She has contributed unstintingly of her time, energy, and invaluable advice and direction to produce a team worthy of being called champions.

'lhrgie' thought we could and we did! LESLIE 0. GRIFFITHS Ihen the basketball season started, Hr. Griffiths wondered just how meh hair he would lose during the season. llth the hectic hot and cold season the boys had, he certainly had cause to worry. Not only has he devoted meh time and energy to the boys' team, but also he has handled the job of Director of Athletics very capably. lhny a late hour has found him counting the gate receipts of basketball games. le suggest a rabbit's foot be added to Hr. Griffiths' athletic equipment to save him from any more of those heart-breaking, one-point losses. le're glad to have you back, Les, and we look forward to some great athletics under your direction. 3.1

ALUMNAE The Lunenburg girls' first game with the Alu nae was a disap- pointing Z3-15 loss. Lining up with Emma Harvey, Molly Hidden, and Ann Harley as forwards, and Captain Ruth Simon, Esther Aho, and Ann Jandron as guards, the girls didn't have the experience necessary to defeat their Alumnae, The first half was played on even terms, but it was the Alumnae all the way in the second half. HOLLIS Crossing the state line to play Hollis, New Hampshire, the girls came through with a 45-15 victory. The team showed signs of rounding into a fast, hard-playing sextet. The guards covered the Hollis for- wards very closely while the forwards worked their plays effectively . The subs gave a very good showing of themselves. With faced Groton in threat, the tall Ruthie Simon as footed Ann Harley GROTON their eyes on a ninth Wachusett League crown, the girls the first league contest of the season. Groton' s Jane Ferguson, was effectively covered by Captain the team swept to a decisive 50-15 win. The fleet- gernered 20 points to lead the scoring parade. PEPPERELL The second league game against the Pepperell girls proved to be a thriller. The aggressive Pepperell guards again and again bottled up Lunenburg's offense. The entire Pepperell team out-fought the girls in the first half, but Lunenburg came back strong in the second half to win 33-15. The guards seemed to have invented a new system of guarding. TOWN S END Townsend! The game against Lunenhurg's traditional rival was al- ways a toss-up. The girls played a hard, fast game and won 44-31. Polly Rutherford was Townsend's main threat, scoring 15 points, but Lunenburg's forward field proved too fast for the opposing guards. The gane was an exciting cortest played before a capacity crowd of partisan rooters. AYER hHth Ayer tied with Lunenburg for first place in the league, the next game was a decisive one. The forwards couldn't seem to click and the first quarter ended in a O-O score. While the guards were doing a Herculean job of holding the Ayer forwards down, the forwards finally found the basket enough to drop in 50 points against Ayer's 14. Lunen- burg now held undisputed first place in the league. t ' ALUMNAE The second encounter with the Alu nae was one of the most excit- ing and well played games of the sensor. With the lead changing hands many times during the gave, the girls were one point behind with only seconds to play. Gaining the ball on some qpick passes, Ann Harley raced in for a fine u der-the-basket shot and victory for the high achool.
