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 have most of our veterans back. Among them are Barton Hill '58, Paul Corbin '58, Keith Davis '58, Jean Bemis '57, Nancy Ca- hill '5'7, Clyne Bigelow '58, Frank Woodard '57, and Betty Bigelow '57, Our new additions are Betty Atwood '58, Joyce Lagasse '60, Michael Read '60, Eugene Hunnewell '60, We participated in a Ski Meet at Guilford, Saturday, February 23. 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

CROSS -COUNTRY Bingham had a new addition to its sports activities this year. Cross-Country was offered for the first time in ten years. Most of the boys on the basketball team went out for it to get in con- dition before the season. We did well considering our inexperience and late start. We did not win any meets, but we showed up well against schools that placed high in the state meet. We ran in six meets in all, two with Madison, two with Guilford, and two with Phillips. One was a tri-meet against Phillips and Guilford, held here at Bingham. Mr. Dingley was pleased with the turnout and results of our first year and hopes that next year we shall be better. We hope to see all the veterans turn out next year and also new mem- bers who are swift and interested. Let's have a, good year. Paul Corbin - '58 BASEBALL The 1955-56 baseball team wound up its spring campaign sporting a four-win-five-loss rec- ord. A late spring made it impossible for the team to get in much practice before the first few games, a problem common to all national pastimers throughout Central and Northern Maine. ' Lack of bull-pen depth can also be taken into consideration when examining the won-lost col- umn. The Cavaliers dropped a tough one to Central in an exciting opener 13-12, but bounced back to whip the Monson Slaters 8-5. Baftled by the polished pitching of Bunky Davis, we took a 5-0 loss from Solon and continued the slump through the next two games in a non-league contest, and a 14-1 setback at the hands of Somerset Academy. Coming back strong, we dealt North Anson its first defeat of the season in a 10-3 contest. In a series of non-league games, we took a 15-2 trouncing from Skowhegan, but rallied to down that same club 7-6 in an error- less thriller. We proceeded to wind up the season with a satisfying 28-8 beating of the Harmony Huskies. D. Miller Clark 214 B. Hill Bossie 211 F. Woodard Miller 188 K. Roberts McCollar 182 R. Bossie Read 174 D.
