Very best of luck to the girls

serving coach, Miss Lewis.
Folks I made an awful mistake
last week when l said the great
Christmas Dance at HIS. was to
be held on Thursday, December 10.
That was the original date set, but
because of circumstances beyond my
knowledge, the date was changed to
Friday, December 20. The only thing
l said right was ''The affair is semi
formal and everyone is invited. >
(Amen)
The gym was beautifully decorated
for the dance, in Christmas colors.
Those to be complimented for the
splendid job of decorating are: chair
man of the decorations, Gloria Mos
er; chairman of the refreshments,
Louise Warner.
Music and entertainment were
supplied (abundantly) by (this will
kill you Gel Smith and his "Melod-
ious Mob of Melody Washers" Be
lieve me, everyone had swell time!
The Dramatics Club, which so
presented the pageant,
''Why The Chimes Rang" to the stu
dent body at HIS. Friday, may
now boast of having the following
who were elected at meet
ing last week: President, Mary Jane
secretary, Jackie Williams;
and treasurer, Doris Roney.

The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1946-12-26

Yesterday everyone in the whole
country celebrated the blessed holi-
day with the exchanging of gifts and
meal that was too lovely to eat,
but too good to stop eating (once
started) and a lot of Christmas songs,
music and fun.
So you see I'm almost afraid to
write this weeks column, because
most school kids want to forget
school and everything concerned,
when they have couple of weeks
vacation like this.
But take a little advise from me
pals-here is your opportunity to
make those book reports that have
been hanging over you for weeks.
And don't forget to catch up on your
history
Do you know anything about bas-
etball, especially girls basketball?
You know there are six girls on
team : three forwards and three
guards. Forwards have the greatest
advantage in the world, they just
have to be ready to receive a ball,
and be able to aim straight, and
make a score when they are sup
posed to-for a forward just isn't,
unless she can get to the basket.
l suppose most of you know all
about forwards, because you see
their names on the sports page of the
paper everyday, with their fouls
and goals printed beside them. But
l bet there is one thing you don't
know, and that is just what
team work it takes to get that ball
and keep it.
For this work there are always the
guards. They never have the glory
of making the winning goal, but
they see that the ball is passed to
their forwards to make the baskets
and they have to be good TO prevent
the opposing team from scoring.
Teamwork has to grow from
scratch and it takes a long time.
That's why think HIS. has the
best three-some at guard this year
than they have had in long time
namely Mary Palovitz (also captain
of the team, Phyllis Rohrer Center
guard and co-captain) and Virginia
Kretzer. These three girls have been
pals since their sophomore days Gall
are seniors now and naturally learn
ed each others ways. Last year they
were on the varsity, but you might
as well say they sat on the bench
the whole season, for they seldom
had chance to play. However, they
did have the experience of teamwork
at practice, and it sure came in
handy.
This year they have played in both
our games, which were with st. |
Mary's and Waynesboro (by the way, |
we won both games). Although there
have been some rough spots, they
have the fight and determination to
work up a good three-some at guard. |
For, you see, when they're on the
floor they work for each other.
Their coach is Miss Lewis, gym |
instructor at HIS, who has worked |
hand in hand with them, and in her |
eyes Phyllis Rohrer is as fast as a
little deer when she comes out from
under the basket. "She is up to the
line with the ball and back under the |
basket before the opposing team
knows what has happened" Dona
Stouffer at times plays at Phyllis

Strond Shows PIT Boot Film
 They Were Dependable
 Naval Combat Story

With Robert Montgomery and John Wayne topping a superb cast, brilliantly directed by Capt. John Ford, "They Were Dependable came to the Strand Theatre We'd nesday as a courageous drama, packed with excitement and thrills, and depicting the heroic saga of the fight of PIT boat squadron against overwhelming odds.
 Both Montgomery and Director Ford resume their screen work in this M-G-M adaptation of William L. Whites best-seller novel, after an absence of four years in which each saw naval combat action.
 Montgomery plays It. Brickley' commanding MTB Squadron Three. When Cavite falls, he and his second in command, It. (j. g. Rusty" Ryan CWayne) are anxious to prove the worth of their six PIT boats and the dauntless quality of their crews.
 The PTS are ordered to get Jap cruiser in Fort Binanga when their shelling mares the position untenable for U. s. troops. Ryan is held in hospital with blood pois- oning while two boats of the squad ron torpedo and sink the cruiser. But one PIT boat has been sabotag- ed and has tO be abandoned and sunk.
 Though he is in love with an Army nurse, Sandy Davys Donna Reed), Ryan compels the doctor to release him before his are is heal ed. Four PTS are left on the day that news of Singapore's fall comes. Brickley and Ryan evacuate high ranking officers to Mindanao, whence they are flown to Australia.
 Steadily the Japs whittle down the PIT squadron until only one boat is left, then Rrickly sees his last boat made useless. He, Ryan and two others are flown out to Aus tralia. These four veterans of the early Philippines fighting are to train PIT crews, so that they will be ready when the proper time comes to join other forces in help ing Gen. MacArthur keep his famed promise-'T shall return"
 Montgomery offers a penetrating and flnely-shaded portrayal as the skipper whose unrelenting faith in the worth of his PIT boats goads his men on to heroic gallantry. It is role that starSds up with the best of his earlier work and again demonstrates him to be one of the screens sterling performers.
