A WELL BALANCED PROGRAM JUNIOR I-IIGH BASKETBALL The Junior High Basketball team of Coach Ben Pollock came through the 1947- 1948 season with a record of twelve wins and four defeats. The team, which is composed of seventh and eighth graders, uncovered a great deal of talent and with a little more experience and guidance will surely make cham- pionship teams.

JE!! LEADERSHIP, LOYALTY AND CO-OPERATION JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL The Junior High Football squad under the guidance of Coach William Reed had a tough job this year. The boys were new and inexperienced, and, although many of their games were played with teams above their class, those boys werenit downhearted. Now they are ready to advance to the junior varsity. By the time they have reached the varsity you will be familiar with them and they will know quite a bit more about football. This system of building teams will provide the future champions of Blooms- burg High School. OUR COACHES AND FACULTY MANAGERS Along the sidelines, out of the spotlight, are our coaches and faculty managers who have worked long and hard to put our teams on top of the sports ladder. A long time before the playing seasons open faculty managers, Harold Miller and George Mordan, are busy getting all equipment in First-class condition. Such planning as this requires skill and demands long hours of hard Work on the part of the managers with little recognition for their outstanding services. The moulding of a squad into a smooth-playing, game-Winning team depends on the coach. Coaches Golder and Pollock have proven themselves to be Hiop flight in the coaching field for both have produced winning teams. Both coaches are ailed by interested and enthusiastic assistants who have been important fac.ors detumining the success of the teams. On the football field Mr. Polloek's assistant was Mr. Charlcs Cox. lVlr. William Reed and lVIr. Ben Pollock assisted Mr. Golder on the bask tball court. On the baseball diamond, Mr. Gololer's assis ant was Mr. Harold Hidlay. In dedicating this page to the coaching staff and faculty managers We Wish to thank them for the splendid job they havz done in the sports field for good old B. H. S. and hope they Hkeep up the good Work!'l 60

We -w AND THE FINEST EDUCATION VARSITY BASEBALL-I 947 Bloomsburg High School, for the first time in its history, won the Columbia County Baseball Championship. They also copped the first District No. 4 Title ever staged by the P. I. A. A. The winner of the Columbia County League is determined by the Shaughnessy eliminations. In the playoffs Bloomsburg romped to victories over Locust and Conyng- ham to clinch the championship. By accomplishing this feat, the Panthers gained the right to enter the District No. 4 playoffs. Three successive wins over Watsontown, Sunbury and Troy enabled Bloomsburg to claim the title of District No. 4 champions. The team batted at a terrific clip for an average of .357 and a total number of 66 extra base hits. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Golder and Mr. Hidlay, Bloomsburg won eighteen of twenty games for an excellent season but much building will be necessary in the spring of 148 as eleven men were lost from the squad either by age or by graduation. 1947 BASICBAL1.
