The BENEDICTUM Leo's were defeated I7 to 9, followed. The Orange and Black then met Lourdes of River Rouge, defeating them I7 to IO for the fourth consecutive league win. With the most difficult part of the schedule remaining, grim determination gripped the team. St. Joseph's triumphed over our live 32 to 22, but were later forced to erase this victory and favor us 2 to o. Ineligibility of a player caused the forfeit. With two regulars out, the Orange and Black took on the St. Theresa quintet and went down under a 48 to I3 defeat. In the league closing contest St, Frederickis took a rough game by a 30 to 22 score. In the outside games De La Salle, Highland Park, and St. Mary of Mt. Clemens won two games each. The Alumni suffered defeat and some days later Redeemer took a non-league contest. St. Mary of Royal Oak and St. Benedict each won a single game, as did Visitation and St. Benedict. St. Leo's then brought a revamped team to St. Benedict and were defeated for the second time this season. St. Theresa High, league champions and victors in a previous encounter, met St. Benedict in a return game. St. Theresa's won this game by a 24 to 16 score.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAMS Shortly after the opening of school in September the high school girls were assigned their respective physical culture classes. The seniors, having a very small group, were designated a place with the junior training class. The sopho- mores and freshmen each had a separate class. All these classes were under the able instructions of Miss Rhea Carroll. When the basketball season ofhcially opened the girls caught the spirit of the play and entered it whole-heartedly. After a few strenuous practices each class elected a captain. Florence Morgan was elected by the freshmen to lead their team, Viola Killewald, by the sophomores, while the juniors chose Catherine Don- ohue and the seniors, Gertrude Schneider. During the course of the season there were a few inter-class tilts, in which the seniors defeated the juniors, both the seniors and juniors defeated the fresh- men, and the sophomores defeated the seniors. The game that was the hardest, however, was the contest with the Royal Oak girls. Did the St. Benedict girls practice hard? You should have seen them! The team for this game was selected' from the three upper classes. The game was the only outside one the girls played, nevertheless. St. Benedict defeated the visiting team to the tune of 27 to 24. All the classes represented were well satis- fied with their respective classmates. Page F0r'f'y-flvrvu
