With an extra supply of freshmen on the squad the competition has increased greatly. Longer and better practices should prove beneficial to the team's success on our much im- proved playing Held which we have needed for some time. We are looking forward to the season with our coach, Mr. Adelino Bernardo. MICHAEL ZACCHILLI, '54 Remembering the close run for the South Shore Softball Champion- ship of last season, the Pembroke team looks forward to this spring activity with anticipation. Keen competition among candidates, whether veteran or rookie, should lead to a strong fighting team.

Girls' Basketball The girls' basketball team, co-captained by Anne Creeden and Deborah Jones, rated high in spirit, aggressiveness, good sportsmanship, and the will-to-win even in the face of defeats. We hit the win column for the first time by defeating the Alumni and then Hanover in a practice game. This gave us much encouragement. As a result, more determined than ever to score a win in the league record, we took our first win from Hanover 45-38. Another victim was Kingston whom we defeated 34-28. Out of the 14 games scheduled, we won only 2. However, no matter how the outcome looked, we never gave up. Each game was played courageously to the end. The new warm-up jackets are extremely appreciated. Our thanks to the townspeople for their interest and support. We are also grateful to our manager, Barbara Lambert, and assistant managers, Patricia Monk and Beverly Keene, who did their jobs well and to the student body for their faithful attendance at our games. We had a great deal of fun and enjoyed working together under the coaching of Miss Helen Conant. JANET WHITAKER, '54 The Varsity! Left to right, S. McAloney, R. West, D. Jones, J. Handy, A.
