GIRLS' BASKETBALL The Mclndoes Lassies for the sixth straight time won the Hilldale League Championship. This season was more impressive than the rest because of their record. They piled up a 12-O mark in League play and had an overall 17-0 record. The Lassies lose three of their big gunners this year. They are Norene Lang, Ruth Grifiin, and Edith Hammond, but still they have a great team left. The Lassies' three guards-Verda Emery, Edith Hammond, and Norene Lang- deserve much credit for such a great year, because of their tremendous defensive ability. They held the other teams to a low 27.2 average per game. The high scorers for the girls were Ruth Griffin with 290 points and Mona Hunt with 246 points. The rest of the scoring is as follows: B. Emery, 175, L. Blake, 313 J. Hunt, 203 P. Ward, 19, S. Conant, 11, I. Mitchell, 8, E. Hammond, 45 N. Lang, 4, and E. Mitchell, 3. CHEERLEADERS' REPORT This year we didn't have as many cheerleaders as last year but we got along very well. The cheerleaders were Patricia Mitchell, Sophomore, Christine Theroux, Audrey DeRusha, and Phyllis Paradie, Juniors, and Camille Sicard, Senior. We decided to change our uniforms a bit. We got yellow knee socks and yellow blouses. New blue vests were added and our skirts were shortened. We haven't done anything to earn money but we expect to in the future. The cheerleaders attended the Cheerleaders, Tournament on February 11 at Woodsville, where we had a lot of fun. That's all for this year. I wish next year's cheerleaders the best of luck and happiness. Camille Sicard, Capt. Left to right: Patricia Mitchell, Camille Sicard, Christine Theroux, Audrey De Rusha, Phyllis Paradie. 29

BOYS' BASKETBALL The Middies had a very successful season in winning the Hilldale League Cham- pionship with an 11-1 record and having an impressive 15-4 record in overall play. The Middies lost a chance to play in the Vermont State Class C Tournament by getting beaten by Peacham 47-26. This was understandably one of the saddest losses the Middies had all year. The four senior boys were the top gunners in the scoring parade with Royce Pinard being tops with 393 points. He also led the Middies in foul-shooting with a .708 average. The rest of the scorers are as follows: A. Maxwell, 2595 M. Slayton, 1593 J. Gilmour, 1273 Roger Pinard, 52g J. Morrill, 41g R. Wright, 25g N. Pollard, 183 J. Slayton, 135 L. Paye, 8, C.
