BOYS’ BASKETBALL This year the boys’ basketball team did very well consider- ing the number that went out for the game. It was a very light team, yet they seemed to get around very well. The organization of the team was the best the school has had for two or three years. There were only eight boys out for basketball and those were: Captain, Scott Rowden; Harvey and John Goodell, Ben- jamin Hanson, Robert Winship, Clayton Forehan, Frederick George and Perley Knighton.

The plan has worked out satisfactorily for all concerned. Our first meet was the S. F. O. C. meet at Woodsville, X. H.. in which we took fourth place. A large number of our boys and girls took part and enjoyed it. The dual meet with Mclndoes Academy at Monroe. X. If., was more satisfactory. e won the meet through Harvey Good- ell’s first in cross country. Scott Rowden’s first in the ski dash, John Goodell’s first in slalom, and Benjamin Hanson's two firsts in snowshoe events. Others placing were, Wheatleigh Wheelock, Raymond Johnson, and Donald Bidwell. At Bradford no team score was published. We placed well and enjoyed the meet.

Nine boys took the two-day trip and we placed eighth among twenty-five schools entering. Highlights of the meet were: our pleasant stay at Ranch Camp out on the side of Mans-
