ty-ei First in the minds of the members of the Butler High School Basketball Team is unity and fair play. lf the team is victorious. the laurels are be- stowed upon the team as a whole and not upon any individual player. However, we prefer the willow to victory by foul means. To consider the players indi- vidually, foremost in our ranks is our captain and forward. George Hupp. A better for- ward cannot be found in Bates County. and he. as captain. is constantly on the lookout for the welfare of the team. Not far behind our captain in play- ing ability are our forwards. Seba jackson and john Dykaa man. Both are clean and fast forwards, who have done splen- did work throughout the entire season. Yes. slightly elongated are our centers. Price and Bul- lock. but that is what it takes to make good centers, and if aught is lacking in science it is given in effort. Our guards. David Thompson and Harvey Hensley. are truly what the name implies. Their defense is so effective that it takes more than the average forward to make a showing when up against them. Notwithstanding the quality of the team. we owe a great part of our success to our coach and principal, Nlr.Gorf rell, who has given much of his energy and time toward the making of the winning team that the B. H. S. Team is.
