ROBERT GARVIN—Bob is the high school tall man, best soloist (especialy during the noon hour in home room while standing on the radiator), and stands second in his class this year. As you might expect, he plays center on our basketball team; in fact he was high man in points this year. Bob seems to have an interest near the post office (not male!) for his car has been reported seen there rather late at night. What about that, Bob? This fall he plans to enter Westminster College, and we know he'll give little old Wells River a good showing. LE()N WIX CM ESTER—I ..eon is a quiet person. He is a very good businessman though he never hurries anything; but let me tell you when Leon does a job, it is done right. Leon is one of the members of the physics class and he performs experiments; but unlike a fellow classmate, he does not man- age to make quite as much mess; in fact, he is quite a scien- tist. If you hear anyone playing the piano about four o’clock, it will be Leon practicing; he is a very good player, and he thinks he'll keep it up at some music school next year. Good luck, Leon, and be sure to strike the right key! Senior write-ups by 22 Bill Rowden ’48

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Our girls’ basketball team had quite a successful season this year. To our coach, Mrs. Gibson, must go the credit for our eleven victories out of fifteen games because it was under her very able leadership that we were able to do this. The line-up was as follows: Forwards, Catherine Mays, manager '17; Shirley Hill '47; Betty Pudvah '48; Lucille Judd '48; Patricia Stearns '49; Nancy Gould '49. Guards: Jean Rowell, captain '47; Barbara Beckley '47; June Sheehan '48; Margaret Bailey '48; Marion Webster '49; Blanche Cush- ing '49. High scorer was Patricia Stearns with 199 points; next, Shirley Hill with 136 points. To start our basketball season an alumni basketball game and dance was enjoyed. For all alumni it will be of interest to know how we did on this affair. Total income—$259.50; total expenses including postage, printing, police, orchestra, tax and officials—$11(5.88; total profit—$142.62. The profit was spent this way—boys’ uniforms and equipment—$78.22; reserved for the girls—$64.40. With the amount reserved for the girls, the girls’ basketball teams hopes next year to have new uniforms when lower prices and better quality of cloth will make it more worth while to purchase them. To all those who helped us this year in one way or another go our grateful thanks. Before closing, a word should be said about the girls’ and boys’ game which was played on March 21. Although we, the weaker sex, lost, a lot of fun was achieved by our taking part in this game. As for the boys’ it was noticed that they did a lot of protesting from which no good came.
