FRANK SECCURO Forward-Center Second year on team Frank, commonly known as Dummy, when he is in the game fights from whistle to whistle. Although Dummy does not score very many points. he is always right in the play. Dummy played his best game in the tournament against East Side in the finals, holding Prim. at this time East Side forward, down to perfection. Dummy starred in the State meet and was placed on the second All-State team. DOMINICK AGRIPPE Forward Third year on team 'Grippe was a regular forward. He was an accurate shot under the basket, and had much abil- ity to drop balls through from farther back on the floor. He played three years with F. H. S. and has proved himself a very valuable man. We all are sorry Agrippe will not be back with us next year, but we are sure he will make good in what- every field he enters. FRANK HOLDREN Forward First year on team White Top Holdren played regular on the second team and should make a great bid to fill the shoes of Agrippe, our regular left forward. next year. Holdren started his Iirst high school game against Huntington, and succeeded in caging a field goal, but he was a little small against the big boys from Huntington and was replaced by Agrippc.

LEE SATTERFIELD Forward Third year on team A'Baby Lee was our heavy scorer. He led in scoring from the field. and was deadly accurate from the foul line. Lee was high-point man in the Sectional Tournament. He amassed 69 points alone. He landed an All-State position on the first team. Lee is coming back next year, and will aid greatly in putting Fairmont on the map in basket- ball. Too much cannot be said for him. ALPHEUS HAYMOND Guard Second year on team Alf, if I am not mistaken, played consistent ball during the 1926-27 season. At any time in the game you could hear Alpheus yell, Fight 'em! and he didn't mean maybe. It was the lighting spirit of Haymond that kept us going in many games. Everybody that saw Haymond play in the d State Tournament knows that he was as goo a uard as was in the tournament. although he was Z not placed on the first or second team. JOE FOLIO Guard First year on team Big Joe hails from Grafton, and we are very fortunate in having such a guard as Joe. He was a great help in winning the Sectional Tournament. and with Haymond, Frank Ice had a good pair of guards. Joe was chosen on the All-State team this year, and voted the most valuable player in the IOUIIIZIITICIII. Page I

ond team for Biz Dawson. GATHA HOFFMAN Center First year on team Gatha is the lanky center on the second team. Long improved as the season progressed, and was playing bang-up basketball at the end of the season. Hoffman is only a Freshman, and much is expected of him in the future. JAMES ALTMAN Guard First year on team Happy is another second-string guard, but he was not fortunate enough to get in a Hrst team's game, although he played head-up ball on the sec- Altmari, being a Sophomore, has a wonderful chance to make good next year. He is a good man EUGENE WRIGHT Guard Second year on team Gene played good basketball all through the season. He i'dings them right and left when they come into his territory. He got in most of the games, and always let the opponents know he was there. He will finish next year. Page 112
