40 gg THE B final whistle blew we were ahead bg one point. The final score was 40 to 39. True to our word, we defeated Wareham in the return game 40 to 36! The game was very close throughout. Wareham gained an early lead, but Oak Bluffs soon overcame it and lead by one point at the half. The second half was equally as exciting as the first. With one and a half minutes to play, Wareham led by one point, but Oak Bluffs scored six points while Vifareham scored only one. VVe we'e avenged! We wish to take this opportunity EIPXCON to thank the Lions Club for donating the wonderful trophy to the cham- pionship basketball team, and we will see that it is kept in the assembly room where everyone will be able to see it. THE CHAMPIONS. We, the boys of the basketball team, wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Dorr for helping us to win the Island Championship and the Lions Club Trophy, for teaching us the rul:-s of sportsmanship, and helping to buiil our bodies sound and strong. GEORGE HUGHES, Captain. BASEBALL A meeting of the candidates was held the first day of school after our spring vacation. John Crowell has kindly consented to be our coach this year. Guy Clements was chosen mana- ger of the team and Francis Madeiras, Captain. The candidates who came out for the team are Manuel Lewis, Clar- ence Herrmann, George Hughes, He - bert Combra, Francis Madeiras, Wil- fred Lawrence, Nelson DeBettencourt, Leo Camara, Alfred Metell, Guy Clem- ents, Baron Denniston, Leon Souweinlf, Gilbert Pachico, Howard Leonard, Al- ton Noyes, and William Silviaiflifl , At this time Oak Bluffs has played two games. The first gamewas played at Falmouth. After getting seven' runs in the Hrst two innings, werenfained scoreless the rest of the game and lost 15-7. The second game was played with Tisbury at Oak Bluffs. After playing for nine innings the score was tied, 2-2. We kept on playing Luntil We reached the thirteenth inning. This inning, although it has the unluckv number, was our lucky inning. Hughes, the first man at bat, hit a three-base hit and was bunted in safe- ly by William Silvia. Combra also got a three-base hit. The team has shaped up very wetl so far, and we expect a good season. In Appreciation Again I wish to thank the Lions Club for its interest in our schools. The trophy is indeed beautiful and is a fitting tribute to the spirit of sports- manship, and of athletic competition. At this time I Wish to thank our townspeople for their kindness in helping, usito entertain our off-island visitors.,,I alsowthank Willis Hugh fi for his loyal interest in entertaining' the boys and their friends at such a delightful banquet- at the Beatrice House. A - It is with a sincere feeling of regret that I witness the end of another sea- son and with it comes the realization that three of our team are leaving us this June. No finer, nor more loyal, boys could any coach have than these three have been to me. Francis and Leo have been associated with me in basketball for seven years and George has been connected with our teams f if five years. My sincere wishes go with

THE BEACON 39 with an impregnable defense. The score at the end of the game was 36 to 21. Our next victory was over Edgar- town on their own floor. The first half showed that both teams were evenljf matched, as the score at half time was 18 to 18! After the rest period Oak Bluffs started their usual second half czzmeback. Shots were made from all corners and a11gles of the floor. The defense was the best ever presented by any Oak Bluffs team. Every Edgar- town nian was covered and they could get nowhere. When the final whistle blew, the score was 42 to 32. Since the Speaking Contest was to take place Friday night, it was neces- sary to play the game with Tisbury an a Wednesday night. The game was wan by Oak Bluffs by the impressive sc re of 53 to 44. After this game had been played, Onk Bluffs had three chances to win the championship. We either had to beat Edgartown or Tisbury once, or if we lost both games play the tie-off with Edgartown. NVe didn't want to take any chances on a play off so we defeated Tisbury again. Our brand of basketball was not so good as usual, but it was good enough to bring us out with a 39 to 30 victory, and thus the L1 llS Basketball trophy was ours! The island game was played with Edgartown. The first half was very rough, and many fights were almost started. It was only through the good self-control and excellent sportsman- ship of the Oak Bluffs team that nm fights did occur. The Oak Bluffs boy-5 truly turned the other cheek this night! The score at the half was 26 to 16 in favor of Oak Bluffs. The sec- ond half was not so rough. Oak Bluffs kept its lead and easily defeated Ect- gartown i11 spite of handicaps by a score of 41 to 24. Off-Island Games The first game of the season was played with Falmouth on our own floor. Our team proved to be much su- perior to Falmouth 's and made up for its handicap in size by speed and ag- gressiveness. The game ended with Oak Bluffs leading 37 to 15. 1Ve secured a new rival this year. The second off-island game was played with the Junior-Varsity Team of the New Bedford Vocational School. The game was exciting and numerous fouls were committed. Although the visitors had a better chance to win because of size and experience, Oak BluEs wm by a score of 35 to 28. The easiest game played this season was with Dartmouth. In the first two minutes of play Dartmouth scored 5 points to our no11e! After a time out Oak Bluffs displayed its usual come- back by winning 43 to 16! Another new opponent this year was VVareham. We played them on a home and home basis. The first game was played at Wareham. Although we lost by a score of 42 to 32, we proved to thern that we were not from a hick town, nor did we play a hick game! We warned them to .watch out for the next game, which had nothing good in store for them. For the second time since basket- ball was introduced into Oak Bluffs High School we played an out of state team. This year we played East Green- wich Academy from Rhode Island. The game was very interesting and when the half ended the score was 18 to 10 in favor of our opponents. When the second half began, i11 less than three minutes the score was 28 to 10 against us. After this we started our comeback and by the end of the third quarter we were almost up to them. in the fourth quarter the score see- sawed back and forth, and when the
