This can be attributed in part to the fact that a majority of the players were unexperienced sophomores at the time. Coach Lang, however, looking on the bright side, saw much natural talent in these boys' performances. This ability will be developed and for the next two years they will form the hard core of the group. Some of the outstanding players were: sophomores, Bruce Davis, Oswaldo Mercado, and Marvin Myers; juniors, Jerry Gimble, Ronald Brown and Howard Cushnir and senior, William Drennen.

Arts High's basketball team completed a winning and very surprising season ending with a record of eleven wins and seven losses. Arts opened the season against Bloomfield Tech and was defeated, but on the second meeting Arts breezed past the Bloomfield quintet 75-64. This was the story all season long. Arts, under the great coaching of Mr. Flaherty, won every game the second time around except two, one against Paterson Tech and the other against Irvington Tech. Irvington later went on to take the New Jersey Vo-Tech Championship. The most exciting game of the season was a thrilling upset victory over the Arts ROW ONE, l ft to right; Bruce Davit, Larry Davit, Clifford Moddox, Rodnoy Alexander, Rodney Ailet. ROW TWO; Coach Flaherty, Joteph Epps. Marvin Byert. Edward Crawford. Dorian Baiter, Daniel Johnson, Ronald Brown, Otwoldo Mercodo, Malcolm Da vail. Forfeit. highly favored Newark Tech. Going into the third quarter our boys were down by seventeen points, but the team wanted this one badly and they took it in a last second driving lay-up by Larry Davis and a steadily high-scoring game by Rodney Alexander. This gave Arts a sweet though hard-won 72-71 victory. Graduating this June are some of the team's most valuable members. Senior Co-Captains Larry Davis and Cliff Maddox, Joe Epps, Ed Pajok, Ed Crawford, and Ronald Brown will be sorely missed. But there are Junior stars all ready to take their places and the basketball team can look forward to another bigger and better season. Opp. .... Bloomfield Tech ................ 72 ..
