BOYS, VARSITY BASKETBALL Mr. Harry Botsford, a graduate of Boston University, was the coach of the team this year. He replaced George Taylor, who left Milford to serve at Rochester, New Hampshire. Lost through graduation from last yearis team were Russ Philbrick, Ed Trentini, and Dick Morell. Arthur Comolli, though a veteran senior this year, was unable to play due to a skin infection. The boys did not have as successful a season as last year, nevertheless they made a good record. They won twelve games and lost eight during the season. They missed qualifying for the State Tournament by one game. At the Townsend Tournament they won their first game but were eliminated in the second by the ultimate champions. They finished second in the Mon- adnock League. They will lose three regulars through graduation: center, Dick Brown, forward, Ralph Stinson, and guard, Dennis Comolli from this yearis team. Prospects are bright, however, for next year with two-year veteran Tom Forsyth, plus regulars Bob Fraser, Bones Germino, and Ioe Villane. The second team and Jayvees will give valuable help.

THE SENIOR YEABBOOK GIRLS' IUNIOR VARSITY Front row, left to right: Ieanette Sylvester, Cecilia McEntee, Norma Saraceno, Ioan How- ard, Josephine DiSanto, Betsy Haskell. Back row. left to right: Carmclla Crasso finan- agerl, Doris McCormick, Charlotte Erikson, Barbara Mcctalf, Ann Liberty, Theresa Luongo, and Coach tlanice Cook. GIRLS, IAYVEE BASKETBALL Our jayvee team this year showed great promise. They played several games, and some of the players are regarded as potential stars. Betsy Haskell has shown ability to hit the hoop with deadly accuracy and with another year of experience will be a hard girl to keep track of on the court. Rumor has it that she may prove a capable replacement for the big vacancy left by Sa11dy,' Hutchinson. Doris McCormick has also proved herself on the basketball court. Fast and accurate, she is considered the kind of player to have around when the going is rough. If she continues to be as outstanding next year as she was this year, she will undoubtedly earn a well-dese1'ved spot on the varsity squad. ln the backcourt, Phine', DiSanto has been playing a good, hard, clean game. Alert and always in the game, she has improved a g1'eat deal this past season. It is hoped that with a little more experience she will be able to fill janet Carpentiere's shoes. All other members of the Iayvee squad are hard-working girls who play a good clean game. They deserve a happy and successful season next year. The best of luck to a team of good basketball players,
