inn nun A HIGHSGHCOL BOYSV BASKETBALL The Avondale Panthers of 1959-1940 were an outstanding bas- ketball team in many ways. In spmte of the fact that they were not victorious the boys learned many valuable lessons. ' H Tne a.nual league tournament was held at Boon-on February 15-16-17. There was sixteen different teams in the tournament. Vineland won the championship with Swink second and Rye got con- solation. Joe Centa from Vineland got the All American Medalfbr his second time. There were numerious medals given to the diff- erent teams. Avondale received one for high point man in any one game won by Laurence Allen in the Boone and Avondale game. In the league that we were in Vineland came out first Plea- sant Vlew second, Rye got third, Pinion fourth and Avondale got fifth. We proudly present them to you: - Frank Asbury: t . Was an'outstand1ng player at guard and forward. He never gave up until the game was over, Fighting his hardest, displaylngkns skill at teamwork, this athlete will be missed on next years1Bam. Wendell Terwilligerz ' A dependable guard and forward, who always gave his best, played well with other members of the team. He will be very useful on next years team. Q , .

.l T ' r HIGHSGHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL a A CCon'tD I Lester Lnrcum: . I Q ? ' ' 3 Lester's a ress1veness'nnd willin ness were valuable assets to. the team durin the season, He was a bulwark on defensef in holding down the 'uard position. Junior Buffin ton: ' A 'J Junior altho reoortinn st the be inninf of the season withlittm experience rapidly improved to thv point where his worth 'as a forward could not be denied. e Q Willie Rael! . - T - Willie, starting as a second team e1wyer,improved until he- wee placed on the first team for the rest of the season. Willie wUl be a valuable player on our team next year. ' f 4 We musn't forget to ,ive honor ble mention to all our second ' team players who often filled in when needed in the first team. They should all prove to be out standing for our team next'yesr. Then let us consider the Bench. Unlike any other coach, we do not ride in him--he rides us! However, if we fail, he vets the blame. .When he bawls us out, we take heart., When he smiles on us, we are as good as dropped from the team. .He is a teskmaswr whom Loses would have cheerfully hidden in the sendg- He is a judge from whom there is no apnenl. He has whipped us intoform goaded us into superhuman exertion, inoculated us,w1th,success, and ,iven us uncounted transfusions of the vitality and courage which are his. Here's to the Coach! - H , , Letters and sweaters were given out this year for the inet time in the history of Avondale. Those jetting sweaters y and letters were L urenee Allen, Frank Asbury, Wendell Terwillifer, They were bought bv the pep club irls. Three more who' I get letters and bou ht their own sweaters were Camille Tuttoilmondo Junior Buffin ton, and Joe testes. Joe Autobee and Gene Webb also received letters. U Here's to the Team, fellows, here's to the Team! They are the boys with e full head of steam! 'V Toujh are their fibres, and quick are the1r'wits, They keep on fi htinq when some would cry quits. They pay for fame, self-denial end sweat, f Fame we all shfre, as we mustn't forget. N And so, though our praises inadequate seem, Here's to the Team, fellows, here's to the Team! 1. -W I - gIl5l' Ei5 ': 5C'i A S-:Q
