BASKETBALL GIRLS ' The girls did not play a regular noon tourna- ment in basketball. But the girls were good sports about it. The L-8 ' s and H-8 ' s basketball inter-school teams weren ' t too successful in win- ing games, but they won with their sportsman- ship. The L-9 ' s and H-9 ' s lost to Burbank but won over Garfield. We had loads of fun and there was loads of good sportsmanship. With the help of Jane Mills the girls ' noon league for softball had a better start. Our soft- ball inter-school teams were grand but still did not win all their games. The L-8 ' s and H-8 ' s lost both of their games. The L-9 ' s and H-9 ' s lost to Burbank, but again won over Garfield. This soft- ball season has been a succeessful one, due to the grand sportsmanship of the girls. GLORIA GAPASIN BOYS ' This basketball season, Willard has had four consistent teams, the Unlimiteds, 115-pounds, 105 ' s, and the 95 ' s. The 95 ' s, a good spirited team, placed them- selves in second place. The 105 ' s, combining sharp-shooting and good sportsmanship, ran second in their league. The 1 1 5 ' s, another sharp-shooting team, went cn up to win their league and became cham- pions. They were also champions of a Saturday playground league. But the Unlimiteds, with the most outstanding record of sharp-shooting, confidence and team- work, which were very important, went on through their season without a defeat. And be- sides becoming champions of the inter-school league, they went on to become city champs. Win or lose, the fight and the sportsmanship in our teams made us proud to be represented by them.
