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.

In March, at the close of a successful basketball season, a banquet was held at which Mr. Edward MacLaren, chairman of the school committee, and Mr. Jesse J. Morgan, superintendent of schools, were principal speakers. The officers were as follows : Dunbar Plante, President ; Her- man Stienstra, Vice-president; Ruth Rivernider, Secretary; Jen- nie Fedorczuk, Treasurer.
