(Girls’ Haskrthall In March 1935 the Orange and Black Sextet of Schuylerville High School finished another season. Alt hough they won only 2 of their 14 games, the team should not be judged as poor. The girls played their best and refused to recognize defeat until the final whistle. What they learned in playing basket- ball will stay with them forever: sportsmanship, cooperation, and loyalty to the team. They raised the standard of the school and the team by showing that it isn’t always the score that counts; sometimes it is how the game is played. Their good training reflects back on their capable coach, Miss Margaret Cussler, who spurred on the girls. Helen Hewitt, right guard and captain, led her team with the ease and grace that all good captains possess. With her worked “Hessy” at center, “Vic” Obie and Lena “Vandy”, forwards, and Helen Barlow and “I)” Dumas, guards. “Margie” White, Maizie “Van”, and Marie Turcotte substituted. The manager, Kate Sirchia, was most excellent and obliging. June graduation, taking many of the members, will weaken the team con- siderably, but there are many incoming players who brighten the outlook for next year’s team.

It was the first year in which it gained the limelight. Every time the boys went on the court to play, they had strong hearts and a desire to win which are the two essential qualities for basketball players. Johnny Petralia with 57 points and “Blondy” Mosher with 53 points, supported by Lancier, Cummings, Haren, Hudson, Sherman, Root, McLindon, and Almy, managed to win six out of ten games.

The boys forming the nucleus of the team were: Nacy and Tony Corsetti, guards; Sullivan, center; and “Dorn” Nardelli and S. Boyce, forwards. larossi, a valu- able man, was lost the last part of the season due to injury. Substitutes who saw much action were Chase and Miner, guards; Blair and Turcotte, for- wards; and Wes Boyce alternate in center and forward. Starting the season with a loss to Bound Lake, the scheduled boys got under motion and won 5 out of the remaining 6 games. They lost 1 game to Saratoga, a much taller and heavier team, and won from Ballston, Greenwich, and Bound Lake. The only players remaining from this year’s team are Chase and Blair. Despite this loss Coach Boivin will perhaps turn out a brand new quintet next year to maintain the standard set up by this year’s team. Opp. S.H.S.
