P onnie Matheny wills his intelligence to anybody who isn’t smart, his saddle horse, Hornet, to Dean Forgey for hog feed and his boxing ability to Bob Owens. Betty Colpitts wills her personality to Janice Dodd, her typing ability to Gary Bunten and her figure to the less fortunate girls of Anatone High. Jack Bezona wills his old basketball suit to Frank Scheibe, his curly hair to Jim Weissenfels, so that he won’t have to rely on Toni’s any more, and his love for the girls to Bob'Colpitts. Basketball Summary Anatone ended its basketball season with a record of thirteen wins and seven losses. High lights of the season was a loss to Joseph, Oregon in the second overtime by a score of 56-57. February 7th was the date set for a playoff between Anatone and Asotin to decide a tourney berth in the sub-district tournament at Walla Walla. With the lead changing hands several times throughout the game, Asotin finally cinched a win with a last minute basket to go ahead and post a winning score of 33-37. Bad luck played a leading role in the Wildcats squad. Jack Lohman, Senior center, was lost to the squad after wrenching his knee in a game against Pomeroy at the start of the season. This later resulted in an operation which kept Jack on crutches for a few weeks. It is with great regret that Anatone will bid farewell to six Senior boys who played stellar ball the entire season. Of these. Jack Lohman was elected Captain with Dean Forgey, a Junior, receiving the most number of votes for Co-Captain. The remaining Seniors and positions played are as follows: Philip Johnson—Forward Jack Bezona--Center Dean Miller--Guard Don Scheibe—Guard Jerry Combs—Center Other players contributing to the success of the squad included Bud Amen, Jerry Boggan, Gerald Lohman, Frank Scheibe and Jim Weisenfels. 13

They played a few tunes and announced that they had a new trombone player, Miss Nancy Schwartz. She must really be good by now. Imagine playing with a big time orchestra. I rounded a corner and drove into my own driveway. I was very glad to get home, as I had had a most tiring day.
