THE TIGER LILY Other girls who deserve mention for their faithful practice are Mary Moore, Doris Tauscher, and a large squad of active freshmen.

The seniors, playing and winning two games, became the class champions. The sophomores put up a good fight and lead in points by playing four games. The senior games were of little interest as the upper group out-scored and out-played their opponents by defeating the juniors 13-2 and the sophomores 17-0. In the junior-sophomore game which was the most exciting of the season, the juniors barely nosed out a 7-5 score. The game was fast and the competition was keen. The sophomores defeated the freshmen on February 5 by a score of 15-2 and again on February 28 by a score of 34-1. However, the Freshies put up a game fight and were good sports.

THE TIGER LILY The following night, February 2, Mt. Jewett handed the girls a defeat of 10-26. Three games in three nights left the Port girls dead on their feet. On February 8, the game at Shinglehouse was won by Port by a score of 20-16 in spite of the large floor. The Olean Tri-Hi-Y played us on February 15, and were beaten by a small margin of one point. This was another two-court game in which Port gained control. Shinglehouse then invaded Port on February 21, and defeated a very much surprised Port team by the score of 17-15. On February 26, the Port girls suffered a severe defeat at the hands of Mt. Jewett. The girls from the higher parts proved their superiority in every way and bounced circles around Port. Although beaten, everyone from Port enjoyed the “eats” after the game. Mt. Jewett lassies were worthy opponents and “grand sports.” A post-season game was lost to Olean Tri-Hi-Y at Olean on March 13. by a 15-22 score. The ride didn’t agree with us; in fact, nothing did, and the game was a sombre, uneventful, slow affair. Not bad swimming afterwards, though. The Seniors Mary Barnett, who has been on the varsity four years, proved herself very deserving of the position of captain this year. “Baimey” has been our star forward, playing an exceptionally fast game and making thrilling goals from every angle of the floor. Frances Cutting—Manager, can well be called “Skipper”, for she has piloted this year’s team through twelve good games of basketball. She has been “in the center” of many a scrap for Port and will be greatly missed when she is graduated this year. Mary Smith has been “Barney’s” play-mate for four years. With “Smitty” and “Barney” together we had a combination that was hard to beat. “Smitty” was always on hand to receive a pass or send one to “Barney”. She put up a hard fight and was “no mean shot” at fouls or field goals. Margaret Golden was our all-around guard. “Blubber” played a clean, active defense. Her enthusiasm carried the team over the rough spots and her “check !” stopped many an opponent from making a goal. The Juniors “Becky” Gamble helped “cover” in the guard position. The girl that Becky guarded didn’t get her way with the ball, for Becky was always right there to “mix it up.” Alice Sullivan was an alert guard, good on the jump. When the ball came her way, “Sully” got it. Frances Babola, who played a good game at side-center, has another year ahead of her on the varsity. Frances was noted for her double dribble down the edge of the floor. The Sophomores Mary Rossette, a first team regular, is well deserving of her letter. She was a consistently smart player, particularly good at “intercept that pass.” Anne Michelitsch and Pearl La-mont made a good team in the center section. Pearl has developed speed and skill, while Anne, although small, always gave her opponents plenty to worry about. Bernadette Glass and Jane Bou-don are two promising forwards for next year. “Bernie” has become an excellent shot and has worked hard to make herself the clever player that she is. These sophomores will step right into the positions left open by the seniors.

THE TIGER LILY GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY Three girls’ hockey teams competed in one round of tournament play during the 1934 season. The senior-junior players combined, forming one team, while the sophomore and freshman classes were each represented by an individual team. The sopho:nor:s retained their championship of last year by winning all of their games. The numerals of the class of ’37 are again placed on the class championship banner. The individual p’ayer’s award of a felt hockey stick with class numerals, was placed on a background so that the championship stripe for the second year could be added. The field behind the high school building was improved by leveling and raking. Additional space was secured by clearing away the brush. This represented a real improvement which allowed half of the high school girls to take part in an active fall sport. About forty girls played in actual competition and at least twenty more practiced during the season. The first game of the season took place on October 18, when the freshmen played the senior-junior team. The freshmen did very well in this their first game, but the experienced players retained full control of the field by scoring five goals to the freshmen’s one. The seniors-juniors played the sophomores in an exhibition game on October 19, the Friday of Community Fair Week. Practically the entire game was played in the center of the field with neither of the well-matched teams getting a chance to score until near the end of the game. Betty Langworthy, left wing for the sophomores, finally pushed through to score the lone point. The following week the sophomores played the freshmen and won by an eight to two score. November 1, in the final senior-junior vs. sophomore game, the latter won by a two to one score. The game was bitterly contended in the “Mud Bowl”, which frequent rains had caused the field to be named. A second round of games, which had been planned, was made impos sible because of weather conditions. However, this year saw the best hockey season since the sport was introduced three years ago.
