Standing, left to right: Russell Parker, Mr. Branley, coach, Grover Mitchell, Mark Dumas. The basketball team played as an in- dividual team this year. The quintet played two games with Spencer, Brook- field, North Brookneld, Rutland, and Cole Tradeg and one game with Monson Acad- emy and the alumni. They won both games from Brookfield, one Rutland game, and the game with alumni. The Seniors were represented on the team by Nelligan and Parker. The Juniors made a good showing by having six play- ers on the team, Odiorne, Malzenski, Reim, Obartuck, Esty, and Cieslak. The Sophomores had one man on the team, Witaszek. The Freshmen were represented by Dumas. The North Brookfield game provided the keenest competition of the season. In the first quarter Warren got the tap and passedg North Brookfield intercepted the pass. The whistle blew. A North Brook- field player fouled. Everyone waited breathlessly as the player posed on the foul-shot line. He shot. It was a clean shot, and North Brookfield got the first point of the game and a great deal of applause. North Brookfield scored two field goals before Warren scored a point. The first point was a foul shot by Esty. Before the whistle for the quarter, Parker shot another clean basket and the quarter ended, North Brookfield 5, Warren Warren was shooting quite often in the first quarter, but failed to find the basket. The second quarter was played quite fast, with North Brookfield making the first two baskets. After that Warren held the North Brookfielders down and scored two baskets. The half ended with North Brookfield leading 9 to 7.

Standing, left to right: Gertrude Sausville, Evelyn Cliickering, Miss Florence Sullivan, coach, Bernadette Lavallee, Phyllis Burbank. The Warren sextette played a much faster game this year than it has for some years past. Particularly was this evident when the Orange and Black middies out- scored Rutland, an undefeated team. This success was due to Wanda Obartuek's one-handed flips from the corner of the court, Jean lVlacDougall's over-the-head shots, the Close guarding of Stephanie Obartuck and Eleanor Mongeon, the pass- work of Gertrude Madigan and Gertrude Sausville, and the fast center Work of Helen Walsh. The Junior girls seem to be the most athletically inclined, if we are to judge from the number of letters in basketball won by that class. Jean MacDougall. Wanda Obartuek, Stephanie Obartuck, Gertrude Madigan, Eleanor Mongeon, and Gertrude Sausville are the Junior letter- girls, while Helen Walsh and Bernadette Iiavallee are the sole representatives of the Senior and Freshman classes respec- tively. The team was unfortunate in losing Jean MacDougall, one of the best for- wards, when half the basketball season was over. We also lose, through gradua- tion, our captain Helen Walsh.

16 p At the end of the half both teams came on the floor quite refreshed. It was a fairly fast quarter, with both teams foul- ing quite often. During the last minute of play Warren scored and was leading 15 to 14 at the whistle. The fourth quarter was the most in- teresting. Odiorne and his opponent were taken out. It looked for a few seconds as if we would have a little fistic play, but the referee decided to give each a rest, so the game went merrily on. Then Esty was taken out for four fouls. It looked bad for Warren. Esty had done a good job THE gg g g grgg png!- by holding down North Brookfield's best man to one field goal and a foul shot. After Warren had lost two good men, North Brookfield had a fairly easy chance of winning. Perrin of North Brookfield should have been fouled out, but somehow the manager didn't have it down in his books. Parker was high scorer for War- ren, and played a clean game, with the game ending in North Brooktield's favor, 23 to 17. Nelligan also played fine basket- ball and was congratulated by the referee. Both of these players will graduate and will be missed considerably next year. Girls' Track Seated, left to right: Eleanor Mongeon, Gertrude Madigan, Helen Walsh, Wanda Obartuck.
