GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Wells River High School girls’ basketball team started practice on Monday, October 16. The outlook for the forthcoming season was not as bright as it had been in former years as the squad consisted of no seniors, two juniors and lower classmen. Most of the girls had had at least one year of basketball but it was almost certain that lack of experience would be our greatest draw-back. Through graduation we had lost Helen Flanders, our very capable captain and high scorer of the previous year. There will be no loss of players this year and the girls are looking forward to next year. Lucille Hesseltine was captain of this year’s team and Bernice Crapo was high scorer, both members of the junior class. All home games except the Newbury game were ref- ereed by Mr. Emerson of Bradford. The Newbury game was refereed by Mr. Mosher of Mclndoes. The girls’ team wish to express their gratitude to the own- ers of the cars furnished us during the season and also to George Downing for a very efficient job of managing the team. 26

BOY’S BASKETBALL I he varsity completed a successful season, winning the last nine of ten games. All regulars were veterans of six years’ experience and all worked together as a unit. Co- operation was the raw material and teamwork was the finished product. Only two had been lost by graduation, namely, Clayton Forehan and Robert Hudson. Both played their share and were missed to a great extent. Harvey Goodell, by unanimous vote of all the players, was elected captain. In this capacity he proved an able leader. The varsity squad consisted of: Forwards—Frederick George and John Goodell; Center—Benjamin Hanson; Guards Robert AN inship and Harvey Goodell. Eugene Latumau alternated as a Junior arsity player and a Varsity substitute. Home games were well refereed by Dean Emerson of Bradford Academy and Chandler Mosher of Mclndoes Acad- emy. Games were scheduled by George Downing, Manager of the squad. 28
