GIRLS ' SENIOR BASKETBALL The Senior Girls’ Basketball team under the capable supervision of Miss Pauline Arnett brought home many merits for Red Deer. They played a number of games with visiting towns including Olds, Innisfail, Lacombe, Edmonton, Calgary and Raymond. The team lost the Central Alberta championship to Innisfail by a margin of one point the last three minutes of play. A box of chocolates was presented to each member of the team at the dance held after the tournament. The captain, Chlo-ellen Cox, presented Miss Arnett with a dozen red roses on behalf of the team for her splendid work in coaching them. The team put up a gallant battle to retain the trophy they won last year but they lost by a narrow margin to Innisfail in the final game of the big sixteen-team tourn¬ ament held at the Gym on Aprill. The game went to the second overtime frame before Innisfail emerged victorious by a two point lead. BOYS ' SENIOR BASKETBALL The team was organized immediately after football and John Pistawka was elected captain. The team under the supervision and coaching of Mr. Ward had quite a successful year. During the season they played many games with teams from the surrounding towns. Also, they played in the city league and provincial playoffs. They finished in a tie for second with the Tanks in the city league, whom they beat in the playoffs. In the finals the High School defeated the Rams to capture the title. In the provincial playoffs the boys played Hillspring Panthers in the best of three series. The locals lost a real thriler in the first game by a 41-36 score. The second game was one of the best seen here, the locals being edged out 37-35, and in doing so gave Hillspring the series. Doctor to Mrs. Oke: Your husband doesn’t look very good to me. Mrs. Oke: He doesn’t look good to me either, but he’s kind to the children.
