TI-IE LIGHT The prospects of a good season seem bright this year since the team lost only one player, George Young. Boys seeking positions on the team this year are Frank B. Cay, Milford Ray, Irving Phinney, Douglas Eldridge, Alton Strout, Richard Pinkham, Paul Mitchell, William Edes, Joseph Morrison, Arnold Stanwood, Earl Dow and Cordon King. Games have been tentatively scheduled with Cherryfield, Steuben, Jonesport, Franklin and Harrington. Mr. Stinchtield will be the coach. SOFTBALL 1946 Millbridge High School is represented by a girls' softball team this spring, after a lapse of several years. Although little is known at the present date of the weakness and strength of individual players, it is safe to assume that our girls will win their share of games. Games have been arranged tenta- tively on a home and home basis with Franklin, Sullivan, and the schools in Union No. 99. Mr. StinchHeld is coaching the team. The girls who make up the squad are as follows: Jean Leighton, Janice Upton, Elsie Faulkner, Ramona Stanwood, Evelyn Sawyer, Martha King, Maxine Sprague, Donna Burgess, Beryl Holland, and Joyce Young. We'll be cheering for you girls. -Bernice S. Steele, '48. BOYS' BASKETBALL REPORT This year we were a little late in starting our practice, but we still had a successful year. Coach Ray Stinchfield, tired of asking for athletic candidates, merely protruded his curly cranium from the Millbridge Alumni Hall and whistled. Ten potential possibilities of basketball renovsm responded. They were Douglas Eldridge, who became center of the Hrst team, William Edes, left guard, Frank Gay, right guard, Earl Dow, left forward, and Alton Strout, right forward. The other five candidates became members of the famous J. V. team which lost none of its games. They were Paul Mitchell, Milford Ray, Irving Phinney, Gordon King, and Arnold Stanwood. Joseph Morrison was the manager of the J. V.'s. The line-up of games was as follows: 49 There Millbridge Franklin 34 Here Millbridge Franklin 19 There Millbridge E. Machias QW. AJ 17 Here Millbridge Harrington 20 Here Millbridge Cherryfield 18 There Millbridge Beals 21 There Millbridge Jonesboro 39 Here Mil1bridgeJ. V. Wash. Acad. J.

Our first game here was with Franklin, a close, hard fought, exciting game but with the uncanny persistency of Doug Eldridge's shooting we won the heated battle. Next came the game with Beals in their hall. This was what we had been waiting for. The first half s-howed Millbridge behind four points, but in the second half Earl and Alton dodged around for their share of the baskets and we won the game, leaving Beals much deflated in spirit. Our next exciting game was with Jonesboro in their hall. It was a close game but somehow we lost our sense of keen aim and lost the game to Jonesboro. To show that we were ,good losers we stopped at the Mid- Way Spa and had a Wonderful time on the re- turn trip. Our last game on our home floor was with Jonesport, the West Washington County Tournament winners. Through our smooth play- ing we held the score down to 16-10 in favor of them. We lost the consolation game in the tournament to Beals, the Iinal score being 24-26. The basketball season ended for Millbridge High School by a banquet given at the Atlantic Hotel in honor of the boys' and girls, teams. Here Douglas Eldridge and Gordon King were elected captains of the first and second teams respectively. We wish to extend our deepest appreciation to our Principal and Coach, Mr. Stinchfield, and to all of those who willingly gave us their utmost support. -Alton Strout, '46.
