24 ' 48 First row: Hilda Swart, Irene Martell, Claire Pechie, Nancy Smith, Hazel Horne, Loretta Vigeant Second row: Gloria Rivernider, Constance Maynard, Dorothy Minor, Shirley Briggs Third row: Adelle Smith, manager; Miss Ryan, ocach; Louise Freeland Asst, mana- ger, Valerie Johnson Girls ' Sports This year the girls ' basketball team saw a large turnout. With good coaching on Miss Ryan ' s part we pulled through with high spirits and good sportsmanship. This year we had new uniforms, and this alone brought us great enjoyment. All our games were exciting, but I believe the games played with Leicester High were even more so (probably because we won both games). With this victory we had high hopes. The girls ' team was lead by its Co-captains Nancy Smith and Claire Pechie. The other members of the team were as follows: Dorothy Minor, Irene Martell, Constance Maynard, Hilda Swart, Shirley Briggs, Hazel Horne, Loretta Vigeant, Jeannette Bernier, Dorothy Potter, Beverly Currier, Jane Bates, Gloria Rivernider, Eleanor Gustafson, and Valerie Johnson. The most enjoyable part of the basketball season was the out-of- town games. I guess the high school group will never forget the snack parlors we often visited. Now it is time we gave a word of praise to the manager, Adelle Smith, and most sincerely we give our thanks to the untiring efforts of the cheerleaders who spurred us on to victory. The captain of the cheerleaders was Eleanor Gustafson; her vivacious crew included Janet Pechie, Dorothy Minor, Constance Maynard, Gloria Rivernider, and Joan Lamoureux. Claire Pechie.

Under the sponsorship of the legion in Manchaug (permission largely granted by Mr. Schwab) we traveled to the Rutland Veterans Hospital to give the show again. We enjoyed this experience thoroughly and they, from all appearances, seemed to enjoy it too. We would like to thank Paul St. Jean and Joe Minor for the parts they so kindly took to help us in our extreme shortage of male char- acters. We ' d also like to thank Frank Aspinwall for the necessary behind-the-curtain work with sound effects.

' 48 25 First row: Mr. Place, coach; Eddie Plante, Kenny Morey, Ray Chouinard, William Johnson, Frank Aspinwall Second row: Bruce Shaw, Philip Smith, William Baker, Michael Fedorczuk, Harold Smith Third row: Ben MacLaren, manager, Jim Swart, Robert Pouliot, manager Boys ' Sports The basketball team of ' 48 was for the most part composed of underclassmen who show very good promise of becoming the stars of tomorrow for Sutton High. The teams of the coming years should stand a good chance, as the line-ups will vary little, the team losing but two senior boys, Ray Chouinard and Bill Baker. The new year was started out with a flash of new uniforms for the boys, which set the school A. A. back quite a bit; but the proceeds received by selling A. A. tickets helped to fill the treasury up again. Jimmy Swart came through with flying colors with the total of 112 points for the year. Holding honors for second place is Eddie Plante with 76, and Ken Morey was not far behind, coming through wtih 75 points for only half season. The team would like to express its appreciation to Coach Place and Assistant manager, Ben MacLaren for their untiring efforts to put forth a winning team. During the past season, the boys lost 12 games and won 5, in- cluding the J. V. victories.
