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.

CLINTON RUSSELL, Guard Clinton, another senior on the team, played as a reserve last sea- son, but was a regular on the team this year until he had to withdraw from basketball. He was a good de- fensive player and scored 1?'points. DOMINIC PETRUCCI, Guard Dominic, also a senior and a reg- ular from last year, didn't see much action until late in the season. At that time he took over the guard position left vacant by Clinton Rus- sell. He played good ball, both of- fensively and defensively and had a score of 17 points. JAMES LOUGH, Forward James, a senior who has seen considerable action as a reserve, always played good ball when he was needed most. He has scored 26 points this season. Page forty-eight JACK TALKINGTON, Guard Jack, a sophomore, has also seen considerable action as a reserve and is a reliable man who plays his posi- tion well. Much more is expected of him next year. His scoring for this year was 14 points. BOB BUTCHER, Center Bob, a senior, who has served his first year for the team as a reserve, played very well whenever he was needed and scored 21 points for this season. CHARLES REXRODE, Forward Charles, a sophomore, has not seen much action this year but he is expected to before long. He is snappy and is a good passer. Much more is expected for him in the near future along the basketball line.
