Again this year the Civic Club entertained the high school squad together with Mr. Butler's grade boys. It was really a fine occasion. The M. E. ladies served the food but this year we had local after-dinner speakers. Some of the speeches were really rare as you can well imagine. Coach Vaux awarded letters to eight players and small basketball watch charms to the first 'fiven which had engraved H1942 basketball championsn on them. The really crowning part of a swell season came March 19, 20, 21 when ten of us and Coach Vaux spent the three days in Champaign witnessing the state tournament. The athletic department really out-did itself on this trip to show us a good.sime. I will never forget that trip. You are right about our team not having quite the speed of the 1940-41 team. This year's team had more scor- ing punch and more defensive ability though. You can see by the enclosed records that we often ran up around fifty points on the opponents while holding them down quite well part of the time.
