Girls’ Basketball Varsity Left to Right: Sandra Swanson Rachel Robert Rosalie White Myra Coffin Wanita Austin Gloria Duquette Junior Varsity Cheerleaders We cheer the girls on to victory. We had a great year as we defeated Lyndon Institute twice, which gave us the Girls' Class B Championship. Our team consisted o£ Rosalie White, right forward; Rachel Robert, left forward; Gloria Duquette, center forward; Sandra Swanson, center guard; Myra Coffin, left guard; Wanita Austin, tight guard. Our forwards took good care of the scoring while our guards did a wonder- ful job and showed great ability on de- fense. Our schedule consisted of fif- teen games. The two greatest were with Lyndon Institute. We had a won- derful season. Mr. Barton as our coach always gave us that spirit to win. As of now we have fourteen wins and one loss. We had wonderful support from our second team. Best of luck in the future. 1st row: G.Duquette, R.Robert, R. White, M.Coffin, W.

Junior Varsity 1st row: 2nd row: The boys' basketball practice started early in November with Mr. Yandow as our coach. Orleans team has been very successful this year with fifteen wins and six loss- es with two more games to play. The members of the first six are Dick Burdick, Paul Racine, guards; Ellwood Guyette, center; Roland Le Blanc, Kenneth Wheeler, and Ste- phen Alexander, forwards. Orleans has for the first time a JV team that has played almost as many games as the varsity. They have won eleven and lost four and have good prospects for next year's varsity squad. We would like to express our thanks to Mr. Yandow for his time and effort spent during the past two years as coach. K. Mason, T.Racine, D.Stoddard, L. Wil- cox, G.Hemenway, W.Rice, T. Decker.

Golf The Orleans High School Golf team didn't win any tournaments this year but we had a lot of fun. One bright, cloudless Monday morning in Septem- ber, we motored to Rutland with Mr. Davis at the wheel. It was thoughtful of him to accompany us and we appre- ciated it very much. Our foursome placed eleventh with fifteen teams par- ticipating. Our team pictured at the left, was composed of (left to right) Paul Racine, Ellwood Guyette, Jack Utton--recording the score--and Steve Alexander. We hope to be more suc- cessful next year.
