BASKETBALL The Ryanmen had a fair season this year but they met tough oppo- sition all along, winning nine, losing nine. Of the first five players this year, only one will be back for next year. The others will be lost due to graduation. In the first game of the county tournament they were elim- inated by East Fairmont. We, the Seniors of 43 extend our best wishes to the teams in the years to come and hope that Farm- ington High will sponsor many championship teams in the near fu- ture. ANTHONY ARCURE, Forward Anthony will be leaving us this year after being a regular on the team for the past two years. He plays exceptionally good iioor games and is a good passer. He has set up many shots for the other players. His scoring for this year is 134 points. Page forty-six MIKE SOKOLOSKY, Forward Mike will also leave this year, after playing a regular position for two years. He is a good shot and a very fast ball-handler. His scoring for this year is 169 points. HARRY GENE ALASKY, Center Harry, the only junior on the team, has been a regular for two years. Due to an injury he didn't see much action last season but coming back this year with his high reach and shooting ability from be- low the basket, he is the high-point man of the team this year. His scor- ing is 218 points. JOSEPH TATAR, Guard Joe will also leave the team this year after playing as a regular on the team for two years. With his defensive playing he has held down the county's top scorer. With his shooting ability from mid-court, he has kept the Farmers in many games. His scoring for this season is 119 points.

BOB HAWKIN BERRY, Fullback Bob, a scrapping little player, who will be lost this year due to gradua- tion, played his first year as a regu- lar on the squad. He put on a splen- did performance in every game. JACK COTREL, Halfback Jack, a Senior, although not a regular on the team, saw lots of action this year and received his letter. DONALD HALEY, Quarterback Don, a Senior, was a reserve back and saw some action this year and also received his letter. WENDELL LOUGH, Halfback Wendell, also a reserve back, saw a little action and received his let- ter. ROBERT PYLES, Fullback Bob, also a reserve back saw some action and received his letter this year. . EARNEST BAKER, Guard Earney, a Junior, played a regu- lar guard on the varsity squad and much more is expected of him next year. His best game of the year was against Fairview. At that time he intercepted a pass and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. RAYMOND ORR, Tackle Ray, who will be a loss to the team via graduation, played his first year as a regular. He played his po- sition exceptionally well and will be hard to replace. His best game this season was against West Fairmont. JOHN GUSS, End Johnny, a promising young Soph- omore, has played end' regularly for years. He played good oiensive and defensive ball all along. His best game of the year was against Moundsville. Much more is expect- ed of him during the next two years. Page fm ty fwe
