THE LiGH'I' 43 A SAFE INVESTMENT The schools all over the country have been asked to provide the money for thirty-five thousand hospital units at three thousand dollars each by buying Victory Stamps and Bonds. Three thousand dollars per unit will furnish our wounded service men with the best medical care that is offered. Our money will buy such things as beds, X-ray machines, operating tables, surgical instruments, wheelchairs and therapeutic lamps. It is our duty as American citizens not to ignore the cry of helpless wounded and the silent re- minder of those valiant dead. We will be re- warded by their gratitude to us and we will be able to say of every man who gave his life, You did not die in vain. Our school during the war has done its share. We were one hundred per cent for the whole school year of 1945 and the minuteman flag proudly adorns our wall. It seems to say Mil- bridge High has given to the causef, -Evelyn Sawyer, ,47. GIRLS' BASKETBALL REPORT The girls' basketball team of Millbridge High had a very successful season this year. Losing two games and winning seven, they held second place in the League. Members of the main team were as follows: Vera Helen Freeman, left forward, Martha King, center forward, Jean Leighton, right forward Janice Upton, left guard, Elsie Faulkner, center guardg Evelyn Sawyer, right guard. Sherry McLean and Ramona Stanwood were substitutes. Other players who started the season but dropped out were Joyce Young, Jane Kennedy, Beryl Holland, and Ioanne Freeman. The girls' team was coached by Principal Stinch- field. Martha King, jean Leighton and Vera Helen Freeman acted alternately as co-captains. As a successful season terminated, we elected Vera Helen Freeman as captain of the team. This was announced by Superintendent Roland Leach at a banquet on March eighth, which was held at the Atlantic Hotel in honor of the basketball teams. The girls started off the season by playing the Franklin girls at Franklin on November twenty- third. They scored a victory with the score twenty-six to sixteen. The next game was November twenty-seventh at the home hall with Franklin. Once more the girls won, with a score of twenty-eight to sixteen. On December seventh they played Harrington in the Millbridge Alumni Hall and beat them with a score of thirty to twenty-one. On December eleventh the girls played Cherry- ficld. This was a home game and they scored a victory of twenty-seven to twenty-five. The next game was at Cherryfield on January fifteenth. This was ia much publicized game and a great many people from Millbridge went there to see it. However, it was that night that the girls first admitted defeat. The Clierryfield girls beat with a score of thirty to thirteen. Later the girls played Jonesport at Jonesport on February sixth. We won with a score of twenty- oine to eleven. Then came the game with Harrington in their hall. On February eighth,,with valiant hearts and high hopes, the girls set forth to conquer the foe, but they lost by seven points, the score being fifty-two to forty-five. On February eleventh the Millbridge Alumnae played the girls, the latter beating with a score of thirty to twenty-two. On February thirteenth they played Ionesport at the home hall. Here was a good chance to wind up a good season with a win. The girls defeated Ionesport twenty-eight to eleven. This game brought thelseason to a triumphant close. We sincerely wish to extend our deepest appre- ciation to Mr. Stinchfield, who willingly gave his time and effort in coaching us, so that it was possible for us to have a better, more aggressive team. Coach Stinehfield made one season of basketball, one season of pleasure and happiness. -Evelyn Sawyer. '47, Solution for Page 33 ANSWERS T0 NUMBERED PICTURES REPRESENT- ING STORIES, POEMS OR SONGS 1.
