They were all eager to help lead the Black and Gold through a successful year. The squad had to be cut and eigh- teen ofthe more experienced members were selected, including five lettermen of last year who were back for another winning season. Our Hrst combat was with our old rival, Dillonvale, and we defeated them by IL final 19-12 score. Our next victory was over Hopedale, the only team that defeated us last year. St. Clairsvllle offered a great deal of opposition but were defeated by a two point margin. llle added three more scaltfs to our string by defeating Berholz, lrondale, and Brilliant. At Hopedale our team was lead- ing seven points with about three minutes to play when the lights went out, and again we gained a victory over Hopedale. There was plenty of action when we met the Belmont Hi h girls, the champions of Belmont County who had not been defeated for three years. The game was close and exciting with Smithfield being out in the lead throughout the whole game, and winning by a three point margin. Our next victory was over Dillonvale. We took St. Clairs- ville in a stride claiming the victory. lrondale broke our winning streak by defeating us by an eight point margin. Back in our own form again we wal- loped- Bergholzg and ended the season by defeating Belmont by a five point margin. The basketball girls wish to thank the High School for the new suits which they bought us this year. Perhaps they had something to do with our successful year. Although we shall lose three of our first team this year, the outlook for next year is very good. E553

SMITHONIAN 1935 Lettermen Edith Steffl , livery follower of the Black and Gold has been delighted this season with the showing made by this little guard. A more quiet, sturdy and consistent player has never trod the Smithfield court. She could be relied on to take the most dangerous opponent and hold her to a low score. A big share of the season's success was due to Edie Louise Murphy Too much cannot be said about the contribution that Louise has made in athletics for S. H. S. She started in to build a reputation the lirst year that she was in high school hy winning a regular place on the basketball team. Murf, as she was better known to her school chums, was not only a great player but was also a fine leader, as was shown by the wav that she cap- tained the championship team of 1935. Wtiregrer losing Mori as she is one ofthe mainstays and her position will be very hard to Fill. . Elsie Pa:P'li V Elsie, although new to theteam this year, has shown great ability on the basketball court throughout the whole season. Her ability to get the ball up to the basket is miraculous. She has been a hard worker and always has the best interests of the team at heart. Elsie is only a lfreshman, so we will hear a lot from her from now on.
