THE BASKET-BALL GIRLS 0F I904. BELLE PiLL1FANT. What a time we had trying to get up a team for this year. When the season opened only a few girls signed their names to the list for Basket-Ball. This nearly discouraged our instructor, Miss Lanyon, but when the girls really awoke to the fact that it was time for Basket-Ball, my! How they all scrambled to get a place on the team. How enthusiastically we set to work practicing, for we resolved to try hard to win the Pennant which was offered to the winning team in the League composed of Deerfield Township, New Trier and VVaukegan High Schools. Our first game was with Highland Park but, alas, we lost by the small score of 6 to 3. But this did not discourage us in the least for we were determined upon Winning the next game, which we did, from New Trier. Vile were again defeated by Highland Park but won from New Trier. The pennant was wen by Highland Park. We all assembled at Highland Park for the awarding of the Pennant and Boys Banner and what a good time we had, for, al you all know, the Waukegan Girls never bear malice toward anyone even when they lose. Our last game was with Lake Forest University and they made np to us by giving us a good time after we were beaten. To celebrate all the good times, we Basket-Ball Players had we united with the Boys in giving a Banquet which we all at- tended and after giving three cheers for the VVaukegan High School Girls and Boys we separated at a late hour for our homes.
