CHEER LEADERS Merlin Stucky Isabel Schug Thomas Sprunger FIGHT, TEAM, FIGHT! The Bears opened the ’41-’42 season very optimistically, journeyed to Hartford Township for the opening game, and got the scare of their lives—only winning the game by two points on a shot from the field in the closing seconds of play. This settled them down and they were off on a five-game winning streak which was snapped by Decatur. Except for a brief mid-season letdown, the Bears continued their winning ways down to the final game of the season when Decatur again nosed them cut 35-32. High lights of the season— I— Victories over Bluffton and Emerson of Gary by a total of three points. II— Overcoming a sixteen-point handicap with eleven minutes of the game remaining against Monroe in the Sectional. III— A 4th quarter burst of nineteen points to down Winchester 48-39. The Bears finished the season with 14 games won and 8 lost. This record was made against schools of a much larger enrollment than Berne. L. L. GLENDENING, Coach—Better known as “Lakie.” Only his second year with us, but what a year! He certainly deserves all the praise we can give him. Through him, our boys have developed teamwork; and have learned the true purpose of athletics—to play the game for all there is in it. He has shown skill in fundamentals and handling of players. His teams have had excellent records in all sports. HOWARD BAUMGARTNER. Captain-One of our two four-year men, a steady dependable guard. A particularly gocd “feeder” due to his ability to handle the ball well and think quickly. “Bummy” was elected captain of the team by the boys— a popular player. He was a hard worker and played the game for all it is worth—to win, fairly and squarely.—L. L. G. EARL HABEGGER—“Hobby,” the other half of our two four-year men. A lover of the fast break style play. With the best when it comes to rebounding. A tough boy on the basketball court because he can not only score with the highest but can be as- signed to the opponent’s high scorer and hold him scoreless. A real forward in every sense of the word.—L. L. G. JAMES GOODIN—“Jim,” a senior, playing his first year on the varsity. Came up from the Cubs as a dependable guard. Hasn’t disappointed anyone. Has shown as much improvement as any man on the squad. Good on set shots and can come through at the opportune time. Worth his “salt” to any coach.—L. L. G. BILL EMICK—“Doc.” to the boys. First year on the varsity. Particularly strong on rebound work under Berne’s basket. A good pivot man. Can feed as well as score from that position. 11 is long reach has been verv embarrassing to many opponents. —L. L. G. RAYMOND MAZELIN—“Maz” has lacked experience, but when it comes to “scrap” he's there. Although he didn’t get to see as much action as some of the others, his spirit helped the boys win many games.— L. L. G. Twenty-four
