GIRLS’ BASKETBALL This season has been as successful as last year’s and most enjoy- able. We have played ten league games and four non-league games. Ot these games we lost three and tied one. This made us second in the league for the second time in a row. We were proud as well as pleased to have two of our players on the first all star team, chosen by the league. These girls were Barbara Sawyer and Nancy Mays. Mrs. Gibson has coached and inspired us in all of our games. We hope that she will continue to coach next year. — Twenty-seven —

Toj) Row — (L. to R.) : Coach Stone, Buddy Marden, Robert Provencher, Russell Sulham, John Demeritt and Manager Stephen Bailey. Middle-. Sam Hutchins, Kenneth Fiske, David Egner, Hod Symes, David Gonyer, and David Bidwell. Bottom: Carleton Boyce and Paul Kaiser. BOYS’ BASKETBALL The boys’ basketball team of Wells River High School did not have too much luck this year due to the fact that it was a green team. Symes, Gonyer, Fiske, Kaiser and Hutchins were the only veterans and most of them had seen very little service. Egner had some experience when he moved here but Bidwell, C. Boyce, Sulham, Marden, Demeritt and Provencher had never done any playing. Although they had poor luck, they showed great sportsmanship and never once gave up. Next year, with the return of everyone, the outlook is bright for a successful team. — T wenty-nine —
