BASKETBALL David Junior Needs,nSteven climaxed four years of br- illiant basketball by out- standing performances this season. Co-captain of the 1957 team,a real point get- ter. Jack Frost whose real spi- rit of fight made him a valuable man. Dependableas manager of the squad and captain of the reserves. Wayne Balliet said very little but he did a great deal. Graduating from the first team to give a fine tournament performance, he won wide acclaim. Lewis Reber, a boy with a fine sense of team work. A steady guard and a real cog in a defensive machine. You will see more.of him in '58. Charles Sm1th,nChuckn played a dashing game but had hard luck in shooting. He has an- other year ahead of him too.
