Before long we discover that Christmas holidays are right on us... followed by the mid-term exams and the end of the semester. The cold weather also brings other sports such as bowling, ice skating, and tobogganing; and one cannot possibly forget the snow ball throwing, and wading through the light feathery snow.

successful season -Concordia. Decatur upset the Railroaders but Garrett came back to crush Churubusco’s Eagles 70-38. Coach Ward Smith’s Railroaders put forth a very good showing before bowing out to Fremont 44-42 in the second games of the Sectional tourney. Another highlight of the season was the ‘‘Mighty’’ Railroaders upset of the NEIAC Champs, Concordia, by a 53-51 score. Fred Salerno scored the winning basket on a pass from Dave Ober with two seconds remaining in the game. Garrett placed third in the NEIAC and won the Holiday Tourney by defeating Angola 81-49 and a tall talented quintet from Fremont 65-48 to annex its fourth straight Holiday Tourney title. Garrett also had an eleven game winning streak which was stopped abruptly by Decatur. Garrett’s tremendous cooperation among players, their outstanding sportsmanship, and their utmost determination are shown by the success of this year’s record. The Railroaders leave the dressing room prepared for another victory. Larry Getts sinks a basket against Central Catholic.
