VARSITY From A Hetu Manager S Mack S Lamb N Hillebrecht B Hodgson N Toman L Zimmerman C Smith Manager Back D Gianantoni B DeNadai E Woods Coach Louise Brunell M Johnston M Carlier B Hansen GIRLS BASKETBALL The girls' basketball season at S. H. S. this year could not be termed a very productive one but rather a very promising one. Checking over the overall record we find that in playing eleven games the girls won three while losing an overbalancing number of eight. However, this record does not give an accurate picture of the season. In losing eight games, the club lost six of these eight games by a margin of five points or less. Certainly, combining these facts with the vital factor that the entire squad will be back next year points to a bright future for girls' basketball at Stafford High School.
