GIRLS' BASKETBALL Front row, left to right: Kenola Denico, Evelyn Harding, Julia Hinton, Phyllis Lasselle, Elsie Reynolds, Barbara P. Hamlin. Second row: Barbara M, Hamlin, Patricia Judson, Mildred Reynolds, Evelyn Waltz, coach, Loretta Dalton, Nellie Hinton, Betty Grotton. Barbara P. Hamlin, Captain Miss Evelyn Waltz, Coach First of all we wish to thank those who have made it possible for us to have a new basketball gymnasium. Since all of our games but one were played away from home, we did not have much of a chance to show it off. Miss Waltz is our new coach this year. She has worked diligently with us this season. Out of eight games, we won two, which is a record that we certainly are not proud of. In all of the games the girls were very good sports and were right in there fighting all the time. Now that we have a gym to practice in, I think that you will see a big improvement in the future years. We were constantly urged on by the cheerleaders, Mary Reynolds, Anne Pushor, Ioyce Crotton and Dolores Lasselle. At graduation the squad will lose: Barbara P. Hamlin and Loretta Dalton.

J -V BASKETBALL Front row, left to right: Lloyd Mitchell, Silas Reynolds, John Tozier, Ray Cross, Ernest Flick, Harry Hubbard, Clayton Ames, Jr., Erwin Vickery. Kneeling: Charles Pearce, coach. For the first time in basketball at Unity High School, this is the first I-V team the school has ever had. This is due to the fact that the girls are only playing once a week. The team has some very good prospects for next yearis varsity squad. Their record stands at three Wins and three losses. The losses were not more than two or three points, and the whole team showed plenty of lighting spirit throughout the entire season.
