Dale Ellis

 

I don't collect sports cards, but it was laying on the street, it had a photo on it, so I said, "What the hell, why not?" Dale Ellis was born on August 6, 1960.  He had a pretty good career. Not a Hall of Fame career, but quite respectable.  He played 19 years and averaged 15.7 points per game. 

Dana Hall School For Girls 12

This album pages seems to be all about student activities.  The top photo, a wide picture that takes up the top of the album page, is the school play.  Since Dana Hall was a girls school, I'd assume all the actors are female students.  And then, picture number two and four has the students marching and doing calisthenics on the outdoor basketball court.  Gym class, or are they warming up for a game?

Once again, click on Dana Hall School in the labels section at the bottom of the post to see more album pages and to get more information.

Girl's Basketball

When did girls start playing high school sports?

Written on the back "1940  L-R Leatrice Sabovrin, Betty Griffits, Carrie Curnan, Alina Paskowitz, Ora Sfeddo, Elaine Ugone, Clair Webster, Irene Rui, Nancy Whitiker, Doty Piccin, Judy Griffits, Phylis Whitiker, Coach Joe Vinick"

And yes, I did double check the spelling.  I suspect Griffits should be Griffiths, and Whitiker should be Whitaker. Which, of course, brings into question the other spellings.

Above the Rim

White men can't jump? Well, this guy needed a bit of help. Dated "MAR 70" That means that number 41 is right around 60 or so, and still can't jump.
