BLUE AND WHITE oo N GIRLS’ SPORTS We opened our ’44-’45 Basketball season with Biagio Palermo as our new coach. Practices were held every night in order to get the team in shape for the tough season ahead. Now we can thank the coach for having so many practices as this practice helped us to win 16 out of 19 games. The Headmasters’ Club organized the Champlain Valley League of which we were a member along with Shelburne. Hinesburg, Bristol. Shoreham, Weeks School and Essex Junction. We won every game in this league; thus we were presented with the trophy. At the close of the season a Boys and Girls’ Banquet was held at the Ver-gennes Inn. The coach had somewhere found a deer which was enjoyed by almost everyone. At this time the coach was presented with money as a gift from the teams. Speeches were made by Prin. Berry, Coach Palermo, Manager’s Audrey Tucker and Hugh Clark, Ray Nelson and Kay Panton. The guest was to be John Acropolis, but at that time he was unable to attend. This was our last gathering of the season. It was the last of Basketball for soim. Co-Captain Martha Partch, Kav Ev-arts. Grace Sears. Manager Audrey Tucker and Captain Kav Panton express regrets in leaving the team by graduation. But we all hope to come back as Alumni next year and give the team a good game.
