THUNDERBIRD JAYVEES ENJUY RECURD SEASUN RESERVE BASKETBALL - Row H. Holcomb, B. Reagan, I. Makela, P. O'Neill, R. Schatz, C. Davies. Row 2: Coach Theno, L. Trutman, B. Rytkonen, D. Dudley, L. .Tornqu1st, D. Hendrickson, A. Metzker. Coach Milt Theno's junior varsity squad, a combination of last year's city champion sophomore team plus a few return- ing junior varsity players from last year, won a total of six games the past season, a record number for a T-Bird reserve squad. It appeared the reserves would field a good squad from the very start of the season. As Coach Moseid cut his var- sity down to size, he found it difficult picking the last few positions. Because of this keen competition for these remaining positions, those sent down to Mr. Theno's squad showed above average talent on the court. The high point of the season was the final game. Against a strong Wilson squad, our T-Bird cagers completely dominated the game. Coach Moseid will certainly take a good look at these cagers for next year's varsity squad. One-Hundred-Five

RIFLES COMBINE MARKSMANSHIP AND EUURTESY 4,4 9122 'fri wsiehv' xx if 35 . g , ' it J .Q-eff RIFLE TEAM - Row 1: I. Deveraux, E. Ornlond. Row 2: R. Hernandez, T. Stewart, D. Mulholland. Row 3: R. Fish, R. Font, l- WOffhiHQlOU. Coach Orlando. L This year's rifle team, once again coached by Mr. Robert Orlando, captured fifth place in the Evergreen High School Rifle eague. Their commendable finish Was due in part to the team's hard Work and extra efforts. One other important factor was the easy accessibility of ten good rifles. These rifles were purchased only last year and helped greatly this season. The team's practices Were a little difficult to get to because -they were held at the Point Defiance rifle range. One of the purposes of the rifle team, besides attaining good marksmanship, is to learn the rules of proper rifle conduct. This facet of learning to shoot Was one of many good points Mr. Orlando taught his fine group of marksmen. One-Hundred-Four

Thompson, R. Tollefson, T. Ray, L. Scott. The reserve rnatmen, under the guidance ot varsity coach Gene Kronlund, didn't have their success measured in victories, h b h d an earnest desire to improve and land a varsity spot, and above all, but Where it really counts: sportsmanship. Eac oy a ' ' 'h l. E thou h the victory column was shy ot a number, all a responsibility to themselves in order to aptly represent their sc oo ven g t ' e ot the stiftest competition in the state among reserve squads.
