of the game. GIBSON CITY defeated LeRoy in a non-conference game, which was close all the Way. Hillard was high scorer with 14 points. WELDON-DE LAND went down before the inspired Maroons to bring our first victory to LeRoy High for the year. The D-W Eagles came close in the third quarter but did not overpower the Maroons. FISHER was aroused to a final scoring spree which caused another defeat to home talent. The Maroons were only two points behind at the half, however. Hillard was again high man with 20 points. MAHOMET was our first victory in the Sangamon Valley Conference tournament. LeRoy came from behind to nip them in an overtime period. Simmons was high with 16 points. FARMER CITY overpowered LeRoy in the S. V. C. finals, making us the second-place winners in the tourney. The Maroons caused an upset in the first quarter by leading 11-9 but were behind 21-15 at the half. The high scorer, Morrissey from Farmer City, led with 22 points. MANSFIELD dropped LeRoy in an unexciting game. Manuel led the victors with 23 points. HEYWORTH was an easily downed opponent for LeRoy on the local floor. The Maroons held a 22-12 lead at half time and were never pressed throughout the rest of the game. Stills led the scoring column with 10 points to his credit. MCLEAN had some trouble with LeRoy the first half with LeRoy leading 11-9 at the end of the first quarter. The Row l-K. Forrest. J. Henson. P. Weber. J. Caywood. K. Walden. D. Varboncoeur. Row 2-B.
