Girls' Softball Squad Girls' athletic activities have been somewhat neglected over the years, but, in spite of this, the girls have made an excellent showing in those con- tests in which they have participated. In February 1939 the Girls' Athletic Association was organized and two teams were formed for play during the school day. In 1944, the girls entered the Clarke-Frederick County Softball League and a loop of contests was scheduled annually each fall which included games involving teams repre- senting Berryville, Boyce, Gainesborcv, Gore, Stephens City and Stonewall, with Middletown entering in 1949 and Gore and Boyce dropping out. In the spring of 1946 Stephens City High School Team won the League Championship with only one game lost, and managed to get one leg on the trophy presented by the Northern Virginia Daily. In the four following sea- sons, the Stephens City Nine placed second after having it out with Gaines- boro with whom Stephens City always seemed doomed to tie for first place. Past scores of games with Gainesboro have been: in the fall of 1946, Gaines- boro-14, Stephens City-115 in the fall of 1947, Gainesboro-17, Stephens City-16g in 1948, Gainesboro-145 Stephens City-6. The trophy, after the play-off in 1948, went permanently to the Gainesboro Team. The line-up, schedule and results of the current season follow: LINE-UP Catcher -- .......... .....
