We were pleased that the players came home with a victory of 34-32. The girls showed good playing for only three days' practice, and set a high mark to keep up to during the season. On December 9th the two teams went to Hallowell. In this game the girls met their first defeat, the score being 22-14. The Green and Whites journeyed to Richmond, December 17th. Our girls came home with an overwhelming vic- tory over Richmond. At the end of the first quarter the score was 11-1, Win- throp's favor. The Richmond's one point was a foul shot. The game ended with the score 20-9. The first game following vacation was with Mechanic Falls, January 2, on our own floor. The Winthrop lassies won, 25-15. January 7th the girls played Bliss College on the Winthrop floor. The game was very close, the first half ending with a score of 20-19, Bliss College's favor. The Winthrop guards got busy during the next quarter and only permitted Bliss to get one basket. The final score was 29-27, Winthrop's favor. January 9th the girls met the unde- feated Gardiner team at Gardiner. The Winthrop girls showed good teamwork but were unable to stop the Gardiner score from climbing above Winthrop's. The score was 26-19. Oakland came to Winthrop January 16th. It looked like a tie game near the end of the first half, 7-7, but Winthrop succeeded in getting a basket, leaving the score 9-7. The Winthrop girls played a fast game the last half and left the final score 22-14. January 31st the Winthrop girls went to Cony to play a much larger school than theirs. Cony won, 41-25. Gardiner came to Winthrop February 6th. The girls showed fine playing and played a fast game, but the undefeated Orange and Blacks won, 32-17. February 13th the girls, not losing courage after losing the last two games, went to Oakland to play the return game. The game was close and both teams were evenly matched. It looked for awhile as though the Winthrop girls would be victorious, but Bunker, the Oakland forward, made baskets too fast for Winthrop. The score was 24-20. Hallowell came to Winthrop, Febru- ary 20th, to play the return game. The Green and Whites were in perfect trim for the game and hoping to offset the loss at Hallowell by winning on their

WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 31 F Captain, sank five pretty shots in a row when the team started on their spree. The season was believed closed after that game, but once more Winthrop was selected as one of the contestants in the Lewiston Small School Tournament, March 6th and 7th. The number of stu- dents allowed each school was 200 to 250, and with this ruling, Winthrop was meeting larger schools of more experi- ence. Jay and Winthrop were rated to play at three o'clock, March 6th. The first quarter ended 13-1 in Winthrop's favor, but after that our boys were up against a brand of playing which en- abled Jay to win the tournament over strong favorites. The score was 37-22. Those receiving letters are as follows: Capt. Irving House Douglass Roberts Mgr. Mayland Cram Roland Berry Charles Gordon Robert House John Nedza To Coach Jordan goes much credit for the line coaching he has given the team in the little time he has to spare. Other schools hire coaches directly for the sports alone and all their efforts can be centered on that one thing. With seven periods in each school day, it is interesting to note that our coach must 'teach six of these periods with only one as a spare. Even under this handicap he has gladly given his aid whenever chance offered and has turned out as gcod teams as schools who allow their coaches plenty of rope. Why do fans kick because our boys lose a game when they themselves can remedy it by allow- ing our coach the time and backing up that only they can give? The players wish to extend their thanks and appreciation for the banquet tended them by the Odd Fellows. At the time this goes to press, the team has selected to participate in the Bangor Small High School Tournament, meeting Carmel High School.

Alumni of Winthrop High School .... l In our attempt to make our alumni section more interesting and accurate, we have se- cured valuable information from Mr. Wm. Morton and several other alumni. The names in the first four classes listed contain some who are not graduates. The first class was enrolled under Miss Luella F. Beale as teacher in the high school. There was at that time no fixed curriculum of studies and the duration of the classes varied. This irregularity is quite noticeable to those acquainted with the period involved. Miss Beale stated that the three classes fsupposedly the lowerj of 1877 and 1878 were united and that the tive members noted were promoted with the other four whom we graduated, or fin- ished school in the spring of 1880. That would indicate that the remaining members of that class would have been rated as of the class of 1881. The first high school was not a town high school, but a District No. 4 school, which included the village. 1880-1881 Russell Keene, deceased. Everett Wood, deceased. Fred Cummings.
