Although we were a little unsuccessful this season, not one time during the season did we let our spirits kindle down, in fact we were more determined to meet our next opponet. Throughout the season we displayed our talent in sportmanship, cooperation and teamwork that has made Naukomis so famous thoughout the past years. Never were there any hard feelings among the players. Many times ours was not the winning score but the rating of sportmanship given to the Waukomis team will always be the highest. We were taught to respect our opponets rat- her than show ill feeling toward them.

When one lost her confidence the other was right there to get her back in the game. That's how we spent three very enjoyable years of basketball together. But it isn't always the main team that wins s ball game. Several instances this year the subs were called upon to get the team out of a rut. Wanda Brawley stepp- in several times this year and did a remarkable job.
