THE BASKET BALL TEAM -xv--v-v , . r SFABENOW Ikey has been on the team three years. He started in as a floor guard and won his position by his bulldog qualities. When a Junior he was selected as floor guard on the All-District team, in spite of the fact that Culver lost her first game at the tournament. He was elected to captain this year's squad and on account of the scar- city of good material he was changed to forward, where he developed a fine passing game and an excellent eye forr the basket. He graduates this year. SNYDER Snyder substituted at the forward position last year, but was shifted to center this season and developed into one of the cleverest centers that the school has ever had. He is very fast on his feet and can handle the ball the best of any man on the squad. .Paul still has another year of B. B. ahead of him. SHAW f'RosyX' our speedy little forward, has learned to play a very clever game of ball and is the fastest man on the team. At the Rochester tournament he showed up as by far the best forward there. He is only a Junior. OVERMYER Rochester can boast of her Millers, but in Overmyer, Culver has a back guard who promises to surpass any Miller that ever stepped on the floor. He is exception- ally fast on his feet and his speed, together with his 180 pounds of we-ight, enable him to get the ball every time it comes in his territory. He has two more years yet.

D EANE WALKER - Athletics .have always been popular at Culver. All forms have hlad a place in our activities, but basket ball and track have been our specialties. Although handicapped by not having a gymnasium we have alwa'ys made a credit- able showing in basket ball and have established a reputation that is the envy o'f many of our neighboring schools. , We entered a track tea-m in the County Meet this year and carried off first place. Rollins was our star mang he secured 16 of our 44 points and won the gold medal for individual honors. Shaw, Voreis, Shearer and Snyder were the other point win- ners for Culver. A great deal of credit for the high grade c-gf athletics of the Culver High School during the past few years is due to the able leadership of 1Mr. Walker, who has always been interested in this part of our school li'f,e and has done a great deal in the way of raising the standard of athletics practiced. His motto, which has become that of the school, is, Clean Athletics, or None. The basket ball season which has just closed has been a very successful one. Starting with only one experienced man a fine team has been developed under the leadership of Coaches Zechiel and Walker. We feel proud of their record this sea- son and as only one of them will be lost by graduation this year we feel centain that next year's team will surpass any we have had before. Nov.

I THE BASKET BALL TEAM l COOK Byron won his position as floor guard this year against the greatestt competition of any man on the squad. He is a fast and sure player, always into the game from start to finish. VOREIS As a back guard Voreis has kept Overmyer working Hfor his place. He is a steady player and has deserved the monogram he won during the first of the season.. He is a Junior. WARNER - Do-Do was one of the surprises of the season. He made the floor guard posi- tion the first of the term and won his monogram in his first three games. He was very fast and clever, but a little too light for a regular, but he made the rest of the squad stay by their practice fto keep their places. HOSIMER Chester, substitute forward and center, is the only man on the squad that did not play in enough winning games to secure his monogram. He made the squad very late in the season and promises to show up well next year. Page Forty-five
