Prior to this year's basketball season, a pessimistic attitude prevailed toward the future of our new squad, simply because it was a new squad, however, this attitude underwent a rapid change once the season was underway, The first team consisted of two seniors, Sam Bowker, the Captain, and George Heath, and three juniors, Ron Packard, Charlie Sears, and Mandy Smith. Amid season Mandy left school to join the service and his vacancy was filled by Brian King, a very promising sophomore. Under the vigilant eye of Coach Earl Tonet, the boys began the season with a victory over Clarke School, 44-33. In the next contest the team didn't click and the St. Michael's five beat us 41-27. This seemed to be just what the doctor ordered because the boys then went on through the rest of the season to win seventeen straight games without a loss. On March second came the true test for the boys. They met Barre, Massachusetts, in the small school Tri -State Tournament at Turners Falls. Because of its splendid record, Burgy was put into an upper bracket so The Drag- ons opponent was a fast moving team. It was a thrilling see-saw game all the way with no more than six points difference in the score. The gim sounded and the final score was 49-43 in favor of Barre. Even though we didn't win, the tourney was a great asset to the school because the boys played so well and thereby won some recognition. Further recognition was earned when Ron Packard finished the season with three hundred points and also received honorable mention in the All Western Massachusetts Basketball Team. These achievements made a successful season for Burgy High. 43
