Although we had few victories, we had some close competition, losing many games by a margin of only a few points. This year the team is losing two guards, Betty Tees and Marjorie VVilson. The re- maining squad is made up mostly of juniors, many of whom saw active duty in the ma- jority of games. By next year there should be a team that will win a large share of games. i The schedule: Home Opponent Date XVhere Played Team Opp 1941 Alumnae Dec. 15 Mechanic Falls Casco Dec. 19 Casco 1942 So.
