The 1959 edition of Mater Misericordiae's bas- ketball team started off its season with a new Coach, Mrs. Mildred Greenwood, who intended to keep up the record of five consecutive seasons without a loss. Mrs. Greenwood decided that, Hrst and foremost, exercise, practice, and drill work keep a team on its toes. The work paid off when our sister school, Academy of the Sisters of Mercy, Gwynedd Valley, went down by a score of 40-33, and other teams followed suit. The offense, headed by Co-captains Patricia Kennedy and Martha McNichol, proved to be a formidable group of goal-getters, racking up a total of 203 points in the first four games. Of these games the closest score was with Gwynedd, since other teams had quite a time getting through the M. M. A. defense. Up, up and in? But there's no net!
