Senior Glass Jii story In 19 +7, a green bunch of freshies jtumbled into the halls of BHS, to begin a four year adventure at BHS. The first adventure took us to the hands of the luring Sophomores The upper classmen gleefully watched from the side lines as we again and again made unsuccessful attempts to push peanuts around the gym floor, using our noses as bunpers. As October rolled around and everyone was well acquainted, we elected our class officers as follows: President, Wayne Coon; Vice President, Dale Rogers; Secretary, Joyce Smith; and Treasurer, Norma Watters. Events which will be long remembered are thewein-er roast held at Jubilee Park in November and the skating party held at Ewalt's Recreation Hall, Ice cream and cookies were served for refreshmavts to everyone at the unforgettoble all--School Christmas Party. Everyone enjoyed the program and Dick Reinhart made an especially good Santa Clause, During the year we lost two students, Charolette Challacombe and James Mossback. After a long vacation this same group returned to BHS as Silly Sophomores. The fall of ' W8 also brought Sara Bleichner from Elmwood, and Eleanor Wagner from The Academy of Our Lady to join this reluctant group. Mr. Kenneth Bushman and Mr. Eugene Hamman were appointed as our class advisors. With their assistance we selected Larry Alien, President; Norma Watters, Vice-President; Bill Cramer, Secretary; And Gerry Tosh, Treasurer, During the year we succeeded in having another skating party at Ewalts Recreation Hall, at which a large number attended. We also lost two classmates during this time. Bill Cramer moved to Peoria, and Larry Allen went to Chillicothe to seek his fortune. In September of 19l+9 seventeen Jolly Juniors slipped in the doors of BHS, We received two new advisors. New to us, as well as the school. They were Mr. Bride and Miss Stewart, With their able assistance and supervision we selected our class officers as follows: Gerry Tosh, President; Don Greenfield, Vice- President; Dick Reinhart, Treasurer, and Bill Birdsell Secretary, Early in the fall we ordered our class rings. Everyone was glad of this because we would receive them the coming November,  September flew by and looking into October we began making plans for our Junior Class Play. With the help of Miss Stigall we chose a humorous one entitled The Crazy Mix Up . To the cast as well as the class this proved to be the biggest event put on. We were sure the audience liked it because a record crowd was here and we collected over $200, As the new year rolled around so did thoughts about the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The theme for the decorating was Hawaiian Paradise. This was carried out to fullest extent. Roses, evergreens, flowers, as well as palm plants from the florist made the gym floor more like Paradise than ever before. The delicious menu consisted of orange cocktail, swiss steak, mashed potatoes, string beans, pineapple salad, with jello and cake for dessert. A piano solo and songs by Mr. Bushman were a few of the attractions on the program, Mr, Neil Harrison and his orchestra from Canton furnished the music for dancing after the banquet. The occasion is past, but the memories will linger on forever. As the school year closes we add this up to an unforgettable year at BHS and hope the ones coming near will bring more cherished memories. The fall of 1950, welcomed eighteen Dignified Seniors to BHS, We eagerly got started in electing our class officers as follows: Don Greenfield, Pres- ident; Dave Sheets, Vice-President; Betty Maher, Treasurer; and Gerry Tosh, Secretary. We were glad to see that Mr. Bride and Miss Stewart were back as our class advisors. Only a few weeks went by when we were excited about ordering our invitations for graduation. The Josten salesman showed us various types to pick from and the one we chose was liked by everyone. After this we decided to produce a yearbook and things soon got underway for setting it up. Our class was all together until the end of the second month when we lost one of the finest students, Joyce Smith. This decreased our class to seventeen. The middle of November we decided to have our Senior pictures taken by Paul Studio. This was done and later when the proofs were returned some were very good while others as usual brought comments. About this time Cupid again crime around with his arrow and we noticed Betty Maher wearing a diamond. January and the New Year brought many events. The class elected candidates for the DAR good citizenship award and the faculty chose Rosemary Maher. The class started thinking about their class play and plans were placed in motion for a Chieftain benefit variety show. Soon May was here and school was coming to a close. Graduation was just around the corner and everyono was receiving congratulations and gifts, but none of us will forget the sad goodbyes. Then came that exciting day on which we received our diplomas. After that moment we were no longer members of BHS. We were now alumni. We were ready to seek our fortunes and opportunities in all parts of the world. Graduation is both a time of joy and regret, for in bringing the fulfilment of a dream, it also brings to a close four years of good times, hard work, and.' really cherished memories of BHS.

THL CLASS OF 1951 In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our names and affixed our seal this twenty-ninth day of May, in the ' e r of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-One Class Prophecy My, My, I do wonder where he could be. Here it is the year 2010, and he still hasn’t arrived. If you remember Dick Reinhart, you will probably realize that while on earth he was constantly late. The class of '5L with the exception of Dick, has assembled here for nany years. Some day, I believe that Dick is just going to be a little late. It's really been a long time ago, but here in heaven a long time seems like only yesterday, and I certainly remembered what hapDened to Dick while on earth, I guess he wasn’t ton late one time, because he became the most famous basket-ball star ever to reach Madison Square Garden. He scored the points for Kerwin University, located in the great metropolis of Kickapoo, While at Kerwin, he made a great name for himself, as well as for the school. One day when Dick visited the sports director of Radio Station WKIC, Kickapoo, who do you suppose he saw? None other than Greenfield, It seems Don was always interested in basketball, and to get away from the toil of his busi- ness, he snent much of his time at the broadcasting station, Don's real occupation was acting as boss of a growing firm, the Greenfield Formal Dress Company. This business was known throughout the United States because one of his models became Miss America cf 1955 As you probably guessed this lovely girl was none other than Rosemary Maher, Rosie attained great fame as a model and won her title as Miss America only fbur years after leaving Brimfield High School. Dale Rogers could be seen once in awhile at Greenfield’s Manufacturing Co,, because Dale became a buyer of merchandise for a concern in New York City. He lost his bachelor’s degree soon after leaving the Navy and sought this job as his occupation in order to support his family. Remember Don Turner? Well, he stayed loyal to Brimfield and made it his home town. To show his appreciation toward the younger kids in Brimfield and to bis own children, he bought Ewalt's Recreation Hall. He remodeled it, built on an addition, and made it into a lovely dance hall, skating rink, and bowling alley. Darrell Ebbing established fame when he became the head of an Atomic Bomb Research Laboratory in California. He started as a young scientist inventing such things as plastic typing paper. After this came his big chance. He discovered more about the Atomic Bomb and because of this knowledge, he became president of the new Atomic Research Lab in Calif. As I recall, it was about two years after I entered these golden gates that I met Jack Powers. During our deep conversation, I learned that Jack became a fabulous night club owner in Palm Beach, Florida. Before this he tried running a few hamburger stands, but he was not successful. He called this new club The Black Shadow Inn. It was modern, complete with delicious dinners, and had floor shows for entertainment. Jack mentioned something about a Gerry Lee. This reminded me of Gerry Tosh so I asked Jack if he knew what became of Gerry. This is when I got my surprise, Why don t you know said Jack, Gerry Lee is Gerry Tosh. She changed her name a bit and bleached her hair blonde and she soon became the leading lady in the show. She said that since her husband made the army his career, she decided to get a job. She began in the chorus line as a review girl and later became the leading lady. Further on in my conversation with Jack, he told me that he offered Wayne Coon a job as manager of the club. Since they were school pals, Jack thought Wayne would like this. However, Wayne refused the offer and instead of being a manager, he became the proprietor of a medium size movie theater. This made Wayne very theatrical minded. His wife, Barbara, already owned a theatre and after building one of his own. Wayne got the idea of having at least one in every state. I was sorry to hear that this plan was never completed, I I was just overwhelmed with joy when I happened to pass by the entrance and saw Verna Bayslngar I had seen Verna only once while on earth. She became a school teacher. She went to college and received her masters degree in Bookkeeping. She was very successful as a teacher, and taught prize winning bookkeeping students. Being a teacher might be the basis for her happy life. Verna met a young Math teacher while teaching at Elmwood High, and like most teachers, they fell deeply in love and lived a very happy life together. Immediately after leaving Verna, I started looking around to see if I could find anyone else of my acquaintance. From a distance I saw a beautiful girl with long golden hair almost to the middle of her back. I wondered who it could be. As she turned around I had to look twice before I could believe my eyes. Yes, it was Sara Bleichner. I immediately went to meet her and after coming closer, it seems she was even more lovely than I had remembered her. She told me all about her exciting life. It seems that Sara moved to Hollywood and became a hair stylist for the movie actors and actresses. She told me it was just too thrilling for words to be among the most talked about people. The most surprising thing I learned from her was, that among the most interesting people she knew was Dave Bryan. I was simply thrilled, because he was the most romantic actor in Hollywood. After I had told her that Dave was my favorite actor, she informed me that Dave Bryan's former name was Dave Sheets. The same Dave that I had attended Brimfield High with. This was shocking, but I realized that with Dave's a-bility as an actor in high school it wouldn't take him too long to be cone a star. In many cases time does change people. Take for instance Don 1 'helan. We all knew Don as a clever and bright student, but certainly we didn't expect him to become a writer. After completing his most successful book intitlcd The Trouble With People Is he decided that what this world needed was more charity. With this idea in mind, he donated his time and efforts by compiling a Whelan Dictionary and giving one free to everyone who asked. He considered this real charity because be realized he couldn't sell the dictionary's anyway. There was another member of our class who moved away to seek his fortunes elsewhere. This as you will probably remember v as Bill Birdsell. He departed from our class just a few months before graduation. We could see that Bill really had a head on his big broad shoulders, and when he found out that his head fitted a footbal.i helmet, he became the greatest star of football. People still talk about his most spectacular play when Army, his home team, played against Navy. Bill ran eight yards in the last few seconds of play to score a touchdown and defeat Navy. No one discovered the hidden talents of Eleanor Wagner while ’n high school., but hardly a year after leaving she started singing with a band in Chicago. Her greatest ambition was to be an Opera Singer. Working hard and slowly climbing, she reached the height of her success. She was magnificient. Writters and directors were constantly begging her to take the leading role in their operas. One evening after one of her performances I was battling through the crowd when I happen to see Senator Gerald Schmitt. I immediately went over to see him and find out how he was getting along in Politics. He told me it was quite an interesting life. Gerald wasn’t nearly as shy as he used to be, and by now he was well acquainted with giving speeches. Also he said, I’m thinking of running for President next year. Tell me Betty, he continued, what brings you here tonight? This wasn’t a hard explanation for me to give. I had always been interested in music and when I wasn’t busy playing at a Concert or on television I liked to see an opera. You certainly are famous for playing the piano commented Jerry. It really is a great thrill for me I replied, and I never dreamed the name Betty Maher would ever be put in lights surrounding the music world. Oh dear, I've taken up so much time remenecing through the past. It simply has been great fun renew ing the life of my fellow classmates, and to,isn’t it simply marvelous the way the class of 1951 has progressed through the years while on earth? Now that all our troubles have vanished and we have all met here in heaven it will be a happy reunion. Maybe Dick vail show up soon and, oh, here he comes now. Hey Dick, come this way, through the gate, just follow me. I am certainly glad to see you Dick and now that you are here this makes oqr group complete. After years of ceaseless toil, once again, the class of ’51 comes home.

C unior Glass History On August 30, 19 8, twenty-eight of the freshest landlubbers walked up the gang plank to join the crew on the good ship BHS. We were pretty green at first but finally got used to the ropes. We decided we should have some leaders on this, our first voyage, so we chose Commander John Best; Lt. Commander Bob Short First Mate, Nancy Knight and Second Mate, Marilyn dicker We decided we needed more guidance, so in the crow's nest,we put Miss Lee and Mr. Bond, At mid-year we gave a party for all mates before going ashore for our two-week Christmas leave. A good time was had by all. During the year a few members joined the ship's band, went out for athletics, joined the chorus and enlisted in FFA and FHA. When May came we were glad to get back on terra firma and we were proud we had survived the first voyage. On August 29, 19 9 we again boarded BHS but this year we found only 27 hands on deck. We were used to our routine and got busy on plans for initiating the new members. The second week we elected officers. Again we have Captain John Best, Lt, Commander Bob Short, First Mate, Nancy Knight and Second Mate, Donna Adams, a new recruit. Up in the Crow's nest were Miss Pitney and Mr. Cox. This year passed with little consequence. Again some of our members joined the ship organizations. When May came we celebrated with a class picnic at Lake Storey. On September 5 1950 the gang plank was lowered and 26 seamen scampered up to the top deck. This was our big year so we elected very capable leaders; Commander John Best, Lt. Commander Dick Schmitt; First Mate Marilyn Tucker; and Second Mate Mickey Antonacci. Up in the crow:s nest we again found Miss Pitney and Mr. Cox. November found us the happiest crew aboard ship. We put on the play The Mad Hatters and come close to setting a record for ticket sales. The play went over big with the public. Also, in November we got our insignias (class-rings) and were we proudJ In March plans started taking shape for our banquet which was held May 3 The faculty selected Eileen Notzke to go to Girls State as a representative of our ship. Marilyn Tucker was chosen alternate. As we start for shore we realize that the signal All Ashore That's Going Ashore in September means the beginning of our last, and certainly our most exciting year on the Good Ship BHS. AS WE GO TO PRESS: On Hay 3, the Junior class sponsored a delightful banquet for the Seniors. The theme Hitch Your Wagon to a Star was used. The Banquet hall was decorated with blue and white streamers and carnations. The menu consisted of: Little Dipper Zodiac Special Comets (tomato iuice) (baked ham) (beets) Northern Lights (lima beans) Snowballs Pull Moon Salad (potatoes) (jello salad) Moon and Sunbeam (hot rolls butter) Big Dipper (coffee) Milky Vay and Star Dust (French Cream Pie) After this delicious meal, everyone settled back to enjoy the program. The program was as follows: Toastmistress............Big Planet (Nancy Knight) Wishing Scais..........Little Dipper (John Best) Holiday in Stardom . .Big Dipper (Don Greenfield) Sta s Are the Windows of Heaven............Starlets (Marilyn T., Nancy K., Miclrie A.)

Sophomore Gloss Jiistory Probably the happiest time in the lives of eighteen timid freshmen was in September, 19 9 when they began their career at Brimfield Unit School. We were not altogether unfamiliar with high school customs, as we had spent our eighth grade year in this building. After spending a few weeks getting acquainted with the faculty, we held our first class meeting. After a spirited election, we selected Margie Smith as President, Gary Best as Vice-President, Lincoln Phillips as Treasurer, and Dave Joos as Secretary. We proceeded with a feeling of confidence after having elected these competent officers. Chosen to lead and guide us through our first year were Mr. Hammon and Mr. Kimble. Soon after electing officers we were invited to come to an initiation party, in our Honor . Dressed in all sorts of weird costumes, we were put through a routine which must have been hilarious considering the crowd's reactions. The class had unusual talent in school activities. All the girls were in FHA, and also in Girls Chorus. Many of the boys were in FFA and athletics, and there were both boys and girls who participated in band. In March, the class was host to an all-school party, in a beautiful decorated gym. The entire class participated in a hilarous program, and in the future, v hen we are reminiscing about our school life, we will always remember the Soldiers and the Old Maids. The evening was finished with dancing and refreshments. The day after school closed, the class went on a picnic at Glen Oak Park. Everyone had fun playing baseball, eating, and swimming. That evening we all enjoyed watching a movie, Tn September of 1950, we again entered Hrimfield Unit school with much more confidence. At our first meeting we again elected officers. Lincoln Phillips was chosen to lead us as President. Ralph Kingdon was elected Afce- President; Dave Joon, Treasurer; and Fred Dungan, Secretary. Mr. Hammnn, and Mr. Lauderdale were our capable advisers for the year. This year it was our turn to initiate the Freshrrn, It v as quite a job considering there were 33 Freshmen and only 18 Sophomores. We formally initiated them at a very successful all school party. As Sophomores, v e were again active in extracurricular activities. Gary Eest participated in the Agriculture Speech Contest with an original essay on Erosion and represented the class on the Chieftain Staff. Many Sophomores were active in athletics and the class was especially well represented in Sports. We now look forward with anticipation to a greater year coming 1 Irishman Class History The fifth of September, 1950 dav ned bright and early, opening a new ife for the members of the Freshmen Class. Vie had always loo.ked forward to our first day of high school, and now it had arrived. As we entered the halls of BHS we began to feel rather uncertain and our nerves began to perform violently, Some of us were well acquainted' with our class mates while others were not. Me had quite a time, but some of the older students, who probably remembered their first day were kind enough to help us around. Me got acquainted with our teachers, and when it came time for our first class meeting we learned that Miss Stigall and Mr. Dittus were there readv and willing to help us. To lead our class through thick and thin, we elected Jerry Adams as President, Dale McBeth to assist him, as Vice President, Norma Lee Powers to record the minutes, and Leroy Burks as Treasurer. Me adopted the Carnation as our Class flower. The Class motto, Don't try dying, but die trying , is one we believe will always stick with us. Soon after school got weli under way, we were properly put in our place bv attending the Freshmen Initiation Party. It was September twenty seventh when we came to school with smiling faces and returned home rather grim. We entered school dressed in silly looking clothes and entertained the Sophomores in the most ridiculous manner. By our teachers' faithful aid, ve hope to be the Senior Class of 19 +. Watch us most vorthy parents and friends, for we, the Green Freshmen of '51, will be Successful Seniors of ,51+.

VITIfS CAMERETTE STAFF It has been the custom in the past, for the senior class to edit The Camerette. The Staff members fbjr 1950-51 were as follows: Eleanor Wagner, Editor; Rosemary Maher, Assistant Editor; Dale Rogers and Don Greenfield Sports Editors; Wayne Coon and Sara Bleichner, Production Editors. As soon as the Senior Class started working on the yearbook, The Camerette was turned over to the Junior typing class. Their Staff consisted of: Eileen Notkze, Editor; Marilyn Phillips,Asst, Editor; Marilyn Tucker, Art Editor; Nancy Knight and Delmar Hassel-backer, Feature Editors; Dale Rogers and Jerry Doran, Sports Editors. CHIEFTAIN STAFF Early in the fall the Seniors began thinking of the possibility of having a yearbook. We decided to select a new title, and after many suggestions the title Chieftain was chosen. As soon as the problem was settled, the faculty selected the staff. They were as follows: Editor and Business Manager, Rosemary Maher; Photographer Editor, Gerry Tosh; Production Editors, Wayne Coon and Sara Bleichner. Sports Editor, Don Greenfield. The yearbook staff and class wish to express their appreciation for the cooperation that they received from their Commercial teacher, Miss Goldie Pitney, while working on the Chieftain . departmental Activities Brimfield High School offers to students an opportunity in its varied curriculum that they cannot well afford to miss in their early training for life's problems. In addition to the required academic courses,, the students are given an opportunity of finding a field to which they are best adapted and in which they are most interested by taking training in one or more of the vocational departments, as business training, agriculture, or home-making. ENGLISH English, as you know, is the most important subject in school. V ithout a knowledge of the mechanical skills of English it is almost impossible to study other subjects. The ability to read with understanding, to reason intelligently, and to reach a clear and correct conclusion is necessary in any business, trade, or occupation in life. The study of English prepares us for correct living. In our English department, we study functional grammer and literature, which consists of prose and pretry. Under the directions of Miss Stigall, we leam to appreciate reading and grammar, and to place value on the several skills and arts an author must possess in order to write. The years, spent under Miss Stigall, have been very pleasant and profitable ones. As we grow older and look back on our school years we will be glad that we were required to take English and thank Miss Stigall for what she did teach us, HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics department is one of our most in-portant departments. We must educate our girls in order that they will be able to do the part which is expected of them in the future. The education of girls for future homemakers is one of the most important undertakings. Cooking,sewing, personality adjustments and home beautifying are essentials in modern life. It is known that Brimfield High School girls will become good homemakers in the future. In the F. H. A. and other activities the girls learn how to get along with one another and their neighbors. Under the able supervision of Miss Eleanor Stewart, the girls of B.H.S. should be rerembered as efficient homemakers. MUSIC Our band and vocal department is under the cap- U’le directi .n of Mr. Lauderdale. We have a girls' chorus and a boys chorus and v e also have a very nice band. The band has made a great number of ublic appearances this year. BOYS PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education is provided in order for the students to develop healthy bodies as well as healthy minds. Activities carried on under Coach Dittus include basketball, baseball, volley ball, track and softball. Every student who is physically able, is required to take physical education. The students who care a great deal for sports, may ulay on our regular school teams. Coach Hamrftn teaches the Junior High, GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The girls are offered physical education so that the boys can not get ahead, of them. The girls enjoy very much the sports which are taught by Miss Stigall, They participate in basketball, baseball, volley ball, and also have a few exercises. The junior high students are under the supervision of Mrs. German, There is no end to the activity and enthusiasm in the girls' education classes. MATHEMATICS Mr, Hamman is our Math teacher and can make Al- gebra, and Geometry very clear to any student who is interested in it. Who knows, maybe some of our students will become great engineers someday. SOCIAL SCIENCE We study the past so that we may try to understand the great problems which are facing us today. We must learn what mistakes were made in the past, and try to prevent them in the future. We must try to make our country better. We must try to create a better world for ourselves and future generations. The social science department is under the direction of Mr. Loren Dittus. The three classes are divided into Civics, American and World History. Mr, Allen teaches Social Problems. All of these subjects are valuable in every day life. SCIENCE Science is one of the most important studies which is taught today, must all have sore kind of science in order to understand what is taking place in the world today. Through these subjects we may learn a way in which to develop something new, and sake ourselves a fortune. The science department includes General Science, Biology, Junior High Science, and Chemistry. These are taught by Mr. Donald Bride. During our laboratory periods we experiment, make tests' cut up animals, and the Chemistry class always manages to produce an offensive odor. Perhaps in this collection of students we will someday be able to say that a great scientist graduate-ed from Brimfield High School. COM ERCIAL There is never an idle moment in Miss Pitney s busy Commercial Department, The students are learning modern methods of office work. Miss Pitney teaches Bookkeeping, Commercial, Typing, and Shorthand. Our young people are laying a solid foundation for the business world. With the competition getting keener for jobs, our commercial students will be fitted to accept any kind of office position. AGRICULTURE Agriculture is the oldest and most important occupation of man. Food has won more wars than bullets. Our agricultural department under the able supervision of Mr. Charles Cox, has been of value not onlyto our school boys, but to the entire community. The evening programs have been very successful and well attended. Our Future Farmers of America have carried on many worthwhile projects and have given good account of themselves in competition with others. J H We the members of the Future Homemakers of America, are proud of the officers whom we elected in May of 1950. They have helped new members to understand the ture meaning of our Chapter. Those elected were: President, Michaelin Antonacci; Vice President, Margie Smith; Secretary, Nancy Knight; Treasurer,Rose-Mary Maher; Reporter, Barbara Bradley; Historian,Rosemary Maher; Parlimentarian, Donna Clark; Delegate to House of Delegates, Michaelin Antonacci; Program Chairman, Marilyn Phillips; Recreation Chairman, Carol Whittaker; Public Relation Chairman, Barbara Arbogast; Degree Chairman, Jeannie Clark. JIrs. Michael Antonacci was chosen our Chapter mother to succeed Mrs. Cliford Cady. Many of the Freshman and Sophomores have completed work on their Junior degree and are looking forward to receiving their Chapter degree next year. We are proud to say that we have two girls who are working on their State Homemaker Degree. They are Michaelin Antonacci and Nancy Knight. V e wish all of our luck to them. In May of the same year the question of who was going to camp up. Nominations were made and vot- ed on. Michaelin Antonacci was elected delegate and Marilyn Phillips alternate. With the help of our Chapter Mother and advisor we sponsored two ake Sales, each of which brought in a large amount of money. At Christmas we held installation and invited the mothers for a tea with each mother bringing a gift for the grab bag. The girls had drawn names earlier. The mothers enjoyed this veiy much. It furthered the interest of FHA to our mothers. In May we held our Style Show. We announced it in the local paper that every mother who wished could attend. We published a Cook Book for another money raising project. This project became a very successful one and our treasure increased about $200. We have enjoyed this year and are looking forward to more and larger projects for next year Vocational education FHA Fourth Row: L to R: Iris Blackwell, Harriett Clark, Lorene Courtright, Mary Emerick, Lois Meyers, Mary Ann Maher, Pat Johnson, Beverly Slocum, Betty Emerick, Helen Turner, Shirley Tucker.

Bob Short was the shortest man on our team. He was a good guard and will be back next year to play again. Hampton Smith was the only freshman on the varsity team this year. He will b® one of B. II.S.most valuable players in the coming three years with his driving ability and his long shots. Ralph Kingdon is a sophomore and will also prove valuable in the next two years here. He is very good on his dirve shot and good on freethrows. Fred Dungan is the tall man of the coming year and will be working on the pivot and jumping center.
