BASKETBALL BOUT forty candidates answered Coach Blumenstock's call for basketball practice. From these and last year's lettermen, Ken Nelson, Ralph Sullivan joe Raiczyk and Stan Wisniewski, a fine team was molded. The outfit was composed of no particularly bright stars but a smooth working, fine combination that was a thorn in the side of every opponent. Camden High, our bitter rival, found this to be very true. In the game witnessed by all the A. A. members of the school, Vocational came from behind in the last quarter to nose out Camden. This feat alone made the basketball season highly successful. Our boys did not always come out on the top but they furnished plenty of tough opposition for their opponents. We are looking for a good season next year as the team will be composed mainly of veterans. Members of the team are: Front Row: Caldwell, Simpson, Nelson, Sullivan, Labenz, Raiczyk CCaptainj, K ulczynski, Burnstin, VVisniewski. Bark Row: Hoy lManagerD, Koslowski Qlylanagerj, Blumenstock CCoachJ, lVeston, Casmer, Cibinski, Woods, Roman, Raiczyk, James, Scullen, Thompson i l AI X- K ll l l
