' vtalfale ROW iz Mellinger, Redfern, Brubaker, Divine. ROW 2: Miss Jones, Bohl, Diehl, Burk Grossman The Varsity Girls' team ended the season with a 5-8 record to their credit. The lack of experience was twe deciding factor between loss and victory Although they were defeated by points, their spirits were only slightly damp- ened. Miss Jones can boast of the good sportsmanship and love for basket- ball which were displayed by ner girls in each game they played. Doris Red- fern, top scorer for the lassies, set a new Lower Susquehanna Girls' Confer- ence scoring record with a total of 54 points in a game against Cumberland Valley. The Junior Varsity Girls' tea'n, under the coaching of Miss Carol Hiltner, was not quite as fortunate as the varsity team. They ended the season with one win and ten defeats. However, the experience gained will aid them in future years of basketball. MISS JONES, Coach l53 -.ORN
