 S) IP © (R,1j5 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Due to a late start, our basketball season was very short. Our first game, which was played with Newbury, we lost. We won our next two games with Groton, and our fourth and last game, which we also lost was again with Newbury. As we have not had a team in two years, almost every- one was inexperienced, RoseLee Hooker being our only veteran player. Although we did not win many victories, we did gain much experience. Next year we hope the season will be longer and more successful. Members of the squad were: Barbara Bidwell, forward Jean Garvin, forward Doris Sawyer, forward Dorene Pudvah, forward Adean Guay, forward Jean Rowell, guard Audrey Bidwell, guard Beverly Brizzee, guard RoseLee Hooker, guard Members of the squad wish to thank Mrs. Charles Gibson for her fine job as coach.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL This year we started our season with a home game with Newbury which we lost by a close score. A few days later, we journeyed to Thetford Hill. We again lost but we played a very good game even though the hall was very small and full of smoke. We next played two games with Groton, one here and one there. We won them both by very good scores. We again lost a return game to New- bury. Our last game was a home game with Thetford and another loss. None of our team had ever played be- fore and with this year’s experience we’re very optimistic for next year. Members of the squad were: Clifton Stearns, forward Robert Normand, forward Robert Garvin, forward Norman Beckley, center James Davidson, forward Dean Rowden, guard Harry Bickford, guard Everett Dargie, guard Members of the squad wish to express their thanks to Mrs. Charles Gibson, who did a fine job of supervising. High scorer, Norman Beckley; captain, Clifton Stearns; manager, Dean Rowden. GIRLS’ VOLLEY BALL Last fall in Physical Education Class we organized a volley ball team. We purchased a ball and with the help of the boys, made a court in the back of the school. New- bury came up to play us and we won the game. Our luck soon changed, however, and we lost our return match with them. We enjoy this sport very much and are in hope that there will be more of it next year. —Doris Sawyer ’45 26
