Besides defeating Dowagiac and St. Joe in conference play, the Buchananites defeated Vicksburg, Comstock, and Washington-Clay, Indi- ana, to end the season with 5 wins and 3 losses. i955 graduation had left but eight lettermen around whom Head Coach Billings and Line Coach Burkett had to build a new team. Of these eight, only Steve Pendley, Dodge Karpinski, and Paul Thompson were first string men on the i954 team. From the seasonfs opening game against State High, the Bucks improved steadily until they de- veloped into the smooth-operating team that de- feated St. Joe in an exciting game to clinch the second place berth in the conference.

This year the Buchanan Junior Varsity had a seven game series which was the most extensive series a Buck Junior Varsity team ever had. Al- though the Jayvees won only two games, they showed great possibilities, and improved steadily throughout the season. They succeeded in beating Niles and Dowagiac and battled St. Joe to a nothing-nothing tie. The games they lost were to Benton Harbor, Galien, New Troy, and New Carlisle. The reserves were -by no means a poor team tor they lost to only one reserve team, Beniton Harbor. C-alien, New Troy, and New Carlisle were varsity teams, so the Buchanan Reserves did exceptionally well in their own field. The boys enjoyed their season because they had a very fine coach, Henry D'Agostino. In l956, with the returning players he will have, Coach be- lieves, a winning Reserve squad can be produced. Some of the reserves of l955 will undoubtedly make good varsity material to replace the l956 graduates.

QW The Buchanan golf team had a very fine sea- son during the spring of '55. lt won seven games while losing only five, for the best season in sev- eral years. At the Conference held in Niles, the team placed fourth, and they placed eighth at the Regional held in Battle Creek. All but two of the members of the golf team were seasoned veterans. These veterans, starting play in their freshman year, have shown steady improvement up to this time. Ciolf, not being like other high school sports, is a constant individual fight to win membership on the first team. The contest for first man posi- tion was always between Jim Dall and Jim Con- verse, who were both hitting very good golf and briniging in the points for the team. The individ- ual struggle for third and fourth man was -be- tween Bill Rice, Harlan Blood, Norman Decker, ancl John Herman, who were all playing consist- ent golf. These boys, with the exception of Jim Dall and Jim Converse, who both have more years of high school golf, will be looking for the highlight of their golf careers in the l956 golf season.

Paul Thompson was not only a record breaker in the shot-put event, but he was also the most consistent point gainer with tosses that were well over 40 feet. Jim Letcher, Paul Thompson, and Richard Cowen placed in the Conference meet with Jim going on to the State finals and winning third place in the high jump. Although the team didn't win any meets, it showed the fighting spirit that will eventually build a group of athletes into a winning team. The team lacked experience and depth in material, but Coach Billings ex- pocts a much better record in the future because of the large turn out on the freshman squad. Returning in l956 are Richard Cowen and Paul Thompson, from whom the younger squad members can learn much about the art of running track. First Row ll to ri-F. Kline, W. Boyle, J. Anderson, T.

These boys were members of the seventh grade track team and the eighth grade track team of 1955. On, these teams they obtained valuable training for their future on the varsity team. The junior high thin clads participated in the same events as the varsity team, with the exception of the half mile, mile, and high hurdle races. These events were excluded because they are far too strenuous for boys of junior high school age to run. The teams keep no formal records of their season's accomplishments, but they did have set schedules. Among the schools an their schedules were Niles, St. Joe, Benton Harbor, Berrien Springs and Dowagiac. Dixon gl Pendley SEVENTH GRADE Standing-L. Webber, S. Coffinger, M. Dalrymple, B. Cronin, L.
