22 FRANKLIN ACAlJlfMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Girls' Basket Ball Team HE girls' Basket Ball team was composed of listher Blood, center and captaing l'hyllis Keyes and julia Peterson, forwards, Millicent Potter and Constance Bardeen, guards, and Ruth Munson, side center. The side centers were not used, so Ruth went along' as substitute center. Catherine Cornell and Harriett Hatch, substitute guard and forward respectively. XVe had three regular games. :Xt Naples we played the Girl Scouts and defeated them hy a score of 14 to 9. Refreshments were served in the scouts rooms by the scouts. The second game was with Avoca, on home court, and again we received a victory of but one point. The game fur- nished much excitement, the score being 12 to ll. After the game refresh- ments were served by our girls' team and the boys' second team, for the Avoca teams, at Doctor Munson's home. The third game we met with defeat at Avoca 7 to 11. They admitted that the court was smaller and that all ceiling balls didn't count. Both sides made ceiling balls, but, as we were not used to the court, we lost. Refreshments were served after the game at the school. Mrs. Munson went to Naples as chaperon, while we went to Avoca in cars. The team wishes to thank Miss Rayton for her encouragment and direction without which our girls' team would have been impossible. 4 -Ruth Munson lf lvanhoed the bonny brae, And Athelstaned his tunic new, And Friar Tucked his food away, Then what, oh what, would Roderick Dhu? -lix.

FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 21 Q N 1 'am -Alton Thomas, '22 THLETICS this year in Prattsburg High School have been a decided success so far as building up a winning basket ball team is concerned. The basket ball team has established as good a record as most, and far better than many, teams in the country. It has made a good showing against most of the teams in Steuben and surrounding counties. The financial part of Athletics were also handled successfully. XVe were aided by the High School Athletic Association and board of Education. Without the aid of these our basket ball team would have been a decided failure because we could not afford to rent a hall for the purpose of play- ing basket ball and we could not think of playing out of town games. Next year Prattsburg should have a good fast team, a team composed of more experienced players and a team which should be as good as any high school team in the county. We sincerely hope that the people of the community will give this team the support they desire by attending the games. THE TALE OF THE TEAM We had a lot of fun this year, A playing basket ballg We quit in early springtime Tho' we began in early fall. VVe had some quite exciting games, We won and lost a few: NVe got into some arguments And had a scrap or two. But now it's getting warmer, And baseball's in the airg We have really started playing And we're beating everywhere. -Herbert Clark,'24
