Grace Beers 'Gracieu 'Gracie', plays in the forward position. She is good at sinking baskets from the side, using one arm to get it up and over. We are wondering who we can put in Gracie's place next year. We all considered Gracie as one who went after the basketball and we still wonder where she derived her 'play' by toss- ing that swift Lela throw of the ball across her shoulder. Phipps 'Lela' WLe1aW, has played two years and we are all glad to have her back on the floor next year. We like the way she rings them from the center of the floor. She also jumps center. We expect her to do as well next year and prove to the Seniors she has ability to get along without them. Evelyn Wicks 'Wicksie' nWicksie', has been on the squad four years. She plays as when she is in front of you she can't be moved without causing a part. Wicksie had a secret. We wondered what it was. But when- ball season came, her secret was revealed. She got to play her school. ciara uae sen Bell uBel1', plays both positions,' of course not at one time, back and forth played in many is nJohnny, on Mary She plays just as good in one as in the other. a guard and foul on your -the basket- last year in but see-saws Clara Mae games this season and has proved to the spectators, that she the spot'. She also couldn't be moved by her opponent. Strayer UMaryu 'MaryN, plays forward and jumps center. Mary's outlook for this years basketball was encouraged by her heighth. Although Mary hadn't the oppor- tunity to play in every game she played well and had her whole heart in her work. Anna M88 B8J'f.On 'Anna' 'Annan, will probably follow in Jewell's footsteps, by playing center guard. Anne proved to us her value as a regular on the team, and we are con- fident she will keep up her good work. Miss Mignin NMiss Migninn, the athletic director, proved her worth by converting a green team into a successful ODS. Her instructions, words of encouragement, and high aims have brought success. Norma Naylor 'Norman 'Norma', has proved to be a very good manager for the girls team this year. She has proved her worth by being at every game to have the necessary equipment for the girls when they were in need of it. Virginia Woods 'Dode' NDode', is the girls assistant manager for this year and although Norma was at all the games we found Virginia's assistance helpful. WDoden is a Sophomore this year and will probably make the team or the bench next year. YDR WATCH U HAT! Spd Mr. Sanford: 'I was watching my hat and someone swipes my soupl'

Uh- fortunately we were unable to continue to defeat some of our opposing teams. We all appreciate the splendid work shown by our coach Miss Hignin. We found her to be a clean sport and a good loser. AB spectators will agree, the team possessed vim, vigor and vitality. They loved to see the forwards make deadly shots and the quick pass work of the guards. All in all we had a successful year, even though we lost some games. Many things were accomplished, and we assure you they shall not be forgotten. Due credit should be given to the Senior Girls for winning the inter- Class Tournament. They had tough competition, but the 'Seniors'possessed the most outstanding characteristics. It should not be forgotten the cooperation showed and given by our two managers, Norma Naylor and Virginia Woods. We appreciated their cooperation great y. BASKETBALL SQUAD Jewell Lintner-nLintner' , 'L1ntner', has played four years of Varsity basketball. Despite the fact that her knee was hurt during her Sophomore year, she has prevented the op- ponents from making many shots. We hate to see Lintner leave our team. Dorothea Cunningham 'Cookie' nCookie', plays in the forward position. She has played as a regular for three years, and will be with us next year. She has played in every game, but one since she was a Freshman. Cookie has one more year to prove her ability to make unexpected field goals. She has surprised the spectators many times, and we hope she will continue to do so. Mary Jane Reid 'Toots' 'Toots', played four years, she has played both as forward and guard, but we think she makes a better guard. She is noted for her quickness. Although Toots came up against some 'tough' competition, she showed ue that she could stop her opponent from making field goals by her keen eye and swift motion.

Throughout everyone of these exciting and thrilling games the boys retained their grit and showed determination to win. Although being unsuccessful in five of their games the team proved each and everyone that they were good losers and put up a good fight. They showed the spectators that they were good clean sports, as well as playing an outstanding brand of basketball. This was attained by their coach Mr. Van Ausdale, who is a lover of clean sports. The boys appreciate his good work and wish him great success in the future. We have a large number in reserve for next year, and we hope to put out a winning team. BASKETBALL SQUAD Merlin Hinkle 'Curly' 'Curly', played four years of varsity basketball. His ability to out- Jump the opponent was marvelled at by many a spectator. He was the leading scorer of the squad and his 6'zf' meant much to us. Junior Black 'Junnie' 'Junnie', played his third year on the basketball team. His ability to ring the basket gained many a victory. His ability at the pivot position was outstanding. We will miss his defensive play as well. His 25 points at North Baltimore were outstanding. William Barton 'Bill' 'Bi1l', played three years on the basketball squad. He was hard to de- feat in the forward position. He passed well. His play at guard during his last year was outstanding. Paul Nailor 'Gus' 'Gus', played forward position for one year on the varsity team. He was an excellent passer and a very deadly shooter. William Woods 'Bill' 'B1ll', a tall lanky senior, played forward position. His defensive playing was marvelous. We wish he could be with us again next season.
