Appreciation is extended to the townspeople for their co- operation in transporting the three teams to out-of-town games and also for their interest and attendance at local games.

The loss of Harvey Goodell, Frederick George and Robert Winship by graduation will leave a gap which can only partially be filled.

The squad consisted of: Forwards—Donald Merchant and Sheldon Hanson; Center—Eugene Laturnau; Guards—Edward Sawyer and George Leonard.

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
