Mary Ann Kitchens, who scored
IL points and 3 rebounds; Carole
Vernotico. who scored 10 points
and 2 rebounds; and Martha Welch
who scored points and re-
bounds.
The guards, who are frequently
overlooked and underrated, were
most essential in upsetting their
Georgetown opponents. Headed by
JEANNE Belts, team captain, the
guards made the following re-
bounds: Belts, 3 Burris, s.; Kir-
by, Z; and Valeisis, 8. Credit is
also due to the team members
who sat on the sidelines and cheer
ed their teammates on to victory.
Even though these players may
sometimes think the adage of "all
work, no play" applies to them
alone, it is not so: they are nee
essary. for only the teams body
is on the court, its spirit is in
the stands.
The varsity team is under the
capable, effective coaching of Mrs.
George Manlove and Miss Cornelia
Shaw, whose tireless efforts are
certainly reaping victorious fruits.
The junior varsity defeated
their opponents SLIP in a very
interesting game of advantage
fluctuations. The high scorers
were: Lufsey.7; Short, 6; Griffith.
2: and Dill, 9 The outstanding
guards were: Jaquette. with re-
bounds Grier, 2; and Diekerson,2.
Mrs. Manlove and Miss Shaw
are doing an admirable job with
these young girls. who show much
potential as future varsity play
ers.
Milford Sweeps Georgetown 70-52
On Tuesday night in the George
town gym, Milford's Junior Var
sity boys team rousingly defeated
Georgetown 20 to 50. This game
set a new scoring record for the
Junior Varsity's current basket
ball season Teamwork was es-
sential to achieve their outstand-
ing score, as we'll as the efforts
of several exceptional players. The
most valuable player of the game
was Mears, who scored 40 points
and IL rebounds. Other high play
ers were: Gibson. II points and
23 rebounds. Galloway, II points
ard IA rebounds; Dallas, points
rebounds: Grier. rebounds;
Bennett. A rebounds; and Adams,
3 rebounds.
Milford played a strong game
and kept a good lead over George
town during all four quarters.
This game was the third straight
victory in the JV's current win
ming streak.
The team under the direction
of Mr. George Manlove, newcom-
er to the Milford faculty this
year. Much credit for this strik-
ing victory goes to his tireless
efforts in developing the boys
skill. We wish the team continued
success in their future games.
Come out and watch the boys win.

Peat Pots

practice. The seeds can be
planted in q bit Of sphagnum

four seeds were put in each
pot it Is q simpla matter to

Some Of this Is undoubtedly

our own climate and soils, and

it is best to depend largely

to try q new variety or kind

Nouel Ways to Tell
The Christmas Story

And a Merry Christmas to
you too.
Though the Yuletide story is
old, it is also ever new, espe-
cially for our children, who
have not experienced as many
Christmases as we have. Also
the manner in which it is cele-
brated takes on new guises as
time goes on. Hence, since this
column is by definition inter
ested in news, we report on
novel ways in which East
Cleveland's grade schools tell
the Christmas story.
Superior:
Wider Horizons
The most interesting things
to study at Superior School at
Christmastime are the large
stairway windows fronting on
Lambert ave. The message they
convey each year might be
summarized as Christmas
plus" In recent years, for
instance, one Of the two win
dows bore a Christmas design,
in the form of a painted trans
parency, while the other one
set forth the Hanukkah story.
This year, Superior is en-
larging its sights still farther.
It's colorful windows bear the
graceful painted figures of
some 40 boys and girls, dressed
in native costumes of lands all
around the world. This is done
as tribute to the United Ma
tons International Children's
Foundation.
Considerable research went
into the costumes to be painted
on these figures. One girl, who
had just come to East Cleve-
land from Brazil, knew exactly
what the Brazilian figure should
wear; she had seen the native
costumes on children in that
land only a few months ago.
Similarly, several others of
Superior's children were able
to pass upon the authenticity
