GIRLS' BASKETBALL
1955-56
The basketball season, 1955-56, got off to a bad start in the COSSA tournament, due to the lack of a Senior Team. However, the Juniors fought hard, only to be defeated by Midland in a close game. Players such as Pauline Metro and Jeannie MacRae proved to be of great value to the team.
Forwards on the team were:
Pauline Metro, Anne Beynon, Jean McEachern and Betty Ter Meer.
Guards were:
Karen Warmington, Jeannie MacRae, Hope VanderSchie, Jean Croft and Louise Shaw.
A vote of thanks and appreciation goes to Mrs. Black who spent much time and effort in working out plays for the team, as well as coaching it.
Thanks are also in store for Yvonne Abercrombie, manager; Mary MacRae, scorer; Donna Allen, timer. Their help was greatry appreciated.
