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.

BOYS' SPORTS All of our teams this year have shown a vast improvement over the past. No one, having seen them in action, can deny that special credit is due the hockey and basket- ball teams for turning in such a victorious season. The sportsmanship and teamwork that any opposing team has always found here prevailed just as much as ever. The football team was not quite so for- tunate in victories, but the season showed some very good prospects for next year's team. The squad, ably coached by Mr. Willett, consisted of Domenic DeBiase and Donald Russell, quarter-backs, Norman Sawyer, Dudley Walker and Harold Puring- ton, half-backs, Ivan Reynolds, Durward Piper and Floyd Reynolds, full-backs, Philip Davis, Albert Merrill and Philip Vigeant, centers, Carleton Quinn, right-end, Iohn Trinward and Glenn Fifield, left-ends. Those receiving letters are: Carleton Quinn, Domenic DeBiase, Philip Davis, Ivan Rey- nolds, Norman Sawyer, Iohn Trinward, Dur- ward Piper and Iames Quinn, Manager.
