GIRLS' ATHLETICS GIRLS' BASKETBALL Coach Cole and her girls began bas- ketball practice the first p-art of No- vember. With great determination, the girls worked hard to improve over last year's record and to learn the new two-court basketball which was first introduced here this year. As they had seventeen games ahead of them, they had some- thing to work for, and each girl was determined to have a position on the first squad, Roberta Cooper, a forward, proved to be a capable cap-tain. The season opened by playing Stu- art there and bringing home the vic- tory for Winterset High. The girls were considered very lucky, being un- defeated until the county tournament, in which they took second place. A few weeks later they entered the sectional tournament at Martensdale, where they defeated Spring Hill in their first game. The girls were de- feated in the second game by Norwalk. Two class tournaments were played: both were won by the seniors. The first was played by girls not on the squad, and the other one was played by both squad members and girls from the different classes. The W Club this year consisted of girls winning letters last year. These were Bernice Comp, Roberta Cooper, Eleanor Roach, Arletta Cox, June Sim- mons, and Orvetta Slmith. A few pic- nics ancl hikes were held during the early fall. Officers were as follows: president, Roberta Cooper: vice presi- dent, Eleanor Rbachg and secretary and treasurer, Bernice Comp. Eight girls received letters this year, three of whom received letters for the first time. Five of those receiving let- ters will be lost by graduation, but there is still promise of a good team for next year. Those receiving letters were Captain Roberta Cooper, Arletta Cox, Rae Lena Addy, June Simmons, Eleanor Roach, Maxine Harrell, Mary Jo Bruns, and Bernice Comp. l-io-.-..
