THE BLUE AND WHITE Page 25 aaaaafqaaaawaaawaaf-Maheshammwawmaedbf Bhiiwhawawwwmmawamamawaamawwm Qirls ' .Basketball This year, the two schools, Richmondale and Liberty, were combined into the South- eastern School District with five veterans from each school on the team, which was coached by Mr. White. We began our first practice on No- vember 2, at the Mt. Logan School, and met twice each week during the season. The following is a short resume of our year: November 6-Southeastern at Beaver As this was our first game playing together, we were rather awkward and the Beaver girls won by a score of 14 to 8. CAnyway, let us say that it was our clumsiness.D November 204outheastern at Kingston We were defeated with a score of 27 to 33, and sad to relate it was our second loss of the early season. December 4-Southeastern at Kingston This was the second game this year with this team, and they won the first game, but we doubled the score on the second, 22 to 11. December 11-Southeastern at Bourneville. The fourth game was another easy victory for Southeastern. We won with a score of 45 to 1. December 18-Kingston at Southeastern V A home game defeat of 41 to 33. Such is this sad, sad, story. December 29-Alumni and Southeastern During the Christmas vacation we played the Alumni of both schools. Since that was the first time the Alumni had ever played together, and we high school girls were used to playing with one another, ours was an easy victory of 23 to 8. January 8-Southeastern at McArthur The girls went to McArthur while the boys went to Unioto. We were ahead of the lassies at the half, but they came back at us in the last half, and at the end of the game we both came through with a tie score, 15-15. January 16-Southeastern at Marshall After going all the Way to Marshall--then getting defeated, 48 to 17. Nuf sed. January 27-Southeastern at Bainbridge We played Bainbridge for the first time this year and won an easy victory for our school. Score 28 to 7. January 29-Southeastern at Huntington We went to the Huntington Heights and won with a score of 51-7. February 5-Southeastern at Coalton Coalton won with a score of 23 to 17. February 12-Bainbridge at Southeastern This was the second time this year for play- ing this team, and we were able to give the season a happy ending by taking two victories. The score at this date was 46-7. In reviewing the year for the girls' team, we find that Southeastern had scored 332 points to her opponents' 215, with an average of 27 2f3 for us to 17 11f12 for them. The highest scorers were Mildred Higgins, 1393 and Pauline Donegan, 107 points. Captains for the year were Mildred and Pauline, and the medal for outstanding per- formance was given to Mildred Higgins. Our girls received their letters at the ban- quet which was a very happy occasion of feast- ing and fun at Londonderry.

Page2-4 THE BLUE AND WHITE ew-lhwwaeawwwwwwaewwqwwafefevhwfeumuwawwcefgf Dgyswawamhwwwamahwhwwmuawa Boys ' .Basketball Establishing a precedent in combining Lib- erty and Richmondale teams into a South- eastern aggregation proved more than a bene- fit to all concerned. This segregation and the appointment of Mr. Milner as coach of the Southeastern team proved another progressive step, while the ac- quisition of Mt. Logan gym for two nights of practice weekly added to our already pleasure- able anticipation of a fruitful season. On November 2, we began practice. Season results will be briefly outlined in the follow- ing data. Observe in some instances we did not realize our aims and desires. In other instances we fulfilled our expectations. But, do not judge harshly. We conscientiously feel that we did our best. November 6-Southeastern-Beaver-23-15 Imagine our embarrassment when Beaver trounced us as pictured above, and why? Well, anyhow, we were consistent in our inaccuracies both in ball handling and shooting. Our opener, too. November 13-Southeastern-Highland-33-29 Oh, dear! lost again. However, some im- provement was noted both in ball handling and shooting, and perhaps we shouldn't tell this but, were we rough? November 20-Southeastern-Kingston-23-18 We are just about out of red ink. Lost again. November 25-Southeastern-Centralia-21-18 Now we've got something. Our first win in four starts and a close game, too. December 4-Southeastern-Clarksburg--19-14 Just when we feel the winning side is to be ours, along comes defeat. December 9--Southeastern-Bourneville--21-16 Another red ink entry in our ledger, and was that game rough? Referee Vernia called 25 personal foulsg all deserved. December 1 2-S0utheastern-Adelphia-31-1 1 If we weren't blessed with a conscience com- parable to our Puritan ancestors we'd never report this one. Adelphia ran wild. December 18-Southeastern-Kingston-23-25 Oh, Boy! back to black ink and a record of another win. December 23-Southeastern-Unioto-4217 Say, things are looking up. We won again. January 8-Southeastern-Unioto-26-21 We chalked up our fourth win with three straight. January 15-Southeastern-Clarksburg-33-8 I was afraid this was too good to last. Clarksburg broke our winning streak with a thorough trouncing. January 16-Southeastern-Marshall-2820 Looking up again, and why not? We won. January 22-Southeastern-Bainbridge-22-20 Won a close one. And are we happy? January 29-Southeastem-Huntington-49-12 Won easily. Someone page Ed. Climer. It seems through lack of experience he held our score down two points. Why, Eddie, how could you? February 5-Southeastern-Coalton-16-14 Won a close one againg and rough again. February 12-Southeastern-Bainbridge-33-16 Another win and another rough game, but are we happy? This was the closing game of the season. With a total of 17 starts we chalked up 10 wins and 7 losses. Not bad. T. Tournament Unfortunately we drew the strongest team in the tournament group for our initial bow, and we might add incidentally that the mighty buckskin team not only won the county tourna- ment but went to the semi-finals in the sec- tional and we gave them their stiifest battle locally. Buckskin, already the favorite, felt we simply represented a practice game, but until the last half of the fourth quarter it was anyone's game. Excitement reigned supreme during the en- tire playing of this game and the final score, 23-36, doesn't really give a clear picture of results. In turning the last page in our basketball book for 1936-'37, we gave a good account of ourselves. Some veterans will be lost through gradua- tion, but to those remaining may we say, Best of luck for next season! MMHHWHHHQHWMMMMQMHHMHHHQQHMQMHHQHQHQdm Bfyhamwmaammmmwwmhmwawmwmwmwh
