There is no secret to success. It's just plain earnestness, hard work, and a de- sire on the part of M. H. S. students to contribute their utmost to the team and school. It is with the Students that the future success of our team lies. We would like to mention that we are not only learning to play basketball. The real value is the character foundation we are laying for future living. We feel especially proud that our team is also a leader in fair play and sportsmanship. We are deeply appreciative and grate- ful to the many individuals and groups, too numerous to mention here, who have so generously contributed to our team's success. Alumni vs. High School The high school boys worked hard, but the ex-Milo High stars were too much in the first game of the season. Alumni 45, Milo High School 44.

46 THE BREEZE STATE FINALS Congratulations Milo High! You have left no doubt in the minds of Maine Basketball Fans that you're the best M team in the state. Falmouth was a fine team. They had lost only one game going into the title match: and their year's record included a win over the Bowdoin Freshmen. The team was built around a couple of giants: Iackson 6' 6 and Bjorn 6' fl , the latter being named the outstanding player of the Western Main M Tourney. It is inter- esting to note that he is also a nephew of our own Mrs. Place. After a close first quarter, 13-9, Milo gained a lead of 33-13 at halftime. Dur- ing the second half Milo continued to dominate the play and when the game ended Milo had a 64-29 victory. The outstanding feature of the game was Milo's defense: especially the work of Mickey Chase, Irving King and Mort Hamlin. It was tremendous job when you consider Falmouth had been scoring be- tween 60 and 70 points a game all season. Mickey Chase was again outstanding on the boards. It might be pointed out that since Phil and Mickey have been on the team, Milo has won 4 Eastern Maine Championships and one State Champion- ship. Now they have another chance for a state title. This year the State Champions are in- vited to .play the Massachusetts Class B Champs as a preliminary to the large schools: New England Championship game. This will be an added incentive for victory. Well done boys! Exchanges This year Milo High School is exchang- ing Yearbooks with the seven following schools. We regret that this list is so short. Dexter, ' Signet Howland, Howler Guilford, Memorandum Hermon, Microphone Dover, Academy Review Carmel, Rocket Mount Desert.
