Leeson came to Bradford High School. Since that time, except for the period from 1943 to 1945, during which time he was in the armed forces, he has served as a class sponsor, com- mercial instructor. and adviser of extra-curricular ac- tivities. This year he has very earnestly served as the yearbook adviser, a job entirely new to him. but one which he has capably done. An ardent sports fan. Mr. Leeson always seems to fit in with the student body. Baseball appears to be his favorite sport, as might be guessed by his intense interest in the annual World Series. It is with deep respect and appreciation that we. the Class of 1952, dedicate this, the Twenty - first Volume of the Bradonian to Mr. Leeson. -L '-Q ADMINI ST RATICN Ll 9 ex E D 0 Duc F A T I 0 N F A C U L T Y U RUE i?9?1 ,v-.g,...,.+'fvf ,- ., , 5.

I ,.b 3-to 'C' 'lv THE BRADONIAN WILL AND TESTAMEN T We, the most brilliant class of 1952, having passed the trials and tribulations put upon us, do hereby leave the following articles to the heirs of our class: Sam Longman leaves his love for a certain Wyoming person to Dean Russell. 1 To Marcia Real, Nancy Wood leaves her Lottie of peroxide. Sidney Wright leaves his muscular and mas- sive frame to Phoebe Enos. Marilyn Enos leaves her ability to squeeze an A out of Mr. Leeson to anyone needing it. Anita Ryan leaves the too large majo- ictte hat to Diane Travis. To the girl who latches on to his brother, Bettie .lane leaves the tact it took. To.Bi1l Real, Jim Gorman leaves his drags and his ability to talk to teachers. The boisterous laughter of Joyce Gerard iemains with Grace Ha Ha Schindler. Ross Herrmann leaves his charm QD with the girls to Bobcat Mills. Dude Plotner wills his knack for writing thrill-packed hunting escapades to Duke Castell. To shorten David Raschke's height, we leave Tom Colgan's cute legs. ATTENTION SOME AMBITIOUS CHAR- ACTER: Irene Harmon is leaving the joy and excitement ot being senior class president. iHaJ. Dean Brady leaves his romantic interests to his brother, Herbert. To the well-disciplined students of BHS, Margaret Crook leaves her ability to disrupt classes by her loud yelling. Marilyn Dietz leaves all the griping about her height to Shirley Taylor. To her shorthand teacher, Miss Mayer, Au- drey Ely leaves her wart. Any future cheerleader wanting plenty of pep and vitality may inherit it from Phyllis Peterson. Jim Law leaves his membership in the Nico- tine Club to Earl Trobaugh. CBy the wav, this year the Club celebrated its 10th Anni- versaryg at least we think it originated in 19423. Edie Robinson receives Cheryl Puffer's thrill of counting the days until you know what. Ruth Robinson leaves her good-natured personality to Dorothy Chasteen. Patsie Taylor leaves her ability and humor used in directing the girls' chorus to Chere Swearingen. To Marilyn Longman, Barbara Sharkey leaves her artistic talent in homemaking. Mary Ehnle leaves the luck of pushing around her guards in basketball without get- ting caught to Mary Lou Sherrill. Tony Votava leaves his way with the Kewanee girls to Dave and Mike Camey. Janet Jones leaves her ability to go steady three years to some girl who wants a man. Roberta McDougal leaves her quiet re- served manner to Jeanne Schindler. Lavonne Dunlap leaves her cheerful friend- liness to Joyce Spencer. Janet Poff leaves her determination to Jack Driscoll. To next year's seniors, we leave Miss Van- zantls reprimands for lost pop cases and not working at the games. SOPHOMORES - We leave you all the trouble our class didn't get into Qwhich wasn't muchb and the luck to come out of it with the same number in the class. Ahhhhh, the Freshmen -- To you we leave the excitement of initiating the green ones when you're seniors and the fun of pushing them around like we did you. We leave the peaceful, well-disciplined per- sonalities of our class to cheer up the faculty in future years when the students are getting them down. Also, since our class was a tidy, well-mannered group, we leave no gum, notes, or any other debris to clutter up the neatness of our beloved school. We wish to thank our sponsors of all four years for helping us to achieve our goal. Your willingness to help us was always accepted without thinking about it and now we would like to tell you that we have appreciated it very much.

THE BRADONIAN F. F. A. From 50 members, the following were selected as officers for the 51-52 school year: president, Sid Wright, vice-president, Bob Ewing, secretary, Ray- mond Dietzg treasurer, Robert Plotnerg reporter, Jack Winneg sentinels, Don Eble and Bill Real, and the adviser, Mr. Waters. In August the F.F.A. got together and attended the State Fair in Springfield. There was plenty of fun, along with the educational part of it. After the fair, it was time to return to school for another full year of F.F.A. work. First architecture was studied, as scale-model hog houses were built. After that, farm law was studied to enable the members to be better farmers. During the year, manure spreaders and plows were put together for the lo- cal implement dealers. Along with helping the dealers, this project helped the boys understand the making and working of machinery a little more fully. The annual Father and Son Banquet, which turned out to be a big success, was held in February. The F.H.A. girls get a vote of thanks for preparing and serv- ing the meal. The after-dinner speech given by Mr. Herm was enjoyed by all present. During the year our members received a first and ninth in the beef judging contest Won by Francis Barry and Ronnie Wall, respectively. In grain judging, the team won fifthg poultry judging, sixthq parliamentary practices, second, and in public speaking, Bernard Castell talked his way into second place. The pest-killing contest was won by Bill Colgan. This year has been full of work and fun, ending with every F.F.A. member looking forward to a better year next year.

Everyone heard this question going around school at the beginning of the year- Who would like to go on a four-mile hike? At first it sounded like quite a task, but when the girls heard that it was required for membership in the G.A.A., their momentary objections were quickly forgotten. The hike terminated with all the girls resting on the school lawn. With the aid of the moon, we held an election of officers. The following were elected: president, Chere Swearingeng vice-president, Marilyn Enos, secretary, Marcia Realg treasurer, Anita Ryang reporter, Pat Taylor, recorder Diane Travis. While we were electing officers, a few girls, who still had some energy left, started a bon- fire and treated the others to wieners, marshmallows, and pop. It was decided that each month the G.A.A. would offer the girls a chance to participate in some athletic activity. The purpose of these activities was to give the girls an opportunity to earn points toward getting G.A.A. awards. The G.A.A. teaches good sportsmanship, co-operation, and provides an outlet for excess energy. Belonging to this organization has brought a closer feeling among the girls of Bradford High. It has given the girls a chance to know that athletics are not re- served for boys, but can be enjoyed by girls as well. The girls would personally like to thank our new P. E. teacher, Miss Perino, for the wonderful interest she has shown in each one of us, and we only hope she will continue her teaching career here. Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-two THE BRADONIAN G. A. A.

Ni7ll'fl'l'?l Hundred and Fifty-two 4 6 bgi' ' me THE BRADONIAN Fo -AJ They give the room that certain touch? This is one of the many comments heard about the new draperies in the Home Ec. Room. The money for the material was donated by the F.H.A., and the Home Ec. girls made them in class. The F.H.A. opened the year under the leadership of Edith Robinson, presi- dentg Jeanne Schindler, vice-presidentg Chere Swearingen, secretaryg Vera Ditch, treasurer, Ruth Robinson, parliamentariang and Cheryl Puffer, reporter. One of the main projects of the F.H.A. this year was their hot lunch pro- gram. The lunches were very tasty and greatly appreciated by the regular car- riersf' The visitors who ate lunch in the band room Senior Career Day were very lucky indeed, for the F. H. A. served one of the delicious meals that is becoming their specialty. This meal, as Well as the successful meals previously and subse- quently served, proved that although the F.H.A. involves a lot of work, it is also fun. Another project was the sending of money overseas at Christmas instead of gifts as has been the custom in the past. This year, instead of the annual Christ- mas tea, the F.H.A. made Christmas cookies and popcorn balls for the Christmas party here at school. On January 10 an initiation was held in the Home tEc. Room. Although the initiation was formal, games were played and refreshments served. The girls present were convinced a formal initiation can be fun with a little planning. Ice, snow, and slippery roads postponed the skating party planned for Janu- ary, but the F.H.A. and the F.F.A. would not be denied their fun. They finally got together on March 13, for their joint party at Kewanee. The annual F.H.A. and G.A.A. banquet was held in May. The Home Ec. girls modeled the clothes they made during the year. Earlier in the year the freshmen girls modeled their aprons for the P. T. A. Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-two , e,.'l'lll:' BRADONIAN F. H. A.

'ny-'v , mi if' rs in ,-:J VISQO i - K 'A - 5, THE BRADONIAN NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY This group is more commonly known as the Whiz Kids or the brains of B.H.S. To be eligible for membership an average of B-plus must be maintained for the entire time spent in Bradford High School. Usually those qualified are initiated at the end of the first semester of their sophomore year. Each year we hold a formal banquet, usu- ally by candlelight, with our adviser and offi- cers in charge. An annual custom is the burn- ing of plastic straws which somehow got start- ed three years ago. This really doesn't have any connection with the initiation, but adds to the enjoyment of it. All the girls totter around on high heels and the boys look about ready to choke in their suits and ties. But this is part of the activities you must go through to be called a National Honor member. In addition to the fun of it, you also get a proud feeling when asked if you're an honor student, and you can answer Yes. Really, more stu- dents should try it! TI-IESPIANS f'Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore Art Thou? This quotation from Shakespeare was the very appropriate theme of the Thespian's home- coming booth, their first activity of the year. Last spring after the junior play, ten new members were initiated. Nine returned to school this fall, forming the nucleus of this year's Thespian Troupe. In November, signs on the doors of class- rooms had everyone's curiosity aroused. After watching the doors for several days, inquisitive students found that it had all been a means of advertising for the senior play. The Thespian members were the brains behind this ad- vertising scheme. In addition, they herded Dave Chapman's puddle jumper around town, displaying posters which the more artistic members of the Troupe had made. To make known the dramatic ability of our group, five members, plus Bob Hickey and Bernard Castell, presented a one-act play as the entertainment at the initiation of the twen- ty-one new members gained by the senior play. Later the performance was repeated at the Christmas program. With twenty-one new members to suggest, to criticize, and to help decorate, our annual Valentine Dance was bound to be a success. Credit and thanks must be given, too, to the dance band who made their debut that night as a regular dance band. To next year's members initiated after the junior play, we say, Act well your partg therein the honor lies. CONSERVATION CLUB Last September something new was added to Bradford High Shcool. It was officially named the Bradford High School Conservation Club. The Club was organized so that the boys who are interested in hunting, fishing, and conservation can meet once a month and try to learn a little more about the great out- doors. 'At the same time they are also intro- duced to some of the valuable lessons of sportsmanship and conservation that every sportsman should know. At our first meeting, Bernard Castell, was elected presidentg Earl Trobaugh, vice-presidentg Bob Hickey, secre- tary, and Bob Plotner, treasurer. We have a membership of twenty four including Mr. Waters and Mr. Jones, our adviser. During the year we sponsored some good outdoor films and held a banquet on April 1. Some. of our intended future projects are the building of a rifle range, a trapshoot, and the holding of some casting contests.

Ninctccn Hundred and Fifty-two THE BRADONIAN BRADONIAQN Hurry up and get those articles in!,' That was one of the most-heard state- ments around the bookkeeping room as Mr Leeson urged, pleaded, cajoled, and threatened people into Working on the yearbook. Although some of the articles were late, we finally got them assembled, and along with the pictures, division pages, and cover, you now have in your hands what was once quite a problem. A few people will recall the headache of pasting the senior and lower class individual pictures, then having to take them all off, cut them again, and re-arrange them. Because no one wanted to take the responsibility for spoiling the pictures the second time, volunteers were few and far between. Sam Longman, Bill Thomp- son, and Bob Plotner finally decided that they didn't care if someone did get mad at them and undertook the job. They are the ones that are responsible for the fine arrangement of those picture pages. All of this bother and worry has been hard on a few people, but it has devel- oped into what the staff and Mr. Leeson hope will be, a yearbook that everyone will enjoy all their lives as they look through it and recall some of the things they did way back in 1951-'52. A BRADCASTER Our baby Bradcaster has really grown up during its second year of publica- tion. As usual the students have been clamoring for something in the paper besides straight news and Miss Mayer and the staff have worked hard to give it to them. This year, in addition to straight news, we've added such items as characteristic songs, what do boys admire in girls, and vice-versa, what would you grab in case of fire, and of course, the usual issues in which seniors' pet peeves, favorite songs, and future careers are featured. Also, after every school dance there is a column telling who was there and giving all the details of the dance. Even though our art editor, Diane Travis, left us for the months of January, February, and March, she still sent us the front-page cover for our paper. While she was gone, the other art work was done very capably by Cheryl Puffer. The other members of the staff are editor, Janet Jonesg co-editors, Cheryl Puffer and Marilyn Tucker, art editor, Diane Travis, sports editor, Jim Hopkinsg business managers, Audrey Ely and Mary Ehnleg production manager, Mary Ehnleg production staff, Edith Robinson, Marilyn Dietz, Joyce Spencer, Irene Harmon, Ruth Robinson, Phyllis Peterson, Bettie Morris.

As a result of these tests, the students were placed in either the Girls' Chorus, Boys' Chorus, or Mixed Chorus according to their ability. A number of these stu dents also joined the others by playing in the band. These groups spent the first part of the year practicing for our Christmas Concert. The choruses came into the gym in a beautiful candlelight procession. Th . 1 . . . e girs gave a fine performance and made a pretty showing in their formals Most of the songs were sung by the Mixed Chorus or the combined grou s, but P the girls sang a special number which was directed by Patsie Taylor. The boys also sang a special number directed by Jim Gorman. The band played at all the home football and basketball games and attend- ed the Blackhawk Festival at Galva. They also went to the District Contest which was held at Chillicothe. The Girls' Chorus and Mixed Chorus attended the District Contest at Chilli- cothe, and the Blackhawk Choral Festival which was held in Princeville. The last big event of the year was the Spring Concert. All groups partici- pated in this concert. The past year has been very beneficial to every person who has participated in any musical organization. At the beginning of the year we didn't like the idea of learning all the musical terms and markings. But we can see now, all of it has helped to make our music organizations better, so we're glad we finally learned them.

Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-two THE BRADQNIAN SOLOISTS AND ENSEMBLES In an effort to provide more opportunities for more students and to avoid overworking a few others, Mr. Ferdelman selected a number of individuals and groups for participation in the District Contest this year. In preparation for the contest they appeared at numerous community functions during the year as well as at school functions. The soloists were featured at the Christmas Concert and the Spring Concert. The Boys' Octet provided the music for the Athletic Ban- quet and surprised all present with their barbershop harmony. The Girls' Trio sang at the St. Patrick's dinner and dance. The valuable experience gained during the school year showed up in the results of the District Contest held at Chillicothe. Patsie Taylor was awarded a first division rating for her rendition of The Lord's Prayer and qualified for her second successive trip to the State Contest. The school attained additional honors as several of the soloists and en- sembles received second ratings. The awards were won by Elzine Brashears, Janet Jones, and Lewis Kilpatrick as vocal soloistsg Elzine as a piano soloistg and the Boys' Octet, the Girls' Octet, and the Girls' Trio. Third place awards went to Marilyn Enos for her piano solo and Eleanor Kitchen for her vocal solo. As a result of this fine showing there were many who were flashing the Illinois High School Association medal around school for a week or two. Several new faces were seen in ensembles this year as a result of Mr. Ferdel- man's patient work. It is hoped that there will be even greater participation in future years.

HISTORY Toward the close of each school day, a school visitor would find all the sen- iors Working their way toward the southwest corner of the building. Although it is late in the day, he would still find them eager to absorb more knowledge. History gives them a broad scope of past events and points out the causes and effects of problems in an advancing society. By studying these problems, they relate and compare them to current day situations. Every Friday session is devoted to a round-table discussion which brings forth individual opinions and prejudices. To better understand the decisions of our forefathers, the history students often made charts and maps. Most of the seniors fought every battle of the Civil War. Another task they accomplished, against most of their wishes, was the memo- rizing of the famous Declaration of Independence. While the students were studying history, they were making history. As an example, one of their classmates, Tom Colgan, was fortunate enough to have one of his prize horses win first place in a race. Being American people, they had to be compensated for it in the form of a party. Since this was the only class where all the seniors were together, naturally they had their little gossip sessions. Of course, there were also times when they really got down to work. A MATHEMATICS In the northwest room on the second floor are taught Latin, geometry, al- gebra, practical mathematics and advanced algebra. As you enter the room, you can immediately see that the room is far from being unattractive. The bulletin boards which extend half way around the room are covered with posters made by the geometry and Latin classes. The white geometric figures mounted on black, green shamrocks and red valentines on white, or Easter bunnies give the room a seasonal appearance. At Christmas the tree at the back of the room is decorated with geometric figures cut out of old Christmas cards. On the windows familiar holiday scenes are hand-painted. The Latin II class helps decorate the room by making posters showing the relationship of Latin to English. They make Christmas, Easter and valentine cards on which they write Verses in Latin. At the end of the year each student assembles his posters and makes them into a very attractive scrapbook. Everyone agrees that these outside assignments help to make the subject very interesting. At the end of the year everyone is glad that the year's work is over, yet all agree that they know much more than when they started, due to the persistent efforts of their teacher, Miss Vanzant.

A good example is the chemistry student who comes to class Without studying and sees Mr. Jones start passing out test papers. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we see, and very often smell, experiments which are dem- onstrated. On the remaining three days of the week, Mr. Jones, our patient instructor, tries to explain the happenings of the previous lab day and sometimes gives us a few tips on fishing. Every once in a while he will give us one of his famous tests. The chemistry class of '51-'52 is now made up of eight seniors and seven juniors. Dur- ing the year we lost Joe Mitchell and Don Schmidt but added two new students, Roberta McDougal and Paul Mowbray. Chemistry is an interesting subject, but at times it can get confusing. When we were learning to balance formulas, it seemed pecu- liar to add four and five and get two. You also learn that two deadly poisons, sodium and chlorine, together form common table salt. Although it may be confusing at times, chemistry is a lot easier to understand than many other subjects in school. This is because in the lab, one can see what he studies about and can prove to himself that it's true. You don't have to take someone else's word for it. Chemistry's a lot of fun and there's always something cooking. LIBRARY Our library is a very small room, but small- ness means nothing in this place. Despite its parvitude it is one of the most useful and at- tractive rooms here since it is very compact. Miss Vanzant, chief librarian, and her helpers keep the bulletin boards attractively arrayed with interesting bits of the news. Besides the many new books we have ac- quired, the library also subscribes to such periodicals as the Saturday Evening Post, Na- tional Geographic, Colliers, Life, American, Reader's Digest, and Popular Mechanics. We also take the Chicago Sunday Tribune, the Kewanee Star-Courier, and the Chicago Daily News. There is a Reader's Guide in the li- brary that enables the students to find any article in any of the magazines. Each student librarian keeps the library for one period a day. Her job is by no means small. She must see that all the books are correctly placed on the shelves and that they are checked out and in as they should be. Anytime someone finds his books that were carelessly left on top of his desk missing, he knows where to find them. The library charges one cent this year to get those books back and one cent a day for overdue books. With this money, supplies are purchased.

Nimztvvn Hundred and Fifty-two THE BRADONIAN COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Where's the dictionary? Get ready to write. Is this letter due today? May we use our erasers? There's something wrong with this typewriter. Who has my little red book? The mimeograph is out of ink? Any of the above comments might be heard coming through the doors of the commercial de- partment almost any hour of any school day. The commercial department.intro- duces the students to some of the basic things that might be expected of them if they are to enter business upon graduation and to the many things that might prove help- ful to them regardless of what their future plans might be. Amid the apparent confusion that exists much of the time, the beginning typing students are learning how to manipulate the machine that is rapidly making the art of handwriting obsolete. Among the types of work done by the beginning classes Cafter basic skills are learnedj is the typing of themes, outlines, invitations, programs, personal letters, and business letters. Those few hardy souls that find a friendly feeling in their hearts toward typing after one year oftentimes return for a second year. During this second exposure which some find interesting, prob- lems in tabulation, invoices, statements, telegrams, miscellaneous business forms, and the various styles of business letters are typed. Next door to the typing room, in the room with a View Cthe parking lot and the softball diamondb we might find a shorthand class in session, the office prac- tice class doing any number of things that should prepare them to be better busi- ness employees, or the bookkeeping class trying to arrange systematically the con- fusion that is the Dean Practice Set. One of the highlights of the past year in the commercial department was the securing of a transcribing machine through the school rental plan of the Dicta- phone Company. Ability to use this machine, plus the skills of shorthand Writing and transcribing, bookkeeping, the efficient use of the typewriter, mimeograph, and ditto machines will give the graduates of this school some of the many tools neces- sary for success in the business world. A INDUSTRIAL ARTS The offerings of the Industrial Arts Department during the past year at- tracted forty boys willing to make the long jaunt out to the shop. The Shop I class time Was divided into nine week periods, with emphasis placed on woodworking, mechanical drawing, metal work, and electricity. The boys in Shop II concentrated on mechanical drawing for one semester and wood- working for one semester. Welding and sheet metal work composed the first semester offerings for the Shop III class, and specialized woodworking the second semester. Some of the boys in this class entered their projects in a contest sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. As yet no results have been received, but those who entered are con- fidently waiting. ,Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-two THE BRADONIAN COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Standing: Miss Mayer, Margaret Crook, Mr. Leeson, Phyllis Peterson.

Nincftaifn Hundred and Fifty-two THE BRADONIAN OFFICE ASSISTANTS Each hour of the day there is a student in the office who voluntarily helps Mr. Jones and the office secretary. These pupils answer the telephone, deliver messages to both students and teachers, and collect absence slips. They also greet the salesmen as they enter the office if Mr. Jones is in class or busy at the time. This way the salesmen know how long they must wait for Mr. Jones. This is not only helpful to the principal and his secretary, but also helps to give the girls Cand boy! the poise, good manners and courtesy needed in every- day living. A DANCE BAND The Dance Band was newly organized this year out of the regular band and has been the perfect answer to, What can we have besides records at the dance? The band has eleven members and features Mary Sue Hackwith as soloist. Their big event of the year was playing for the Thespian Sweetheart Dance. They had their own part of the gym decorated to represent Cupid's Corner. Two other engagements during the year were, a Fashion Show held at the school on March 2, and the Jamboree, a leap year dance on March 8. Everyone that has heard the band certainly agrees that they sure beat records anytime.

E iifk 13' THE BRADONIAN VARSITY FOOTBALL With only three lettermen Lack, Bradford's young and inexperienced foot- ball team got off on the right foot this year by trouncing Mid-County 20-0. The Panthers returned to their home field to whip Princeville 19-0. It looked as if the team was starting to roll, but when they invaded Wethersfield, they took their worst beating of the year, 24-0, at the hands of the Geese. Coming back from this beating, the boys beat Galva, 27-7. This proved to be a warm-up for their best ball game of the year in which they were, however, beaten 6-0. Walnut scored the only touchdown of the game in the last few minutes while five of the Bradford regulars were out of the game. The Panthers just couldn't get up for the Elmwood game and lost 15-12 after a desperate fourth quarter comeback. Next the team Went to Wyoming for the traditional battle and with hopes of up- setting the Indians' homecoming. The result of the hard-fought, rain-drenched game was 19-19 deadlock. The boys returned home for their homecoming game with another traditional rival, Toulon. The homecoming was a success, and the season ended on a victorious note-Bradford 13, Toulon 0. The season was topped off by all three of our senior football players secur- ing berths on the All-Conference Football team. Jim Gorman and Bob Dude Plotner made the first team and Sid Wright made the second team. A JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Although they lost most of last year's team through promotion to the var- sity, this year's freshman-sophomore team went through their second consecutive undefeated season. However, this year, they were scored upon once. This ac- complishment was made by a very tough Walnut team. Aroused at having their scoreless string broken, the Cubs came back and literally trounced Walnut by a score of 25 to 7. Often the boys that play on a junior varsity team fail to receive the recogni- tion they justly deserve. The coaches and varsity squad members know their value to a squad. The day-after-day beatings absorbed in practice at the hands of the varsity are small rewards, but the courage and the desire to play football dis- played by these boys, reflect great credit on them, their parents, their team and their school.

Axf' fx. if THE BRADONIAN VARSITY BASKETBALL Like our football team, the basketball team this year was very young and inexperienced. With only one returning letterman, the boys had to start at the beginning and work hard under the capable guidance of Coach Sherman. Final standings show a twelve won, twelve lost record. The Panthers lost only one game on the home court, and that was a 12-point decision at the hands of Galva, the eventual conference champions. On the road, however, it was a different story. The team just cou1dn't seem to get rolling on foreign courts, eleven of their twelve defeats coming away from home. In tournament competition they lost two games by a total of three points. At Galva they were defeated by Toulon by one point, and in the Stark County Tournament they lost by two points to Wyoming, the tournament winners. In the Princeville Regional Tournament the Panthers were defeated in the semi- finals by Mineral. Over regular season play, Galva was the only team to hold the distinction of beating the Panthers twice. Every other defeat was avenged. Prospects for next year seem bright as only Captain Jim Gorman will be missing when the first call for candidates is issued. 5 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Having lost all of last year's team to the varsity, the 1951-52 Junior Varsity was very inexperienced. Though the records say that they lost fifteen while win- ning only six, the followers of the boys know that they really played much better ball than the records'indicate. But for a missed free throw, a missed lay up, a bad pass, a traveling violation Call evidence of inexperienceb some of those heart- breaking losses could easily have been recorded as victories. As the season pro- gressed the experience began to pay off, and the boys were beginning to know what to do with the ball and when to do it.
