Article 2 Volume 14
The 1960 girls' basketball team played hard at both ends of the court. In those days it was actually two games in one. Three girls played defense at one end of the court, and if the offensive opponent missed a shot and the defense got the rebound, then they would pass the ball to their offensive teammates at the other end of the court so they could score or try to at their end. This is the process they endeared for 4 eight-minute quarters. I can remember being impressed with the performances of Marylene Bolling, Sylvia Beamon, and Mary Langston. They had a winning record. They were coached by Miss Helen Spencer, a stern coach who made sure the team stayed focused on the task at hand. The task? Play to win.
I would welcome any news anybody can send to me about this team

I wonder if there is anyone alive who can name all the girls in the picture. If so, share the good news with us. if not all, as many as you can.
