The Wells River High School girls’ basketball team start- ed out the basketball year with a very dismal outlook. Through graduation we had lost Margaret Goodell and Gertrude John- son, co-captains, Avis Pierce and Erla Darling because their parents moved out of town, Beatrice Currier who failed to come back to school and Elsie Wheelock because of serious illness. All were regulars on the 1038 championship team. Helen Flanders was the only one of these players who had had practical experience and about her Mr. Wells, the coach, built a team that did excellent work in spite of the lack of ex- perience. Although we lose only one of the first team players this year, the outlook for next year is not especially encouraging, but with another year of seasoning, the girls look forward to a team that will compete with other teams in our class. Helen Flanders did a very efficient job of captaining and was also high scorer. The home games were very ably refer- eed by “Pat” Hill of Wells River, and Mr. Emerson, a teacher 26 GIRLS' BASKETBALL

SCHOOLBOY PATROL The Schoolboy Patrol was resumed this year under the auspices of the Vermont Motor Vehicle Department and the American Automobile Association. Safety Officer Harry Dickens visited us several times during the year, advising and encouraging us. There were six members enrolled this year: Edward Saw- yer, 1 year; Eugene Laturnau, 1 year; George Leonard (Lieu- tenant), 1 year; Benjamin Hanson, 2 years; Frederick George, 2 years, and Robert Winship (Captain), 4 years. Mr. Dickens showed a four-reel talking picture on “High- way Safety” and “Sports.” We invited nearby schools, the Woodsville School Patrol and the townspeople to attend. Many people indicated that their interest in public safety had been more thoroughly aroused as a result of seeing this picture. We went to the Annual School Patrol Convention in Bur- lington and had a fine time, making a good showing in the parade. We had another very interesting trip as guests of Rep. W. B. Clark at a session of the legislature in Montpelier. 28
