He was a good floor man as well as having an eye for baskets. He graduates this year. JERROLD BELL, Guard Jud was the fastest and best floor-man in the District. His eye for baskets also helped to put two trophies in our case. He was picked as guard on the all district team. He will be back next year. JAMES BARRETT, center Jim's eye for baskets was uncanny. His height helped to outjump every center o-n the Val- ley. He was picked as center on the Second Dis- trict team. He will not be back. RALPH PARSONS, Forward Dutch was picked to lead the District team which surely shows his mei it. He was high point man in the Valley and his Hoof play was excel- lent. FRED LYON, Guard Lyon was a clean, steady player and was a guard that made it hard for the opposing teams to get set ups. He leaves the school this year.

It shows the merit of the team of 1923-24. With two letter men back and a squad of the best fighters in the Valley, Coach Shankland developed the most eiiicient machine in the district. To the team the first whistle meant the beginning of a fight that ended with the last whistle, and that spirit which would not admit defeat but kept them fighting on, played its part in the winning of the championship. They have played the game fair and square until all of their opponents have told them li we can't win the championship, we hope that you do. Then turn to- their record, only three games lost out of nineteen, and all of those lost with honor. To lfrontenac and Chanute they lost fairly and squarely and with no alibies. To Cherryvale the story might have been different but for the fact that two regulars were not in the game. But we do not begrudge Cherryvale of their victory for we consider the season as a huge success. Page J
