With hopes of victory stifled, the Junior Varsity bas- ketball team, composed of sophomores, had to settle for a losing season, with a 3-13 record. Yet, although the record was not at all spectacular, the drive and potential skill wit- nessed by anyone who has seen this team in action was enough to greatly boost the hopes for Lutheran High's var- sity team of the future.

In their first year of high school play the seventeen boys on the team worked hard to develop the teamwork necessary for a winning formula. Five straight losses at the beginning of the season only aroused the fighting spirit of the team more. The frosh went ahead to win their next six games and finally ended up with a 7 and 7 record. -68- LHS 34 Sheridan Union LHS 20 Hodgekins Jr. LHS 25 St. Francis LHS 23 Mullen LHS 28 Sheridan Union LHS 39 Mapleton LHS 35 Mapleton LHS 25 Holy Family LHS 44 Immanuel LHS 31 Emmaus LHS 44 Immanuel i' LHS 36 St. Francis LHS 29 Holy Family LHS 16 Cherry Creek
