team who gave a wonderful ac-count of themselves at the N. H.Basketball Championship atManchester.

We came home with victoriesin leadership and sportsmanshipand left a warm heart to thepeople of Manchester.

Our first game was with Dov-er on Thursday night at 9:00p.m. We defeated Dover to en-ter the semi-finals against St.Joseph's of Manchester, a teamthat drew a bye.

Our boys came through witha thriller 33-31 that broke thehearts of every person in Man-

j Chester. Then came our heart-' break against Concord. The fightlasted until the final whistle wasblown and we lost 31-24.

The finest and cleanest gamesplayed were those in which Ber-lin participated.

Credit must be given to ourcheerleaders as many a commentwere made that they were thebest dressed girls on the floor.These comments came from peo-ple of Manchester, Nashua andConcord.

The fine play of our boysplaced three on the All-tourneyteam — the Labnon twins andClayton Stenberg.
