Not only was there the largest enrollment in the history of Plainfield High School, but the school itself was transformed. Our last vision of the inter- ior ofthe building had been one of rough, creaky floors and anything but artistically painted walls: now hardwood floors, daintily tinted walls and the nucleus ofalibrary and reading room greeted us. All of these im- provements have made for a better school spirit and the results are very gratifying. Classes were organized the second week of school, as follows: SENIOR CLASS President, ---- Roy Eyers Vice-President, - - Edna Grenier Secretary, Robert Sherman Treasurer, - - - Ruth Moore Supervisor, - - Miss Armstrong JUNIOR CLASS President, - - - Walter Dougherty Vice-President, - - Julia Lyon Secretary - Addie Baker' Treasurer, - Stanley Shumway Supervisor, - Miss Mahoney

The visiting team was handicapped by the small floor and also by Plainfield's guards, Graves and Sunn.

On january 25, 1921, Plainfield went to Willimantic, where she Was de- feated 20'-9. On january 31, at Moosup, she played a team composed of Alumni and won 50-I3. Our next League game was at home with Tourtellotte, February 4, 1921, and Plainfield ran up a score of 78-40n heroppouent. On February II, Plainfield played a home game with Windham, which was very exciting. In the first half Windham led and the outlook for Plainfield was very dubi- ous, but at the end of the second half Plainfield tied the score 19-19. In the five minute over-time play, Plainfield proved the better team of the two. On February 18, Woodstock came to Moosup. The home team played all around the Woodstock men and at the end Plainfield had won by a score of 63-16. Plainfield went to Putnam February 25, where a very exciting game was played. The first half ended in a score of 5-3 against Plainfield g but when the second half opened, Plainfield made a basket, thus tying the score. Both teams fought with all their strength and ability and the game ended 5-5. Five extra minutes were agreed upon, during whichyboth sides scored. Five more minutes were added in which Putnam made a basket, ending the game 9-7. The next game brought out a large crowd to Milner Hall, March 1, 1921, for it was the last League game of the season and was the return game with Putnam. Putnam forfeited the game in the seccnd half by refusing toplay after Ames, her center, had been put out of the game because the referee thought he Was slugging. At thisltime, Plainfield was leading by the score of 10-3. The game being forfeited, the official score was 2-0.
