1937 THE ANNUAL GIRLS' BASKETBALL Coach, Sally T. Bigganeg Captain, Marion Bryant, Mfzzmgur, Frances Fligler. Games played, 45 Won, 4. Outstanding game, Winchester. Outstanding players, Marion Bryant, Helen Ronk. This season the varsity basketball squad was undefeated. Their schedule was short, but the competition was with undefeated teams. The Winchester game was one of the best and most exciting of all the contests. Each team had to play very hard to gain the advantage. However, Watertown came home with the honors. Captain Marion Bryant and Helen Ronk, the two varsity guards, played ex- ceptionally well this season and may well be called outstanding players. At the close of the season, interclass games were played with Newton. The Juniors and Middlers were successful, but the Seniors were overtopped 18ff8. Vivian Seiple, an excellent forward, had previously been chosen manager of hockey, but gave this up to become captain of the basketball squad for next year. Helen Rosenske, a jump center, was chosen manager.
