VARSITY BASKETBALL Mr. john Polischak, Claude Seifrit, Walter Cook, Captain Harvey Esh- elman, Howard Muhlenberg, Eugene Styer, Roland johnson. At the beginning of the nineteen forty-seven season the pros- pects of a successful court year seemed rather dull. The fact that there were only four boys in each of the two upper classes meant that only a few of the players had experience. Coach Polischak's big job was the building of a team from sev- eral seasmed players and a few new recruits. As in past years, the Caernarvon High quintet joined the Bi- County League which included Honey Brook, Warwick, Terre Hill, Coch- ranville, and Caernarvon High Schools. Two boys from the senior class played on the varsity team. Harvey Eshelman played center for two years and was chosen captain during his last year. Roland Johnson was a newcomer to the team and played forward. Team Record Opponents C. H. S. Opponents Ontelaunee . Sinking Spring .... Amity .... Warwick . . Amity .... Terre Hill . Pennside . .
