Jerry Christensen -Jerry Was the playmaker of our team, who always played steady and de- pendable ball. His shooting, pass- ing, and pressing defensive work will be greatly missed. Robert Taylor-A young 'ball player with great promise describes Bobby. His biggest as- set is his rebounding ability, plus a strong desire to play the game. Jake Schlittler-The team play of our captain will be greatly missed next season. His true sportsmanship and attitude of fair play served as an inspiration to the ball club. Duane Lederman-Duane pos- seses a great deal. of basketball ability and knows howto use this ability. His rebounding, defen- sive play, shooting, and all that goes with a great ball player will be missed next year. Allen Schlittler-Allen is one of the hardest workers on the squad who willrbe 'back next season. His team playing and defensive ability will be greatly needed.
