5 VIINUTEHA INTHAMURAL BASKETBALL The Intramural basket- ball was played somewhat differently this year than previous years as there were no class teams. The teams were made up of members of any class in the school. There were three classes of basketball. The C class, for boys of the lower grades, the B class for boys and girls of the Junior High School, and the A class of boys and girls of the High School. The rules this year were different from pre- ceding years. The boys' rules were that any team could be made up of any persons in the school that are about the same weight and Aheight. Each team was allowed eight players. The girls' rules were the same as the boys' as far as weight and height are concerned, but their teams were allowed nine players. The winner of the C class was Tempe's team. They beat Worl's team in the finals by a score of l7-15. In the B class Wm. Christman's first team beat his second team by a score of 19-9. The girls in the B class fin als were Pearson and Gardner. Each team dis- played a fine game of basketball with Gardner's team winning by a score of l8-16. In the A class Ed Penkala and Isadore Mirkin's teams landed in the finals with Ed's team being the winning quintet. The finals were played in the evening. There should be some good var- sity material for next year out of this year's intramural basketball. Iage Twenty-Six

Schmidt, Manager Third Row Brock, Mirkin, Penkala, Klinger, Graf, Sparks, Jones BOYS BASKETBALL This year our team was on the rocks as far as winning games goes due to the fact that we lacked the experienced material. The boys felt bad about the loss of six games out of the first ten played. However, they didn't let down' as might have been expected but managed to keep in good spirits in spite of defeat. Our outlook for next years' team is good, for the boys have gained in experience, improved their form, some good material is coming from the eighth and ninth grades. Also, there is a sense of sportsmanship coming from inter-class play. We are losing some good boys at graduating time this year including, Ray Brock, Paul Graf, .Bill Jones, Monroe Kling- er, John Van Paemel, of the first squad, and Bob Maurer, Jack Isenbarger, Douglas Eby, of the sec- ond squad. The first twelve reg- ulars, the number of games they have played, and the years in the var- sity are as follows: G Y Brook 18 1 Graf 15 5 Jones 18 5 Klinger 15 5 Mirkin 19 2 Penkala 19 2 Sparks 17 2 Isenbarger 8 1 Leichtman 7 1 Schmidt 18 1 Bennett 7 1 Van Paemel 5 1 Page Twenty-Five

Third Row Greenwood, Graf, Jones, Sparks, L, Schmidt, Maurer, Liggett BASEBALL The 1956 baseball sea- son was satisfactory even though many of the veter- ans were lost from the squad. The team proved to be the winner in 571 of the games played by defeating their opponent four times out of seven. The pitching staff con- sisted of Barrett and Liggett, with Sparks and Ballard doing the work behind the plate. Thirty boys were out for varsity baseball this year. Three veterans, Graf, Klinger, Jones, were back on the squad. Next fall the team should prove to be a winning squad, because only three members will be lost by graduation. Page Twenty-Seven
