Co-captain Wilma Gale was the only girl representing the senior class. She did some wonderful guard- ing and will be a great loss to the team next year. Our outstanding forward, Frances Chroniak, was the only veteran for- ward and again proved her worth. P. A. will still have Frances for two more years. Other girls participating were Co-captain Lorraine, Duford, Irene Huggins, Janet Sanderson, Marilyn Good, Marie Rose Lavertu, Anne Far- num, Odelva Lefebvre, Virginia Sev- erance, Shirley Beal, and Patricia Yeaton. Manager was Jeanne Levesque and Assistant Manager was Virginia Crafts. All of the girls showed greatim- provement throughout the season, through diligent practice and Miss Thomas' able coaching. Our games were enlivened by the cheering section under the leader- ship of William VanderHagean, Bar- bara MacLean, and Glorie Henry. Our school orchestra made its appearmnn at the last game and did its partto arouse school spirit as only music can. On April l2,a banquet was held for the basketball teams of P. A. cheerleaders, coaches, and other helpers. A chicken dinner made pos- sible through the kindness and co- operation of local businessmen and friends of Pembroke, was enjoyed at WEddids Lunch Roomn in West Manchas ter.

A. have many happy memories to take with them. This year's team played a six- teen-game schedule and came out on top in ten of them. The most ex- citing game and best played was the Pinkerton game at P. A. on February 9. Before a full house of yelling spectators, young and old, P. A. went down to a 43-50 loss because of a last-period drive by the nRed and Whiten from Derry. At half time Pinkerton led 18-173 at the end of the third quarter, the score was 29-26. All who attended agreed they got their money's worth. The game was fast with plenty of good clean basketball. The closest finish was the rough and tumble game in the exchange hall at Penacook. QAfter the game, one P. A. fan was heard to remark, nJust what did they exchange it for?nl A last minute basket by our

b e .I,H.E 4 seas, or E Mg1-.A,N g V g by southern giant, Earl Elsmore, won the game for us. After this beat, Coach-Lewis agreed that the South won the Civil War, The interesting events and facts that those on the team will never forget are: Sherb Ghickering's scoring at Pittsfield--28 points in one night! The team's worst injury--Captain Fife's swollen and discolored leg that resulted from a collision in practice. Everyone who saw it knew why he was out of a few games. what a shame to have it happen to such nice legs! The fight with the Baby Talcum in the shower room. Remember how Dave Hayden broke his glasses? You probably noticed that Sherb was still the last one out of the shower room even if he did have a young lady waiting outside. No one ever found out why it took Earl Elsmore so long to get an auto- mobile Jack at the farmhouse on the way to Hillsboro. We also wonder if he ever went back. Those who rode with Mr. Lewis know why they always got therefirsh but safely, I must add. Norman Bonenfant learned the hard way that there is a stop sign 'at the end of the Academy Road. Ifi you want to go,to Goffstown, don't ask Roger Beal the way! shouted, UFife, that stop sign remarked, Uwe spree Remember when we you didn't stop for back there.n Fife haven't room for-it in here anywayln how long did it Mr. Lewis, just take to air out your car after the return trip from Hillsboro? The season was topped off with a banquet and bowling in Manchester. Mr. Geramonty of West High in Man- chester was speaker. We wish to thank the business men of Suncook who made this trip possible. Iherya one had a wonderful time and came home happy and glad that he went. We must add this bit of advice. Hank, when in a bowling alley. the object is to knock dgwn the pins. Sp ends another successful year of basketball at P. A. Captain Fife, Stuart Gile, Charles William- son, Bob Wells, Jim Bates and Nor- man Bonenfant wish the next year's team the best of luck and a success ful season.
