The team was all new, with the exception of five returning lettermen. They were: Shirley Slate, captain; Phyllis Marshall; Janet Dilday; Connie Chambers; and Susan Myers. With only three graduating seniors, the team showed great promise for the future. Receiving her fourth year star was Mary Jo Tudor. Connie Chambers, Janet Dilday, Susan Myers, and Shirley Slate received their second year stars. Girls receiving their first year letters were: Mary Berryman, Margaret Vaden, Hazel Carlisle, Brenda Lane, Josie Knoble, Shelbv Floyd, Dixie Gill, Sarah Lane, Betty June Lewis, and Helen Grammer.
