After our first game with Duxbury, a league was formed consisting of all the seventh and eighth grade girls who wished to join. During gym periods in January the first ten minutes were devoted to First Aid. The seventh grade with the Senior High Glee Club will have an opportunity to appear in public before the year is over.
