She is known by her quietude, her rather sar- castic wit, and her continuous blush. Her chief dislikes include all men lexcept, of course, Howard Thompsonl , a great deal of noise, and being teased all the time. Pepper is a swell sport about being teased, however. 'Pepper has been a very conscientious worker, and everyone will remember her themes for College Prep English which had the entire class in hysterlcs. Her quality of being un-boister- ous is a trait more of us wish we had. DEE Al KEN Take a contagious laugh, a habit of asking many questions, and an uncontrollable lock of yellow hair in front, mix well, and you have Dee Aiken. Dee iust loves pickle sandwiches lshe can have theml, she likes to skate, and she likes people. She dislikes insincerity in people, and she hates fried' eggs. Finding a suitable career is Dee's ambition at this time. Dee's hard-working attitude, and her friendly offers to help, have been good additions to the school. And no one will ever forget the blood, sweat, and tears she put into the obtaining of the senior class rings. Vice President, Freshman Class Vice President, Sophomore Class Secretary, Junior Class Senior Ring Committee BARBARA COOK A hubba-hubba figure dressed in the New Look, a very friendly attitude, and a beautiful singing voice are the main character- istics of Barbara Cook. Barbara's likes include music, cats, people, hamburgers lwell donel, and her blue car. She doesn't like purple, vegetables, people who never believe her, and insincerity. Babs' ambition is to be a radio singer, a field in which we know she would be the very tops, A Congeniality that few people ever have, an amazing love life, a wonderful singing voice, and a studious attitude have been Barbara's main contributions to the school. Chairman of Music Committee at Christmas Party Senior Prom Committee ARDIS BRAMLEY The tall girl with the dark brown hair, the Varga-girl-figure, and a fine sense of humor is, of course, Ardis Bramley. Ardis likes to have Fridays come more often, and she just loves California. Green is her favorite color. She doesn't like Mondays, chemistry, burns, or crying babies. Ardis would very much like to be a billionaire, but if she can't be one, she'd like to be an Indian, and really whoop it up. Ardis has consistently been one 'of the school's leaders, and she has always been on hand if any assistance was needed. She has been a tireless worker, and one of Randell's best students. President, Junior Class Vice-President, Senior Class Captain of Blue Team in Senior Year President of Spanish Club Chairman, Senior Prom Committee DUNC HARDESTY Take one part of each: an easy-going man- ner, a friendly attitude, an appealing grin, a freckled face, a mop of startling red hair, and you have Dunc Hardesty. His pride and joy is his car, but he also likes Dovie Smith's fried chicken. He hates being called Duncan, and if you want to see him make a hundred-yard dash in a matter of split seconds, mention Cal- ifornia! Trigonometry and Miss Conboy's study hall rules leave him cold. His ability to make friends quickly, his abil- ity to do any job efficiently, his good qualities of leadership, and his talent for being on hand in time of need, make Dunc one of the grand- est fellas in Randell. President, Senior Class Treasurer, Sophomore Class Business Manager of the Rambler Business Manager of the Annual DON FRIEDMAN A number one sense of humor, the ability to make anyone laugh, and a straight-forward answer are the things to expect from Don. His likes include: close friendships, basketball, party time, and extracurricular activities. He doesn't like to worry about colleges, he hates girls who weaifblue leans, and he dislikes con- troversy. Being a success in college is Don's main ambition right now. His outstanding abilities of leadership, his perseverance, his ability to get the iob done, and his rather spicy wit are contributions to the school that have been practically indispensable. Head Boy Basketball, '47 and '48 Editor of the Rambler Editor of the Annual Time Current Events Test Winner, '47 and 48 ' ' law? ELAINE IACOPONELLI The dark-haired girl with the quiet attitude and the friendly disposition is Elaine lacoponelli. Although Elaine joined Randell in the middle of her senior year, her presence around the school has been very pleasant. Her cool self- composure and tireless efforts are ones to set examples by. Elaine loves horses, doesn't mind economics class, and thinks Mrs. Shaddock is her favorite teacher. She dislikes unfriendly people, people who can't spell lacoponelli lwho can?l, and she just can't stand spaghetti. Elaine's quiet attitude and very cooperative manner have been very pleasant additions to the school. MARY ELLEN HIBBERT Personality-plus, vim, vigor, vitality, and an undying adoration for Myron are the keynotes to Mary Ellen lHibbsl Hibbert's character. Her greatest loves are: dancing, meeting people, making the rounds of parties, driving in the mountains, and last, but NOT least, Myron Thompson. Her pet peeves are: streetcars, his- tory books, raw oysters, the colors red and purple, and blue Sundays. To inherit Mrs. Shaddock's sly wit is the main ambition of her life. Mary's boundless energy, her sunny disposi- tion and humor,, and her capacity for making friends have made her one of Randell's best- liked girls. Randell will miss Mary's pep and her crazy ways. Head Girl Secretary, Sophomore Class Senior Dance Committee Treasurer of French Club FX all ' fffifl fl K' -'r51?g3,, , - K faifimv. HELEN KI NSTAD Some beautiful golden locks, a cute figure, and a fine personality are the distinguishing characteristics of Helen Kinstad. Helen's likes include sirloin steak with french fried potatoes and onions, dancing, swimming, surf-boarding, and people. She dislikes school, and she can't stand people who talk behind your back. Hel- en's ambitions are to quit smoking and to learn to ski. Helen's ability to make friends quickly has made her the pal of everyone in school, and all of us will remember some of her subtle puns in chemistry class. Treasurer, Junior Class, First Semester Secretary, Junior Class, Second Semester CLAYTON JOHNSON The boy with the contagious laugh, the beautiful physique, and the congenial manner is none other than Clay Johnson. Clay likes Nancy, sleep, food, girls, Miss Couzens, and french fries. He doesn't like ties, dances, birds, or asparagus lno, not even the nice soft endsl . Clay has three main ambitions in life: to be an engineer, to keep as far away from women as possible, and to prevent some girl from making him marry her. Clay's very friendly manner has made him one of the best liked boys in school, and no one will ever forget his speedy basketball play- ing and those behind-his-back shots. Senior Prom Committee Basketball, '48 Vice President of Spanish Club Sports Editor of the Rambler MARY-J EAN N E MAI N ES The flaming red-head, who makes the boys' eyes pop out of their sockets when she saunters by, is, of course, Mem-Jay Maines. She says las she calmly picks up the boys' eyes and hands them backl that she likes being called Mem-Jay. She also likes Bob Johnson, blue eyes, angora socks, and buttermilk. She doesn't like the new look, funerals, peasants, or insincerity. Her ambition is to be a jockey in the Kentucky Derby. lWhy, Mem-Jay? ls B.J. a bookie?l Her hard-working manner, her cheerful co- operation, and her motto of get there firstest with the mostest have been good contribu- tions to Randell. Secretary, Freshman Class President, Sophomore Class Feature Editor of the Rambler Feature Editor of the Annual President of the French Club WALTER LESTOQUE Walt Lestoque is the boy with the friendly Smile and the rattle-trap car, but in spite of all the jokes made about his car, he still says that it is his greatest joy in life. Walt also likes sweet potatoes with marshmallows, girls, foot- ball, trig, and to get out seventh hour. He doesn't like dirty cars, the new look, college board tests, and motorcycle policemen. After graduating from college, he says that he would very much like to own a used car lot with a garage next door. Randell will really miss Walt's mechanical ability, his crazy but wonderful car, and his friendly jokes. Senior Prom Committee . , . .LL, VL VL 3 MARY MORTON The girl with the beautiful reddish-blond hair and the cute little giggle is, of course, Mary Morton. Mary loves apples, raw carrots, fried chicken, Dwayne, records, to dance, and to swim. She doesn't like snooty people, study hall, term papers, fights, cheese, and mush- roms. Mary's ambition is to get married, have twenty-four children, and be a car-hop at the Ace Drive Inn. lShe intends to be a busy little girl.l Mary's friendliness, her habit of saying Well, quit! , her unusual giggle, and her sense of humor have been invaluable contri- butions to the pleasant atmosphere of the school. Secretary, Freshman Class Treasurer, Sophomore Class LOUISE MANN The contagious hysterical laughter heard in study hall belongs to Louise Mann. Louise's funny-bone is constantly being tickled, to the delight of anyone within one mile hearing dis- tance. Louise likes Mrs. Zimmerman, math- ematics, music, and the boy whose l.D. bracelet she wears lFredl. She strongly dislikes mo- nopolies lin and out of schooll, eggs, birds, and writing themes. Her main ambition is to be a mathematician and marry an atomic physi- cist. Besides contributing her laughter to the school, she is a tireless worker, and a student of which Randell can be proud. Honor Roll , if K is ,,, , ii. l f Ra DWAYNE PHILLIPS A studious attitude, the quality of perse- verance in getting a iob done, and a hard- working, though at times scatter-brained man- ner are the main characteristics of Dwayne Phillips. Dwayne's main likes include Mary, Gus lhis car,l trigonometry, and Randell School.. He greatly dislikes people who try to boss things about which they know absolutely nothing. Dwayne's ambition is to be a dentist lno doubt because he can delight in making people sufferl. Dwayne will best be remembered for his scholastic ability, and for the great amount of time and energy he spent on the publishing of the Rambler and the Annual. Honor Roll Chairman, Hallowe'en 'Party Committee Associate Editor of the Rambler Associate Editor of the Annual Program Chairman of Spanish Club GLORIA NELSON The red-haired girl with the amazing ath- letic ability is Gloria Nelson. Gloria likes to swim, to dance, to listen to the radio, to read books, and to stay up late at night. She hates to have to walk those six blocks in cold weather to the bus line, she dislikes back-seat drivers, and she isn't particularly fond of snooty girls lor boys, for that matterl. Gloria's ambitions are to get married and to be a stewardess on United Air Lines. Gloria 'will always be remembered to us as Babe Zaharias Nelson, and the loss of her great athletic talents will be sorely felt by the girls gold team. Hallowe'en Party Committee DOVIE SMITH Take one part of each: a scatter-brained at- titude, a disposition of great loyalty to the school, a will to please, and a very funny brand of humor even though it is unconscious, mix well, and you will end up with Dovie Smith. Childish people, .lr., and keeping up with her homework are the things she shies away from. As for likes, she will take cooking, short- hand, and trying her skill on the baseball dia- mond. Dovie will always be remembered at Randell for her willingness to work, but she will best be remembered to us as Slugger Smith of the Baseball Diamond, Olympic material for l950. Captain of Gold Team, '47 and '48 Treasurer of the Latin Club Feature Editor of the Rambler CAROLYN SLACK The tall, quiet-mannered girl who is every- body's friend is Randell's Carolyn Slack. Caro- lyn says she likes Boston terriers lespecially one called Yankee who can do more tricks than a magicianl. She also likes clothes, trav- eling, Mrs. McBride, and a certain red Ford. She doesn't like homework, cold weather, and certain color combinations. Her ambitions are to raise Boston terriers, to graduate from school, and to run Slack's store. Carolyn is one of the hardest workers in school, very dependable, cooperative, and a good student. She made a fine business man- ager for the Annual. Assistant Business Manager for the Rambler Assistant Business Manager for the Annual .2+'5:m:., A 4355, l vm. ve., - ,eww FRANK WETHERILL lf you should see a dark black, moth-eaten briefcase walking around the halls of Randell, the curly-haired person behind the two-ton monster would be Frank Wetherill. Frankie likes his dictionary, Mrs. Shaddock, and to make people think he carries an atom bomb in his briefcase. He dislikes Stravinsky, and den- tists who make teeth that fall out on the floor at dances. His ambition in life is to do what his grandmother tells him to. Frank's contributions to the school are nu- merous, but he is best remembered for his bludgeoning of people who don't pay their senior class dues. Treasurer, Senior Class Assistant Business Manager of the Annual Assistant Business Manager of the Rambler .. - flfirfs 7 125, I Z VVgf,gf,':gEiZl k HOWARD THOMPSON A winning smile, a friendly attitude, and the constant repetition of the words Well, l fluffed offl! are the distinguishing features of Howard Thompson. Howie likes party time, sports, milk, and he would like to have a longer lunch period. His dislikes include getting up early, term papers, girls who ski, and he just hates to stay seventh period. Howard says that his main ambition in lite is to be a doctor. Howard's great athletic ability will be re- membered by all Randellites for years to come, especially his skill at basketball: but, above all, Howard will be remembered for making the words fluff off immortal.

Each and every one of these youngsters has shown a fine school spirit, and has done his part toward making the school a very pleasant place to go and git one's larnin'. Besides working hard at their studies, the children have numerous activities, which include the presentation of little plays, the election of class and school officers, the forma- tion of teams which participate in all sorts of sports, and a rather boisterous lunch period. Some of these activities are pictured below. Sue Severine Ray Phillips Head Girl Head Boy i He who hesitates is lost Want a ride home, Liz?

Mary Ellen Hibbert bequeaths her boys lall of themll to Spotty. Ardis Bramley wills her long legs to Don Ferguson. Dunc Hardesty bestows his trigonometry to the Randell ash pit. Miss Douds will take over Pepper Best's quietude, and Dovie Smith is handing over her school spirit to the Class of I949. Barbara Cook wills her New Look to Vogue Magazine, and Howard Thompson leaves his elbows firmly implanted in the ribs of the basketball team. Mem-Jay bestows upon Miss Conboy her flirtatious attitude, and Gil Perry wills his physique to Ross Grenard. Frankie bequeaths his collapsible pup-tent to serve as Randell Annex No. 3, and Gloria sends her athletic ability to the '49 basketball team. Carolyn Slack's slow, conscientious driving goes to Grouch, Clay Johnson leaves the lower school broom leaning against the wall, and Louise Mann gives her sarcasm to Lulu. Mike Chase falls heir to Helen Kinstad's hair, Walt Lestoque wills his mechanical knowledge to Peggy Lou, and Mary Morton's giggle goes to posterity. Elaine lacoponelli's soft, quiet voice is bequeathed to Dave Douglas, and Don Friedman bestows upon Jimmy Blynn his wild jokes. Dwayne Phillips wills Gus' baby motorcycles to Jimmy Freeman, and Dee Aiken sends her chemistry grades to Believe It or Not. ln witness whereof, we have herewith wet our hands and seals this lst day of May, l948. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1948 Attestation CCRANDY1, lH IS MARKl PROPHECY By I. WILL TELLUM Time: June 4th, l948 Place: 'Jima gloomy antechamber of the famous fortune teller, Madame U. Learn oore. Action: Mr. Tellum enters the establishment and calls, hopefully, Is anybody here? Madame Moore enters amid the jangle of ten pounds of fake costume jewelry and says, Seet down. I vill tell you ze future of anyone you vant to know about. Well, I have just been to the graduation of the Randell Class of 1948, and seeing those bright, hopeful young faces, I would like to know what all of them will be doing twenty years from now, if you please, he says. Madame sits down and looks at a clear crystal ball on the table. As I look into the clouded crystal ball, she says, losing her accent, I first see that it is the year l968. Ah! I see Don Friedman, former head boy. Tsk, tsk. He has just been fired from his job as Bob Hope's gag writer because he told one joke just a little bit too corny. Mary Hibbert is also in the radio business, I see. She uses her hysterical giggle to introduce the Inner Sanctum program. And Barbara Cook is the new star singer on the Telephone Hour, al- though she regrets having run Lily Pons out of business. I see that Dee Aiken is on sev- eral. informal discussion programs, such as Town Meeting of the Air. She keeps Dr. Howard Sawbones Thompson busy because she talks the arms off so many people. Speaking of Dr. Thompson, I also see Florence Best, still an old mail, sitting in her parlor and knitting. It seems Howard fluffed off once too often, and Flo is still working. Dunc Hardesty finally had to go to psychiatrist-philosopher Frank Wetherill because one day he went berserk and broke all the pots of the plants in his flower shop, which he de- tests. Frankie, by the way, has a cane just like his grandmother's and delights in knocking his patients senseless and then taking their money. But the crystal becomes clouded. For anudder two bucks I'd tell ya da rest, says the Madame, lapsing into a Brooklyn accent. O.K., isays Tellum. Ah, Now I see that Ardis Bramley and Helen Kinstead, the two most successful Powers Models in the U. S. in I968. This is wonderful because Helen had to over- come many difficulties until she bought a wig. She's bald, you see. Ardis had a rather unfortunate experience when Carolyn Slack, New York's top dress designer, forgot to put straps on one of her evening dresses. Ardis thought it was strapless, and when she val-'orehitione night -- welll Carolyn is now broke, since Ardis sued her for every penny s e a . I see that Clay Johnson is Denver's most eligible bachelor for '68, and he'll still try- ing to keep away from women and ties. Well, well. Mem-Jay Maines got her wish. She is l968's ace jockey in the Ken- tucky Derby, and has never been known to throw a race, even though she's been thrown by her horse, which is owned by the successful equine enthusiast, Elaine lacoponelli. Dovie Smith looks as though she might give Babe Zaharias a little competition on the baseball diamond. Learning to use her shorthand, which she learned at Randell, helped her greatly in pitching ability. Gloria Nelson is having her ups and downs as a hostess for United Air Lines, while Louise Mann, the celebrated atomic physicist, will just have her ups. Yes, she will soon blow herself up. Walt Lestoque is 'cleaning up with his amazingly successful user car business. He specializes in selling 'hot' hot rods for a cold profit. And last, I see that Dr. Dwayne Phillips delights in making people suffer as he yanks out their teeth, while Mary Morton, his pretty assistant, yells, 'WeIl, quitl' for the patients in order to help ease their agony. Ah, but I see the crystal ball clouding over again, and 1968 fades from view. So such is the fate of the Senior Class of I948, concludes the Madame. Well, thank you so much, says Mr. Tellum. And, by gum, I. Will TeIlum. Q Q Q65 QQ 42 BLUE HDD GOLD GIRLS' BLUE TEAM The Blue team, captained by Ardis Bramley, had little trouble in rolling to an impressive win over a weaker Gold team. The Blues got off to a fast start and were never headed. A clear-cut superiority in softball seemed to be the deciding factor, for volley ball was just about even and the Gold probably had a slight edge in bowling. The tremendous hitting power and constant hustling of the Blue decided the issue. Such notable sluggers as Homerun Verploeg, speedy Dee Aiken, Anabel Carey, Ardis Bramley, and Sarah Hickerson, plus the ever effi- cient pitching of Charlie Charlton proved to be more than the Gold could cope with. GI RLS' GOLD TEAM The girls' Gold team, captained by Dovie Smith, was the victim of a slow start. Fall softball set them behind and they never recovered from a Zl-6 beating in the early stages of the season. The Golds more than held their own, however, once we transferred our activities to the bowling alley. Dovie, Mary Morton, and Gloria Nelson were constantly bowling fine games and could be counted on for extra points at every outing. Lack of a first-rate pitcher plus poor fielding spelled downfall for the Golds. A 23-12 defeat in the early spring was the straw that broke the camel's back. Despite the fine all round play and inspiring leadership of Dovie, the cause was lost. BOYS' BLUE TEAM Versatile Charlie Petrasek led his Blue team to victory by the narrowest of margins. Charlie and his host of veterans jumped off to an early and commanding lead during football season, a lead which they never relin- quished. Flynn, Foster, Englehardt, Eubank, and Petrasek sparked the attack with Buck Buckingham and Pete Kirchhof the outstanding undergraduate players. Bowl- ing proved to be almost more than the Blue cause could withstand and had it not been for Petrasek's outstanding efforts, the precious lead might well have changed hands. The advent of the softball season found the Blues leading by a scant 35 points. The steady pitching of Kirchhof plus the sparkling play and hitting of Petrasek, Munoz, Cress, and Chase proved enough to stave off a deter- mined rally of the Golds. BOYS' GOLD TEAM Captain Howard Thompson and his crew managed to hand the Blue team a thorough scare, but their mag- nificent stretch drive fell a few points shorts. The Golds were no match for the more experienced Blues on the gridiron and fell rapidly behind. Clay Johnson, Walt Lestoque, Don Friedman, and Capt. Thompson were al- ways battling for top honors and continually managed to make the games close. Tom Allen and Galen McPherson were the outstanding youngsters. Great bowling by Clay Johnson and Dwayne Phillips seemed to inspire the Golds to close the gap to a mere 35 points. A determined ef- fort in softball fell short despite the outstanding play of Johnson, Friedman, O'Fallon, Henebry, and freshmen Paul Hower and Dave Douglas. Slll-MAN Pll0'l'BAlili-STYLE l89U idk Back row: Speed Merchant Thompson, Napoleon Miller, Bulldog Allen 2nd row: Crash Lestoque, Pass Demon Petrasek, Scat Johnson, High Kicker Friedman The bulk reclining in front: Husk Kirchhof Picture taken by Robert Gay 90's Hall This year Randell organized its fast-moving six-man football team. The game of six-man football is just about the fastest game ever invented, because each one of the six men on the team lone center, two ends, and three backfield menl is eligible to receive passes. De- spite lack of equipment and an adequate practice field, the boys managed to give a fine account of themselves in all encounters. Captain Charlie Petrasek and speedy Clay Scat Johnson did the bulk of the signal calling and ball handling. Both were able passers and constant threats as breakaway runners. Howie Speed Merchant Thomp- son, our passer deluxe, and rapid Grouch Kirchhof as- sisted with the leather lugging chores. Tom Bulldog Allen and Dan Rugged Englehardt were particularly outstanding as defensive backs. The line, composed of two ends and a center, was equally brilliant. Bill Flynn was a 60 minute man, al- ways playing great ball whether on the defense or of- fense. Bob Glue Fingers Eubank and Walt Crash Lestoque, a standout on defense, alternated at the left end slot, thanks to the unlimited substitution rule, Our stalwart centers were rangy Bethell Foster, who in his spare time did the long range punting, and Don Fried- man, our place-kicking specialist. Don was high scorer for the season with l8 big points to his credit. THE SCORES Opponent We They Parks . 6 0 East . . . I 2 6 Parks . 6 26 East . . . 26 30 DURAND R. MILLER Tops! Coach Miller's hard-working efforts, great patience, and fine inspiration gave the boys on the basketball team that extra something that made them come out on top. The tricky plays which he taught the team were something to behold. The entire success of the season should be credited to the excellent coaching by Qadtn DON FRIEDMAN Two records! S'8' ...... .... ..---...e.. Senior ..... ...........-.-. Guard This was Don's second year in the colors of the Randell Varsity, and our colorful guard managed to set two school records.

Most of Don's points came on his uncanny set shooting from far out in front. HOWARD THOMPSON Greatest defender! 5 l l' ........ .--.... ..... Senior ........ .. ...... Forward Howie, after three years of varsity basket- ball, is far and away the greatest defensive player in Rendell history and one of the best high school defenders ever seen.

CHARLIE O'FALLON A natural! 5'5 .... ... ........... Sophomore ............ Forward Chuck captained the Junior Varsity and in his spare time filled in magnificently with the big boys. A great ball player and passer, he undoubtedly will develop into one of Randell's greats.

A hustler from the opening whistle to the final gun, Clay was truly an inspiring leader and a great player. GENE CRESS Most promising! 6' ...................... Sophomore .............. Forward Gene was the number 2 scorer for the sea- son, compiling a total of 78 points. His one- handed flips were hard to stop, but his pret- zej shot was next to impossible. Only 15, Gene has a long and brilliant career ahead. CHARLIE PETRASEK Most improved! 6 1 .................... Veteran ................ Forward After a slow start, speedy Charlie came into his own, scoring in the double figures in the last several games. Charlie is the ball-stealing jumping-jack type of defender. He teamed with Gifford to dominate the backboard play and the scoring with most of his points com- ing on one-handed push-shots. PETE KI RCHHOIF The Leech! Junior Forward Grouch was the problem child of the group, but a good defensive player and just rough enough to keep the opponents jittery. His clutch foul shooting at Bear Creek will never be forgotten by those who attended. Counted on for front line duty next year. TOM ALLEN Hardest Worker! 5'8 ,.,.........,,.. .... So phomore ................ Guard Tom is the other part-time JV player who contributed to the success of the varsity. One of the most improved players on the squad, he never failed to hustle. His greatest forte was his rebounding ability. Tom will be counted on for heavy duty next year. JUNIOR VHRSITY BHSKGTBHLL This year, an ambitious undertaking in sports was the forma- tion of a Junior Varsity Basketball Squad. The youngsters scrimmaged with the Varsity regularly, and by the season's end were the most improved group of ball players in the school. A lack of replacements hampered the kids llittle Rams, that isl, and although they lost, 4 out of 5 games, the final game, a 16-14 victory ovet CMS, proved the boys had it and are future Varsity material. They never failed to give a fine ac- count of themselves thanks to their hard-driving captain, Chuck O'Fallon, and Tom Allen, who was the workhorse off and around the backboards. His never say die spirit always kept the boys confident. Mac Dings was often good with his hook shots from the left-hand corner. Bob Munoz proved to be a steady and capable guard, setting up plays and hustling around the defensive backboard. Paul Hower and Rich Buckingham, two eager freshmen, rounded out the squad. Bucky was especially outstanding on the defense. He was the lone scorer In that first disastrous game. Paul reported late in the season and his set shots proved valuable to the team. All in all, the kids proved themselves capable players and have served notice that they'll be battling for those Varsity positions next year. BOIULIDG High Scores Girls: D. Smith . G. Nelson . V.
