BASKETBALL No. 1. Mr. McMillian, sponsor of the Pirates, has a real junior team, as you see on the left- The Pirates are the A lunch junior major basketball champions. The Wildcats ran them a close race for first place, but they had to be con- tent With second place., There were many exciting games in this league that I am sure the spectators enjoyed very much. The team had a fine system of passing and theindividual players did some nice dribbling. The team as a Whole did playing that any basketball critic would consider very good. They are pictured from left to right on the opposite page: Cheney, Henderson, Miller, Kauer, Farquhar, Henekam, and Mr. McMillian- No. 2. The B lunch junior major Tigers have some team as you see, or they would not have taken first place away from those other good teams. The team is captained by Frankie Bono. This team is not very big in height but put them with players their size and the score will be plenty high in favor of the Tigers. Mr. Fulton is the sponsor of this team. They are pictured from left to right on the op- posite page: Mangold, Maxwell, Martinez, Bono, Wayne, Grego, and Mr. Fulton. No. 3. This is the last team Winning first place in bas- ketball,but it is not theleast. Leonard Peterson picked a good team when he picked these boys for they have Won the championship in the B lunch minor league for juniors. They were elevated to their position by good hard playing. All these boys want to earn letters and this will go a long way to make points toward their letters. Their sponsor is Mr. Finch. The picture on the left is of the team, left to right: Peterson, Edwards, Monroe, Harpst, Stewart, and Mr. Finch- Page One Hundred amd Eleven

VOLLEY BALL No. 1- Guy Cupelli has another winning team, this time in volley-ball. They were elevated to the position by hard playing and full credit should be given the-A lunch senior major Wolves on such a splendid running team. Bang! That was the ball smacking the ground after a pretty spike by Joe Mautz. The spectators gave Joe a big hand for that nice bit of playing. That is an illustration of an every- day noon game on an Edison volley ball court. The team is pictured here from left to right: Mautz, Rhodes, Burke, lllgartlinez, Cupelli, Danielson, Stewart, Nicholson, and Mr. inc . No. 2. The Wolves seem to be taking all the prizes this year, for Jimmie Lloyd was selected captain again for Volley Ball and has turned out a second winning team. The team had to fight hard before they could conquer the other clubs, but they deserve- every bit of the praise given them. They are the A lunch senior minor Wolves and Mr. ,Finch is their sponsor. The pictures on the opposite page from left to right are: Lloyd, Chafe, Creager, Rego, Wilbur, Strong, Bass, Furiani, and Mr. Finch. No. 3- All these teams must like their old captain so much they elect him again for Tom Kinley is captain of a second winning team this year. This team is good at set-ups and spiking them over. I have watched this team play and believe me I have seen none better for their size. Their fair- ness is the thing this team is noted for and they are called Mr. Finch's Fighting Wolves. They had to Work hard to get this position. The team is called the B lunch intermediate major Pirates. They are pictured on the opposite page from the left to the right: Falantine, Martin, Kinley, Danskin, Rochon, Tabor, and Mr. McMillian. No. 4. Bud Copfer's Cut-Throat Pirates took first place inthe intermediate minor B lunch league. Bud had a good team this year and a well working one- The players were all good friends and were working hard for points for their letters. Volley Ball is fast becoming one of the major sports at our school and it is very hard to play this game without a good deal of practice beforehand. The team is pictured on the left and the players are from left to right: Garrick, Sanchez, Aregood, Swanson, Copfer, Salatino, Gla- vin, Oliver, and Mr. McMillian. Page One Hundred and Thirteen
