Not satisfied with carrying off the volley- ball title, the class of '43 fought for and captured the basketball crown for the second consecutive year. Heated practice sessions and secret plays combined to make each team hard to outwit and conquer. Starting on December 1, scores of enthusiastic beginners and experienced players alike spent hours in after-school prac- tices to perfect their skill of passing, shoot- ing and pivoting. The night games of February 9 and Febru- ary 16 left the Juniors and Seniors undetected for the championship playoff on February 23. Edging the younger team out by only three points, the former champions were again oc- claimed victors by a score of 20-17. Members of the team were awarded sterling silver bos- ketboll charms at the April meeting of th- A.A. Ending the season on a patriotic note, th lost battle of the year was that between th AII-Stor WAVES and the WAACS, held 0 March 2. Outstanding players from the fou varsity squads were elected to these teams by popular vote of their teammates. More than 500 eager spectators watched the WAACS struggle to outpoint the WAVES for a final score of 25-21. Proceeds from the game were divided equally and sent to the Catholic chaplains of the WAVES and th- WAACS, Eileen O'Leary, head of basketball, con- ducted a stunt-night program between the halves of the game. Dorothy Wolf, a Senior, won the fouI-shooting contest, and Jean Dick, 0 Junior, won the 21 contest.
