He received his training at Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, where he was a member of the varsity basketball team. He came to Ansonia during the 1939-40 season and has done splendid work in improving our team. Mr. Walker is respected by all of us not only because he led our team to a third place standing in the county tournament, but because he shows good sportsmanship at all times. He has maintained a high standard for citizenship, which no doubt, is the reason for his success. He has proved that if we respect our school and uphold its standards we will not only improve the school but our selves as well. - 1 E- 1 CHEERLEADERS These pretty young ladies -- . Lois Dickey, Pauline George, Phyllis Beisner, and Treva Curtis - did a fine job of cheering the team. They worked hard and we wish to thank them for their efforts. We also wish to thank Miss McKinley for the help which she gave them.

GEORGE KLIPSTINE Klippy is a valuable Sophomore guard who played in every game. He is a good defensive man, having held some of the best scorers in Darke County to a minimum number of baskets. He earned his first letter during the 1940-41 season and will no doubt be a valuable asset to future squads. PAUL DOHSE Dohse is a tall, stocky Senior guard. He was forced to watch the game during the first half of the season but came back to make a regular. He is a good bankboard man. Paul had the honor of being selected honorary captain by the members of the team. He received his third award. ROBERT SMITH Smith is our Senior forward who was chosen on the all- county team. He turned in excellent games at the county tourney to receive individual runner-up scoring honors. Bob also received awards for foul shooting during both his Junior and Senior years. He received his second varsity award let- ter. BASIL TIMMONS Timmons is a Senior guard who was consistently scrap- ping and giving his best. He was fast and clever enough to turn in a good defensive game any time. He has been play- ing against scholastic competition for four years and has won his third varsity award. JOHN MINTON Minton is a tall Sophomore guard who probably shows more interest in basketball than any other boy in school. He lacks consistency, but has turned in some excellent offensive work to become the the high scorer of the season. He re- ceived his second varsity letter. it as Y X , S g
