cedent defenceman, and to John Peart, our diminuitive Captain, for his aggressiveness and desire. On the whole, I think that we learned a few things, and that we enjoyed ourselves, and in the long run, this is what counts. I am quite aware that you all tried your best and I could ask for nothing more. To those of you who will be promoted to higher ranks in the future, you will be missed; to those who will return for another season with the Boise (Idaho) Blades ' , there is always next year; to one and all, a most sincere thank you for all the hard work you gave, in prac- tice and in games, and for a multitude of pleasant memories (I ' ll try to forget the others). One thing is certain, you had Class. One final note: many thanks on everyone ' s behalf to Frank Merrill, who was surely the best horse trainer ever to don the blades and manage a hockey team!

The First Basketball Team FRONT ROW: Waterfield. To II, Pendharker, Jennings II. Gall I. BACK ROW: Mr. Larsen, Cheney, McMurchy, Rosseel II, Hawthorne. Mr. Martin, Hodge I. As the 1974-75 season got under way, little hope was held for the First Basketball Team. Micheil Jennings, Para To and Milind Pendharker were the only veterans, and no new boys could be found to fill the vacancies. Af- ter the first game in which we were defeated 90-36 by defen- ding champion U.C.C., the forecast for the team seemed to have held true. However, we sub- sequently decided to disprove the predictions of disclaimers. With the addition of Nick Water- field after Christmas, we became a completely different squad. He filled the gap that we had and proved to be a tower of strength, being both an excellent reboun- der and play-maker. After our first post-Christmas game, when we defeated Ridley 62-48, we jelled as a team. Because we had no outstanding individual players we had to play as a unit, and we became a ' team ' in the truest sense of the word. Para To, at the guard position, played very well and as Vice- Captain, he provided the ex- perience and leadership that a young group like ours needed. Mike Jennings, in his last year at Appleby, played the best basket- ball of his career. He improved considerably over last year, and with his excellent defense and clutch shooting, he fit in very well. A lot must be said for Matt Gall ' s play this year. Coming from the Second team and in-experienced at the First team level, Matt star- ted at centre. His success was obvious as he scored 200 points. He improved greatly over the season and was quick to learn. Much of his success must be at- tributed to our coach, Mr. Martin, who helped Matt a great deal. Mike Rosseel, a guard, never stopped running, and he was the sparkplug of the team. His ex- cellent dribbling and ball- handling helped us out of many 50
