"Without a gymnasium for practice, the team went through a comparatively unsuccessful season. The games in which we take a pride in remembering are: the one against Scotts Hill in their gymnasium (21-19), Tournament in the new gymnasium, adn the defeat of Parsons for third place in the Tri-County (37-15). We would like to forget the others and look forward to a good record next year."

"The girls who went out for basketball this year are expected to make a team next year which can hold its own with the other teams in the district. With only one of the above to graduate and some ten or twelve to come from grammar schoo, the prospects look bright."
