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.
