.COCHRAN AERIAL 19 Members of the squad desire to take this opportunity to thank our coaches, lldr. Felton and Mr. Hatch, for the extensive training they put the boys through. This is the first year that Cochran has been so fortunate as to have two coaches, both who are 'among the best in the state. In addition, thanks are due to the student body and faculty for their splendid financial support. Considering the lightness of the team and the fact that most of the teams played were out of our class, our boys can be proud of their record. Jack Price, our able captain, deserves much credit for his ability to keep the team together.
