GIRLS' BASKETBALL At the close of the 1955-56 basketball season, the score book tallied eleven victories and five defeats for the West Shore girls, thus giving them third place in the Lower Susquehanna Conference. Throughout the season, the games were high lighted bythe tremendous defensivejob done hy the guards and the accurate shooting ofthe forwards. The high ideals of sportsmanship and the love of basketball were ever present during each game. Even when suffering a defeat, their sportsmanship still showed through. Perhaps the best way to express the spirit ofthe team, is this small poem which they used to guide them through the season: When the one great scorer comes to write against our name, He writes not that weive won or lost But how we played the game. Miss Jones-Coach Row I: Shearer, Bentley, Baldwin, Kimmel, Brickley, Allen. Row 2: Brewen, Beavers. Zimmerman, Marshall, Busler Goodall Umholtz, Miss Jones, Snoderly. -I i 2. t H .... . . fgfg.e,f.7..gtMg.gsmwrfMma .awww n.M..mW1.1- o 1 f l 93
