THE CHIMES 23 the team, in studying the rules and discussing various points of importance. Some hard practice has been put into this game by the squad, which consists of the greater part of the girls. Every one of them is anxious to get on the team. The results shown so far are very encouraging. It is hoped that the squad will produce a snappy team, and will be able to stand any other basket ball team representing a school of this size. The girls are showing good spirit and are co-operating readily in forming a team. Catherine Murphy, '26. SCITUATE HIGH VS. DUXBURY HIGH The boys' basketball five scored their first victory Mon- day night, January 25, when they defeated the Duxbury quintet by a score of 20-19. The boys found it hard, at first, to get the ball through the lanky boys from Duxbury. As a result the first ten minutes of play found Duxbury in the lead. In the second quarter, however, the Scituate boys got their eyes on the hoop and scored enough baskets to put them in the lead. The Duxbury boys caged a few baskets them- selves and the end of the half found Scituate leading by two points. During the third quarter the teams played about evenly and the score stood seventeen all. The next period Duxbury caged another basket, but Scituate also found the hoop for another one. Scituate also caged a foul shot, which later proved to be the winning point.

Mrs. Ward, Miss Barrows and Miss Bradford were pre- sented with bouquets from the students in appreciation of their help and co-operation in arranging the performance. The proceeds from the show covering all expenses was two hundred and fifty dollars. This money went to the Athletic Association.
