He should go far next year with the ex- perience he has gained this season. HOPE - Harold finished up his basketball activities at Central this year by presenting a fine show of his ability. He was all over the hardwood and was a most dependable player. I-IAGER - Weldon was one of the main players of this year's team, having two seasons of experience behind him.
