Baseball The baseball team under Coach Gerry Graham look forward to the forthcoming baseball season with a great deal of anticipa- tion. Bob Owen and Keith Ferguson are Co-Captains of the team this spring. Other lettermen who are back this year are Galen Newton, Ioe Sajtar, Garland Fox, and Duane Bone. There are so few lettermen back this spring, that the reserves will be counted upon very strongly in the heavy schedule ahead of the team. Garland Fox and Duane Bone are the standbys of the pitching staff and Ioe Sajtar and Galen Newton are their battery mates.

Basketball The basketball team with only a nucleus of 3 lettermen back, overcame many diffi- culties last season to field a team that was worthy of the highest traditions of Central sports. Although they won only five games all season the fellows were scrapping and fighting in every ball game. They played their best ball against Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo, defeating Benton Harbor for the first time in 4 years and splitting with Kalamazoo in two games which helped to make it a successful season after all. Owen Anderson was Captain this season and lack Ellis was elected Captain for next year. At the close of the season 10 varsity letters were given out. FIRST ROW: Vandenberg, H., Newton, G., Squires, B., Anderson, O., Capt.: Feeny, I., Simmons, K., Hurley, D. SECOND ROW: Dorsett, B., Mgr.: Drikakis, G., Ellis, I.. Capt.-Elect: Gibson, S., Medich, M., Wilkinson, P., Mercer H., Mgr.
