22 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Another season of almost entire victory added to our record! And what a season! Excitement! Brilliant playing ! Close scores! We started the season on Jan. 6 by-winning from Essex Junction. 32-33. A game with Bristol, 34-20. 1 hen, on fan. 20, the much looked-for-forward-to game with Burlington. A fast game and—Mr. Fogg insists—the hardest and fastest ever played on our floor. But our girls were not quite up to the fast Burlington girls who clicked every play, and we lost, 17-26. The same night the Junior Varsity played Bee-man Academy Varsity, losing 19-26. But then our losses were over! We won several games and then the time came for our return game with Burlington, there. The date was Feb. 3. The girls were sent off with a resounding Ali-ki-i still ringing in their ears. They were determined to win and wreak vengeance upon the Burlington team for our former loss. Burlington! From the first toss-up the girls play with snap and vigor. During the first half we lead, but in the next quarter the Burlington team rallies so that they are leading by one point. The guards watch their forwards exceptionally well and let them steal very few points. Another basket bv Lucia, the star of the game, shot from a very difficult position, puts us one point in the lead! One more minute of play! Both coaches are tense! Both teams are on the qui vive! Our girls keep the ball under our basket. Then—the whistle blows! The game is won! All of the following games of the season were played with the same determination and spirit. The results of the season are: “You fought for old Vergennes, Vergennes did win. You fought to the finish. Never gave in. Rah. Rah. Rah, V.H.S. Opp. Jan. 6 Essex Junction there 32 23.
