SWEATERS AWARDED

The sweaters awarded the Sew ard high school girls basketball team, were received on the last steamer from the south and to say the individual members are proud, would be putting it mildly, They are of light blue, not a navy blue, with blue and white letter on the left side. On the left arm white stripes, one for every year on the team, is worn. A star, also on the arm, denotes the captain. AS an example Cecil Leslie has four white stripes and a star.
