Boys’ Basketball The high school basketball squad was coached by Mr. Merle Darcangelo this year. Hayden Rentfrow, Clifford Ristine, Billy Kjersem, and Jackson Stellingwerf were all new members of the squad. Billy Kjersem and Jackson Stellingwerf did not complete the year with the team as they left school in January0 The team improved rapidly from the start. It lost most of the games played, but was able to threaten the other teams considerably. The boys also showed very good sportsmanship even though they sometimes lost by only five or six points0 Most of the players will return next year and Mr. Darcangelo also hopes to be back. The boys who earned recognition this year were: Harold Dover, Captain and center; Phillip Lilley, Co-captain; Bennie Petersen, left forward; George Crabtree, right forward; Hayden P entfrow, right guard; Sonny Ristine, left guard; Benton Dover, and John Flugge. The grade basketball team was coached by Mr. Darcangelo and the squad con- sisted of: Robert Crabtree, Captain; Hilliard McDonald, Roger Petersen, Dannis Woodard, Daniel Crabtree, Arthur Dover, Floyd Biehl, and Lloyd Crabtree0 They played several games this year and put up a good scrap at all times, but due to their lack of height, they were unable to cope with their opponents. We all hope that next year they will have some height to enable them to do better. With all these difficulties to overcome, they were still the best of sportsc Their teamwork, plus ability, give promise of better teams in the future. Girls’ Physical Training At the beginning of the year, the girls played baseball with the boys0 When the boys started basketball practice, the girls began to play volleyballo On the days when there were basketball games, the boys would play volleyball with the girls. But, being there were more boys, they would beat the girls. There are nine girls in high school: Mary Piane, LaVonne Gardner, Joan Fairbanks, Jean Nevin, Ella Dover, Gertrude McDonald, Susie Nall, Christine Fairbanks, and Mary Alice Dover. The seventh and eighth grade girls include: Connie Scritchfield, Lois Jean Flugge, Anita June Dover, Genevieve McDonald and Maralyn Dover. We played a volleyball game with Judith Gap. Pep Club The cheerleaders chosen were: LaVonne Gardner, Ella Dover, and Jean Nevin for the high school; Connie Scritchfield, Maralyn Dover, and Genevieve McDonald for the grades. At first our cheerleaders had to practice very hard to learn to co- ordinate the yells with their motions0 When this was accomplished, the Pep Club members enjoyed learning new yells. All of us feel that we could not get along without our cheering section at the games. 24
