MEMOIRS 17131727 46'aAlmt6alL The most successful team this year is the famous Academy quintet of basketball players. We have had good teams before, but this year we really shown our- selves very capable and progressive, despite the fact that we ploy in all our opponents' gym. The team this semester has played teams from other high schools, boy's clubs, and our own Alumni. Their record of nine wins and three loses speaks well for their efforts. The high scorers for the teams are: Isaac Peltynovich 333, B. Freund 41, A. Dudovitz 39, and A. Dornbaum 36. Runner-ups are: M. Levy 26, W. Gertz 22, B. Weiner 17, H. Platkevich 9, and E. Meyers 8. The boys have given their own time for practicing and provide themselves with means of traveling to the games. Although the team has not the opportunity and facilities for developing into a top notch team, still they have reached unbelievable goals. This is due primarily to their fighting spirit and their desire to bring victory and prestige to their school.
