BOYS' ATHLETICS FllOTBALL Owing to the shortage of hoys and the 6 man foothall teams in the state, foothall was eliminated last fall. GAMES Because our fuel supply ran out, the Bas' kethall schedule had to he cut, leaving only half of the games for the lvlechanic Falls cagers to play. Although the Wildczits won only three out of nine games in the season of 144 and '45, things look hrightcr for the future as the Freshmen and Sophof mores are looking good and few Seniors are to he lost from this year's team. The first string was as follows: Forwards: Palmi DeBiase, Donald Russell, Gerald Gammon, Vernal Duchette. Centers: Bill Wheeler, Richard Sargent. Guards: Norman Faunce, Charles Def Biase, Raymond Ahhott. Here, the haskethall team would like to salute Dave Bryant who left our school and squad to join the Navy just hefore the sea' son opened, and Donald Russell and Bill Wl1eele1', who left during the season. B,xsEBALL Under the supervision of Coach Jordan we should have a very reliahle team, Capahle of winning a good percentage of the games. Speaking for the sport department and all of the participants we sincerely thank all those who made this year so successful. CHARLES DEBIASE '45
