Page Forty-Six M. H. S. REVIEW PERSONNEL OF THE M. H. S. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM HELEN ROSS -Forward, our bright little girl with a boyish bob and a winning smile. She's the life of the team and certainly keeps her check busy keeping track of her. Helen seldom misses a basket. DOT ANGLE -Jumping centre. Dot has bobbed curly hair and her face is always wreathed in smiles. We haven't found anyone who can jump against Dot. She always increases the score. OLA PALMER -Defence. Ola is a very shy little girl but in Basketball she's just the opposite. Her opponent hasn't much of a chance when Ola's around. UCORA HUNTER -Forward. Cora also has curls and is very good natured. She's very quick and handy with the ball. Cora doesn't give her opponent much of a chance. UPAULINE ANGLE -Defence. Pauline has long dark curls and so cheerful! She makes a splendid defence. Pauline never lets her opponent go far with the ball, HGOLDIE CRIPPS -Sub-Forward. Goldie isn't very big but she can put the baskets in. Goldie plays exceptionally well when called upon. LOLA WALTERSU-Defence. Lola is a real snappy defence and you can't put anything over Lola. UADELE McMULLEN -Sub-Defence. Adele has lovely red hair and always cheers you up. Whenever Adele plays, she helps her team win. MISS WALLIS -Coach. The team has certainly improved since Miss Wallis has taken it into hand. Hurrah, for Miss Wallis, she's a wonderful sport I BASEBALL After an absence of two years, Baseball was again revived by the girls. A team was formed and after a Week of practicing, a challenge from Penetanguishene was accepted. Being late in the season darkness hindred playing in the last few innings. However, the M.H.S. team, al- though beaten by a large margin, showed good sporting spirit. Their batting equalled, and in some cases proved superior to that of Penetang. They lacked, however, the splendid team work of their opponents in the field. Next year we hope to organize earlier and prove our ability at the game.
