Mr. Stone returned to coach us this year, and many new plays were worked out under his guidance. Next year’s team will be greatly handicapped by loss of first-string members Bidwell, Basch, Fisk, Frost, and able 6th man Martin. How- ever, next year’s team will benefit from the return of Symes, Gonyer, Hutchins, Kaiser, and Kenneth Fisk, all promising players who saw a considerable amount of action this year. Individual scores as follows: Bidwell, 262; Fisk, 176; Symes, 97; Frost, 70; Basch, 23; Martin, 12; Kaiser, 7; Hutchins, 6; Hall, 2; Mahnker, 2; Kenneth Fisk, 1. -WRHS— GAME SCORES WRHS 40 — Danville 31 WRHS 45 — St. J.

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 —
