BASKETBALL His YEAR St. Bernard's Girls' Varsity Team has been fairly well balanced between victories and defeats. However, the team has had a slight leaning toward the victorious side. The girls played eight games with four victories, one tie, and three defeats. The total number of points made is 321, 155 for the opposing teams and 166 for our team. This gives a majority of points and victories to our credit, and the 1930 season, as a whole, may be called a winning year. The girls played their first game with the Alumni. This game proved to be an easy victory, nevertheless, there was plenty of fighting on both sides. The second game was played with St. Bernard's noted rivals, the Catholic Girls' Club. These games are always interesting, and this one was no excep- tion. It ended with our girls on the long end of the score. Seventy-eight

It was a close game with St. Bernard's leading by a narrow margin of one when the final whistle blew. The rooters on the sidelines certainly lent excitement to this game. The game with St. Mary's of Olean scored another victory on the books for our girls. Our team now travelled to Emporium where they tried to defeat again this fast team. On their own court, however, Emporium proved too strong a matchg so our girls lost their first game. Our team journeyed to Port Allegheny to meet the strong High School team there. This game was a heart-breaker. Our girls led until the last few minutes when the home team forged ahead with two field goals and two foul shots, and won the game. After two defeats the girls began to rally and succeeded with the fast Olean Indies on the Bradford court. The last game was played on the home court against Port Allegheny. This ended in another defeat for our team. This game proved especially note- worthy because it marked the final appearance of most of the girls on St. Bernard's team, and it was the first game ever lost on the home court. OUR COACH Miss Behan has been coaching our girls for three years, and much credit is due her for making the team what it is. It is through her efforts and unfail- ing interest in the work of the players that the team forged ahead to its present standing among local teams. She has taught the girls the value of team work and has instilled into them a spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship. As the time draws near when we shall be graduated from St. Bernard's, we begin to realize how much Our Coach has meant to us, and it is with a feeling of regret that we realize this is the last year for basketball for most of us, especially on the team of dear St. Bernard's. MARY ELIZABETH BROWN Mary Liz is a veteran of the team. She has fought for the team ever since basketball has existed in St. Bernard's. She was a member of the squad when she was a Freshman, and she has continued to score for the three suc- ceeding years. During her Sophomore year, she made an ideal Captain. She has proved her keen eye for the basket with a total of 350 points to her credit. She alone has made more points than the total score of all the opposing teamsg which score is 337. This fact proves that she deserves the name Star For- ward. Is it any wonder that St. Bernard's is loath to part with her? PAULINE MacMASTER Paula is another stand-by of the team. She has played for three years in succession and has helped win many games. Her quickness in thought and action and her co-operative fighting spirit have all helped to make her a splendid guard. Paula also has a business mindg this she has shown this year by her success as Manager. Seventy-nine
