The remaining points were distributed among the other 3 forwards; Linnea Farhm, Theresa Cabana, and Nancy Lloyd. The team’s guards, including Eleanor Myhaver, Irene Ledgere, Meredith Blodgett, and Stella Bourgoine, had an exceptiona1ly good defense this year; thereby, making the forwards’ task easier. The starting lineup was as follows: Co-captains Linnea Farhm and Eleanor Myhaver, Joan Picard. Meredith Blodgett, Irene Ledgere, and Leona Ellinwood; however, this did not re- main uniform for the entire season. Janice Dolan, Faith Myhaver, and Jean Guinard also saw action this year. Much praise must be given to the manager, Gail Faunce, and assistant manager, Margaret Egan. The girls began the season by defeating Appleton (52-17), but they lost their next two games to Antrim (25-38) and (37- 56). Peterborough’s second victory was over Milford (41-34). The girls were defeated in their next game by Conant (46-59). The girls’ team surprised everyone and won all the remaining games by defeating Goffstown (44-22), Keene J. Y.’s (51-31), Goffstown (45-27), Milford (55-41), Conant (84-64), and Apple- ton (44-41). The team accredits its success to its coach, Mrs. Norma Davis, and a wonderful group of girls. The graduating mem- bers of this year’s team are Linnea Farhm, Eleanor Myhaver, and Joan Picard.
