irls' Basketball FRONT ROW: J- Cochran, J. LeBeau, S. Hamilton, M. Hanna, M. Palmer, S. Mitchell SECOND ROW: B. Chamberlain, P. Aubin, Miss Yankowski Icoachj, C. Chamberlain J. Sweeney, M. Booth BACK ROW: R. Bristol, A. Langeway, S. Bush, M. Veysey V.H.S. girls' basketball team chalked up a busy season this year playing I3 games and winning seven. Under the direction of Coach Yankowski, the team shaped up nicely with Shirley Hamilton, Shirley Mitchell, and Margaret Hanna playing front court, and Joyce LeBeau, Mary Palmer, and Jessie Cochran taking the guard positions. We started the season off with an exciting game in which we bowed to a highly-rated St. Mary's team by seven points. Since Vergennes is no longer in the Champlain Valley League, we have dropped the games with some of the smaller schools, which has left us meeting stronger opponents. Co-Captain Shirley Hamilton played her last basketball games for V.H.S. this year and she will be missed greatly next season. With her favorite shot, a right-handed hook from the side, she racked up a total of I99 points, an average of I3 points a game. To replace the loss of this veteran, there are many promising substitutes. Among them are Ann Langeway, Marjorie Veysey, and Rachael Bristol. Due to an injured ankle, Co-captain Margaret Hanna was forced to watch three games from the sidelines. However, she hit the nets for a total of IH7 points, averaging I3 points per game. Shirley Mitchell, who is quick and plays a good floor game, has tallied for IH2 points, an average of 9 points per game. In the back court the guards proved their playing ability by intercepting passes, getting rebounds, and thoroughly confusing their opponents. Margaret Booth, Barbara Chamberlain, and Sally Bush have also played hard and showed their value to the team. Next year we hope to come back with an even stronger team, since all the players will be veterans except one new forward. 1
