10 THE CYCLONE BOYS’ BASKET BALL TEAM OF ’27 AND '28 First Row: Principal Rip ton, Montena. Captain Dickinson, Smith, Woodward. Manager Lane. Second Row: Menshausen, W. Smith. Maltbie. Remington. McCuen, Wilsey. BOYS’ BASKET BALL TEAM In the annals of high school athletics in Warrensburgh. the basketball team of 1927- 28 should stand out prominently. The team, with its thirteen victories and four defeats, was one of the best ever turned out. It was defeated but once in the Adirondack League and consequently it became the winner of the Silver Basketball. The team was very erratic. It showed its best skill against Fort Ann. and played its worst game against North Creek. Although the expenses for the season were more than a small high school team could really afford, the team proved a financial success. At the close of the season, Menshausen was voted the most valuable player on the team. The only players who will be lost through graduation are J. H. Smith. Dickin- son and Wilsey; and this loss should not seriously weaken the chances for another successful year. The members of the team wish this op portunity to thank all those who took part in the Vaudeville, and especially the faculty who, for the benefit of the boys, burdened themselves with the task of making the show a success.

zjygugygy LZfa THE CYCLONE 9 GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM OF '27 AND ’28 First Row: Bisbee, O'Keefe. Crandall, Captain Turner, Farrar. Bruce. Second Row Pasco, Coach DuBois, Winslow, Smith. Daniel, Langworthy. Cameron. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM Soon after school started in September, the girls became anxious for basketball to begin. There was more than one reason for this. One of these was that the other sports like tennis and volley ball, had become tire- some and we wanted something new, but the most important reason was because we had a new coach. Miss DuBois succeeded in interesting the girls in basketball and for the first practice there were between twenty and twenty-five girls who came out. All the season we had between ten and fifteen out. and this was unusual because other years by the end of the season we did not have more than one “sub” left practicing. We were in the Adirondack League in which the other teams were Luzerne, Cor- inth. Fort Ann, South Glens Falls and Glens Falls Academy. We also played two games with North Creek high school and one with the Alumnae. Of the thirteen games we played we won seven games. The Corinth girls succeeded in winning the most number of games in the Adirondack League, and the trophy was presented to them. The girls’ team of '28 and '29 will be the same with the exception of the two for- wards. and we wish the team a very suc- cessful next year. MURIEL TURNER. '28.
