Summary: Jay 4, 1939 Buxton 8 home Limington May ll Buxton 8 away Waterboro May 16 Buxton 12 home Hollis May 25 Buxton 3 home Alfred June 1 Buxton 2 away Cornish June 5 Buxton 6 away Limerick At the beginning of the fall term we played and lost two games with Hollis. HORSESHOES Raymond Brackett and Ronald Sawyer constituted the horseshoe team this year. Their opponents, HollisxHigh School, proved to be too good for them and took three straight games in the pre- liminary game at Buxton, October lOth. CHECKERS - The checker tournament was held at Buxton on October 20th. Again the checker trophy was won by Buxton. This year it was difficult to choose our contestant as Harlan Pease the winner for the past two consecutive years and Donald Smith were equally matched in the preliminary games. Finally Donald was chosen and he showed himself worthy of his position as he defeated each of his opponents in every game. LAL Al,
