Boys’ Varsity Basketball At the close of the 1953-54 basketball season, the Commodores, coached by Ronald C. Davis; held a record of eight wins and 11 losses. Although playing one of their stiffest schedules, they managed to take some of the bigger schools such as Winooski and Essex. In several games the final score was a difference of only a few points, so the won-lost column did not show the brand of play. Tom McCormick led in the scoring department, with an even 10 point average for the season. Charlie Ross had 9.7, Jim Underwood 7.2, “ .Spot ” Ross had 6.3, and Ken Drew had 5.5. The Davismen started off on the wrong foot dropping their first three games to Brandon, Morrisville, and Ludlow. Then they began to click in their win over Middlebury. In their next outing they ran up against Burlington and were beaten. However, they bounced back to trim Winooski on the latter’s court. In their last game of the “ 53 ” season, they were beaten by Brandon. In the “ 54 ” portion they beat Bristol in their first game and followed that with a loss to Stowe High School. Then they ran up two straight wins against Randolph and Essex function. They were defeated by Cathedral, but came back to trounce Middlebury. In their second outing against Bristol the); were beaten and the same thing happened in the Essex Junction game on their home court. In the play-off game with Bristol on the Weeks Court they were beaten 48-43. However, they took two out of their last three, losing to Stowe and beating Randolph and Weeks School. 29 By Wayne Ganson ’55

Girls’ Varsity Basketball Congratulations are in order for the V.H.S. Girls’ Basketball team! This season has been one of the best, with a ten-win and three-loss record. Coached by Miss Shirley Whalley, the team showed much spirit and hard work in its victories over Ludlow, Middlebury, 3ristol, Randolph, and the Alumnae. B.F.S. of St. Albans, the best girls' team in the state, was the only opponent which proved undefeatable. Burlington took a close home game but in the return game, our determined and confident girls pulled through to achieve, by two points, a long-awaited win. Looking back into the records, we find this is the first time Vergennes has been the victor over Burlington. t Seven veterans on Girls’ Varsity will graduate this year. Lefty Margaret llanna was able to score from most any spot on the floor and racked up a grand total of 207 points. Shirley Mitchell played a good, fast game and pulled the team through any tight spots. She totaled 122 points with her favorite set-shot. Ann Langeway, although not as experienced, was very aggressive and could always be depended on. She hit the nets for 6.3 points. Jessie Cochran proved to be a most valuable player. Good at intercepting passes as a guard, she could also play in a forward position and do equally as well. Joyce LeBeau, whose height was a great asset, always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Margaret Booth and Jane Ripchik were dependable sub-stitutes when Mary Palmer was unable to play. Good luck to next year s team. By Margaret Hanna 30
