Wesley Parrott CCaptainJ Wes A real man that is hard to beat at any time. He plays a game that none has ever played before at guard. He is a man that is absolutely for good athletics. He 'has played a hard game all the way through. It is hard to tell how many times he has stopped his man from getting his goal, but he plays the game, he stops the ball, he gets the goals and does it all by using his head. This is Wes's last year. Maurice Smith Smitty An all around good athlete, and a good man. He plays a basketball game that anyone can be proud of, and he plays it on the square. He plays the game, and plays to win. He knows S. E. H. S. is backing him. This is Smitty's last year. Allan Kennedy Brown Brown is a handy man to have on the floor. He plays a shifty posi- tion, and is handy at goal shooting. When Brown gets the ball it is pretty sure to drop in the goal. He plays a good game all the Way through although defeat is facing him. Francis McCarty Pat Pat is one of the main men on the squad. He plays a forward position and plays it well. He was a regular shark at breaking up his opponents' plays, and always handled the ball in great shape. Pat played an all man team and never failed to play when it was needed. This is also Pat's last year. Marvin Nelson CNot Picturedj Marv Marvin is known as the main stay in the team. His ability at goal shooting and breaking up passes made his record one of the best yet. Marv was a constant hold-back for his opponents, he was forever after the ball, and could shoot accurately at any position. Marv has one more year. CGO to it, Marv.J Francis Wray Tubby Francis, although a new man on the squad, came out and proved to the High School what he was made of. Although Francis did not play many of the games, he showed his ability in practices and scrimmage games. He has another year to play. Edward Reardon ' Eddy Eddy started the season in great shape. He came out at the be- ginning of the season and stuck to it to the end. Eddy did not play in all the games but showed his Irish in those he did participate in. He is an all around good athlete and has one year more to play. Floyd Weed Weed Weed held down his position in fine shape and made a very able player. He proved to be a hard man to guard and showed real class in hitting the hoop. This is also Weed's last year in athletics.

Hazel Burke '24 fCaptainJ Dimples Dimples proved to be an A No. 1 captain. With a team of fine girls willing to help her she had the best results known for years. Her spirit toward basketball throughout her high school days has been greatly appreciated. Much of our success is due to her interest in and hard work for the team. We all regret this being her last year. Lois Shaffer '24 Lic Lic proved herself to be the backbone of the team by 'her hard work through the past season. Her work as center was a little strenuous at times but Lic isn't a quitter. What will we do without Lois next Ayear? Zoda N elson'25 Swede Zoda is a team-maker and always has a word of encouragement when it is needed. She stands all the knocks although she is small, and those who are leaving are glad she is to remain to better the next year's team. Hop to it, 'Swedef , Beulah Smith '25 CNot picturedp ', Bee Bee is our goal-shooting shark, always breaking the tie and the pass from her opponents. Just one more year and the finishing touches will make her a note-worthy player. Marcella Regan '25 Celly-Mar Celly-Mar is an old standby--always on the job from start to finish. When she plays team work with Swede and Lic they are sure to get the ball to the St. Ed goal. Della Nelson '26 Smokey When Smokey's name is mentioned thoughts of the peppiest girl is brought to mind at once. She has been a faithful teamster, not playing for herself, but for the honor of team and school as well. She will show her ability in her following two years of basketball work. Amy Weed '24 Stucie Stucie is the comic of the team. She always has a smile and a word of cheer. When she gets t'he ball it seems to fly to the forwards. Her spirit of co-operation with the team has certainly been appreciated. Mabel Decker '25 Decker Decker is a handy person, always ready to do her part and always loyal to her team. She still has another year to make good in athletics. We're back of you, Decker. Prospects are very bright for another good team next year, although four of our best players are leaving. But we expect to have one of the fastest teams yet in the history of the High School.
