Fi C1 me C:-:I :The 1952, mm Magiciazl Girls, Basketball BRADFORD at JEWETT At Mt. Iewett on Feb. 9, Mt. Iewett and Bradford met again, but with- out the service of Max Rafferty they were unable to win. The game ended with a score of 38-23. IEWETT at SHEFFIELD Cn Feb. 12, Iewett met another defeat when they went to Sheffield. They completely forgot team work and without Virginia Challstrom our center work was lost. It was the team's off night and the game ended with a score of 24-6. IEWETTI at KANE They again met defeat at the hands of Kane on March 1. Both guards were put out on fouls and the final score was 26-10. EMPORIUM at IEWETT On the following Friday, March 4, Emporium came to Mt. Iewett. But it seemed fate was against the locals. Having good pass work and the good forwards, it did not seem right that we should lose. But the score was 11-8 in favor of Emporium. IEWETT at RIDGWAY Too bad but Iewett just couldn't get going. The team just forgot all idea of team work. And the game finished with the score of 35-12. IEWETT at ELDRED This being the last game of the season, lewett thought it not more than right to bring back a victory to Mt. Iewett High. It was the roughest game of the season. But the final score was 27-22 in favor of the hard fighting Gold 8 White lassies. - LETTERMEN ELEANOR MELLANDER Elly was exceptionally good when it came to foul shots. She couldn't be beat. Though small, she was alert and always ready to do her bit to fight on for victory. Eleanor is a Senior, so Iewett must find another forward for next season. VIRGINIA CHALLSTROM Gin is easily recognized as being the biggest member on the squad. She was a sub during her Freshman year. The next two years she attended DuBois High School. This year she came back to fight for Iewett. Gin's slogan was Never Say Die. She and Coon ranked as the best center and side center in the league, even though Virginia did not always get the tip-off. She is a Senior, and it will be hard to fill her place next season. BETTY CooN UD. B. or Coon has proved that a Freshman is as good as an upper- classman any day. Try and find a better side center anywhere than Coon . She and Challstrom's passwork was incomparable. The squad has a fairly encouraging outlook, since Coon has three more years of basketball. What will she be when she's a Senior! Fiffy Two T is

I-313 q I3 il L-A l'he 1952 !VX'a.Q,i::1 arll Girls' Basketball MAXINE RAFFERTY Try and find a better sport than Max . Though Max was nearly always put out on fouls she was always on hand to hold the opposing for- ward down. Max was our captain. She certainly exposed her power of leadership in Eldred. Maxine, a Iunior, always cheered the team up whenever they needed it, and they did at times, K FRANCENA MALMROSE What's the team without Frank? When Frank and Max got started, the opposing forwards didn't have a chance. This is Frank's third year as a letterman, and she surely has deserved it. She is also one of next season's brightest outlooks. Rosm RicH A Though Rosie was not on the regular line-up she was always ready to fill in for Max or Frank . This she did very efficiently. This is Rosie's second year as a letterman. She is a Iunior and will be back next year to help Francena. Doms MELLANDER Doris aided her sister, Eleanor, in the position of forward. Doris was the smallest member of the squad, but that didn't make any difference. She was always on the spot to do her share. Doris is a Sophomore, with two years ahead of her to show her skill. RuTH NELSON 'ARuthie was coming along in great condition to help us on to victory. But the fates decreed differently. Ruthie had the misfortune to injure her knee in the Emporium game. Ruthie will be back next year to play doubly hard and help the team on to victory. MILDRED ECKSTROM Min is the third Senior girl that got a letter this year. She started playing after Ruthie was hurt and she very capably filled the position. This was Min's first and last year of Varsity Basketball, much to our regret. This forward position will be hard to fill next year. THELMA GILKEY--coAcH Where can a better coach than T. D. be found? She always pushed us on with Come on, Gang! You can do it! Out of our respect for her, we'd do our best. This was T. D's first year as coach, and will do her very best to put forth a better team next year than this year's. Good luck, T. D. You deserve it! - ,,., , TTT QTTSEQ1. Fifty Three -All 'X i' ,N
