18 ’45 BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Standing: Sidney DeYoung, Norton Clarkson, Edward MacLaren, Dunbar Plante, Mr. Robert Morris (coach), Robert Brigham, Herman Stienstra, Arthur Learned, and David King (manager). Kneeling: Chester Klewiec, Raymond Chouinard, Richard Plante (captain), George Aspinwall, Alfred Ledoux, and William Baker. BOYS’ SPORTS This year the Sutton High basketball team had a fairly suc- cessful season. With Richard Plante as captain and Mr. Morris as coach, the quintet won five games and lost seven. They de- feated Brookfield twice, and split even with Upton, Auburn, and Monson. They also lost to Leicester and Sacred Heart Academy twice. This year, for the first time, our team entered the Tourna- ment held at Clark University. Sutton was chosen to play Town- send, whose team was highly favored to win the Class C cham- pionship. Up to this time Townsend had won 19 games as against no defeats. The game ended with Townsend on the long end of a 55-80 score. Herman Stienstra, forward for Sut- ton, was high scorer in that game with 22 points. Stienstra was also high scorer for the year, with Dunbar Plante, right guard, holding honors for second place. Although we are losing Dunbar, who is graduating, we will have the following veterans for next year: Sidney DeYoung, George Aspinwall, Chester Klewiec, Robert Brigham; and a promising freshman, Raymond Chouinard. Credit should be given also to our capable manager, David King, without whom we should not have had such a successful season.

17 ’45 bara Brinck, Ruth Rivernider, Gertrude King, Louise Lavallee, June Miller, Grace Learned, and Dolores Stopyra. The most enjoyable part of the basketball season was the out-of-town games. Often when returning from a game, we stopped at some restaurant for a snack. I wonder if Arthur Learned and Norton Clarkson will ever forget their peppered, sugared, salted, mustard hot-dog. I know the ones who con- cocted this delicacy will never forget. Last, but not least, a word should be said in praise of the manager, Loretta Maynard, and of the cheer leaders; Alice Minor, Rita Decoteau and Claire Pechie. Thanks to their untir- ing efforts, we were spurred on to many victories. RUTH RIVERNIDER, Sports Editor.
