Hutzley GIRLS' INTERCLASS CHAMPIONS Sharon Hill High instituted a new basketball system for girls this year. Interscholastic competition, with the exception of two schools, was dropped in order to em- phasize intramural competition. Fourteen teams were or- ganized in the senior high school, each team playing six games. The winning team of each class played a team from Nether-Providence. A Senior class team, the V's , was the winner of the interclass competition and wound up the season by meeting Marple-Newtown. 48 A. Boyd, A. Heffernan, F. Boggs, E. Atchison, E.
