ber of girls. This year competition was keen for positions on the var¬ sity team. The team was under the supervision of Mr. Paul V. Parks. Un¬ der his careful instructions we learned many new basketball techniques. We opened the season with a 28-18 defeat from Kernersville Novem¬ ber 24th. We fought hard, but we were no match for our opponents. Our second game was with our old time-rival, Stokesdale. First one team led, then the other, but when the final whistle blew the disappointing score was 14-12 in favor of Stokesdale. December 11th we won our first game of the season from the Colfax six. We kept a safe margin all the way and easily captured a 25-3 win. The following night we played Sumner and beat them 35-10. Summerfield had an Invitational Tournament beginning December 15th. We played our first game in the tournament with Bessemer. It was an ex¬ citing nip and tuck game, however when the game was over the score was 21-20 in favor of Bessemer. This meant we could no longer play in the tournament. During the season we played various other schools throughout the county. Even though we suffered numerous defeats, each person who par¬ ticipated in this activity achieved a greater knowledge of playing bas¬ ketball and our team as a whole continuously improved all season. Thus we feel that progress was made.
