G 1 J m irl s I ennis Again this year, in response to Miss Nichols’ call for candidates for the team and tournaments, a large group of ambitious young tennis hopefuls has responded. The junior girls make up the major portion of the tennis team, with the following girls participating: Beryl Cook, Lucille Gonnam, Nancy Perry, Joyce Pollitz, Marilyn Monegan, Agnes McGrath, Margaret O’Keefe, Constance Parry, and Helen Poland. There are forty girls going out for the beginners, intermediate, and advanced groups. Competition should be keener this year, since the schedule includes a larger number of high schools than in the past. The games planned are as follows: May 12 Concord at Reading May 18 Wakefield at Reading May 25 Melrose at Reading 15 Reading at Malden ” 21 Reading at Danvers ” 28 Reading at Arlington We are confident that the Reading team will make excellent showings in their matches. Marjorie Webster Girl’s Basketball The girls’ basketball season started off with a bang as the seniors beat Winchester 29 to 9, the juniors won 18 to 3, and the sophomores were triumphant 23 to 15. The second game, against Arlington, was the most hotly contested as the seniors lost by the score 18 to 21, the juniors went down 19 to 18 in the last mo¬ ment of play, and the sophomores were edged out 27 to 25. Melrose was completely victorious over Reading, the scores being seniors 35 to 14, juniors 25 to 6, and sophomores 24 to 15. In the game against Swampscott, the Reading seniors won 42 to 14 and the juniors and sophomores lost 21 to 9 and 26 to 21 respectively. As Malden had a sriiall number out for basketball, there were only two teams. After some exciting competition the Reading first team won 21 to 20. The Reading second team beat the Malden seconds 22 to 10. The squad included Katherine Maling, senior cap¬ tain; Betty Hoffer, junior captain; Barbara Fieneman, sophomore captain; Elinor Abbott, Harriette Camp, Beverly Buckler, Jennie Gromyko, Alma Towle, Bea Ruderman, Frances Wheeler, Betty Campbell, Barbara Merritt, Anne Barrett, Althea Crilley, Edna Barmby, Gertr ude Doucette, Patricia Gray, Margaret Ivers, Nan¬ cy Perry, Betty Holler, Betty Hamm, Jean McClintock, Carolyn Foster, Helen Dahlquist, Barb Normine, Peggy Crowell, Helen Poland, Dorothy Libby, Betty Guild, Arlene Surette, Jean MacLeod, Louise Davis, Pat Brad¬ ley, Ruth Batchelder, Margaret O’Keefe, Margaret Mc¬ Grath, and Gail Packer. The entire squad wishes to thank Miss Nichols for patient help and untiring assistance. Helen Poland

Our cheering squad was graced with eight vivacious leaders this year. Adorned in firemen’s red mili¬ tary jackets with the shiney brass buttons and brief wavy skirts, the squad was lead superbly by Nan White. The response from the bleachers was great and R. H. S. was well able to out-yell any opposing team’s by¬ standers. As far as cheerleading goes, our season consisted of rallies, dances, practice 8th periods, and of course our usual backing up o f the boys on Saturdays. We’re leaving the megaphones to you, junior cheerleaders, in hopes that you ' will do next year’s football team real justice! Cheerleadin Bev Buckler
