TENNIS TEAM The tennis team has played eight matches to date, winning three and losing five. This rather mediocre showing is due to the strong opposition encountered during the season now drawing to a close. The Wildcats, with little actual experience, fought hard and long throughout the year and did their best to uphold the school and its reputa- tion for Fine teams and outstanding sportsmanship. The members of the team are as follows: Campbell Henderson, No. 1, John Pope Fishburne, No. 2, Fletcher Riddle, No. 3, Frankie Padgett, No. 4, Teddy Padgett, No. 5, and Edward Strickland, No. 6. None of these men is to be graduated this year, and they are expected to form a strong nucleus for 1941 squad. The sponsor for the team was Spencer Elliott, grammar school principal. The season’s record is as follows: Walterboro 6 Walterboro 6 Walterboro 0 Walterboro 2 Walterboro 0 Walterboro 2 Walterboro 5 Walterboro 1 Beaufort ...................... 0 Orangeburg .................... 2 Porter ........................ 7 Porter ........................ 6 St. Paul ...................... 6 Charleston .................... 6 Orangeburg .................... 4 St. Paul ...................... 6 28
