What is a more pleasant way in which to exercise the body than through sports? Sports not only promote good bodily health but also good sportsmanship which tend to make good American citizens. As the ancient Greeks had sports in their schools, slowly but surely are the American schools reaching that standard. Sports have been carried on very successfully in N orwell High School during the past year. The teams have not been un- sp-ortsmanlike in any of the games in which they have par- ticipatedg nor have they lost a great number of their games. The latter has not been stressed as much as the former, we. being told never to be licked even if we are defeated. ' There is a considerable difference between being licked and being defeated If you are defeated you can take it as a good sport and not as a sorehead. BOYS' BASKET-BALL The boys basket-ball team has been especially successful this past year, having defeated many teams of much larger towns. They won twelve games and lost eleven. In the tournament at Brockton Y. M. C. A. they defeated Sharon, considered the best in Class B5 won over West Bridgewater in the semi-finals, but lost to East Bridgewater in the finals. At no time in their basket-ball career have the boys been licked, In my estimation we have a right to be proud of our basket-ball team of 1926-7.

Our pitcher, Sumner Collingwood, incidentally, who we lost this year, certainly deserves great credit. Of course a team is not made up of one man, and g'reat credit must be given to all. We entered the South Shore L-eague, consisting of, Hanover, Kingston, Duxbury, Scituate, Cohasset, and Marshfield. 6 All know the results, Norwell obtaining the cup by winning ten games out of a possible 1 o twelve.
