GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Our 1948-’49 basketball squad has been perhaps not better than in previous years, but certainly more successful and a much greater threat to our competitors. The games have been close and fast which, need- less to say, adds to the spectators, as well as the players’ interest and excitement. Members of the teams, both boys and girls, plus non-members from high school, Jr. high and faculty helped to provide our visitors and our- selves with cocoa and sandwiches after each game and even proved use- fulat the menial task of cleansing the dirty dishes.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL This year our boys' basketball team, newly christened the Mar- oons,” won 50 per cent of the league games played and gave a fine dis- play of sportsmanship. The scoring line was sparked by our high- scorers for the year, Co-Captains Keith Bidwell and Kendall Fisk, ably assisted by Hod Symes, our capable young forward who proved to be indispensable in tight spots and on foul shots. We had two competent guards, Phil Basch, who blocked off the opponent’s scoring line many times, and Charles Frost, noted for spectacular center-line shots. This year we played four games out of the league, two with Whit- comb High of Bethel, and two with Concord. A bus was taken to all games, and the team’s thanks goes to Henry Powers for financial aid offered by The Alumni for transportation. — T birty —
