GIRLS' BASKETBALL 1956-1957 The girls' basketball team of 1956-1957 had a fairly successful year. They won eleven out of fifteen games. One game that we won was a real victory. We beat North Anson by '7 points which was their first defeat in two years. Our talented guards held them off while our forwards showed their skill at rebounding, passing, and quick shooting, bewildering the North Anson girls. Avis Belanger was captain of the team and Mavis McLaughlin served as Manager. The team chose Avis Belanger and Frances Durgin to represent Bingham in the All-Star game held at North Anson. The All-Stars put up a good fight but lost by a wide margin. The girls' basketball team wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to Mr. Hall for the patience and time he gave in coaching them this year.

We showed up very well in this meet collecting 14 points as follows: Keith Davis '58, first Downhill: Paul Corbin '58, second Jump and Frank Woodard '57, first Jump and third Slalom. We hope to better this record in future meets, especially in Cross Country. We still have a meet with Monson. We shall be host at our Winter Carnival on March 9. Mr. Matheson is again our coach. He has stood by us through victory and defeat and has never given up. Interest in winter sports could be better and we wish more students would come out for this activity. Paul Corbin '58
