BLUE AND WHITE' OUR TEAM Captain Sam Tucciarone climaxed his high school career with the best work of his three years on the hardwood. Sam's ability coupled with three years' experience in the local style of play, proved so eiective that he was high score man at the Warren Sectional Tournament and was chosen on the All Tournament Team. Dynamite Reilly was always in the play, coming up like a subma- rine in unexpected places, taking the ball from unsuspecting opponents, and making difficult shots at unexpected moments. Greyhound Tracy played a fine game both on the offense and de- fense during the whole season. His work at center tip off was consistently good. A low takeoff with plenty of sinewy spring, enabled him to outjump most of the centers opposing him. Punch Evans showed increasing aggressiveness as the season ad- vanced. He proved to be one of those reliable guards who are always in on the defensive but who have enough sense of timing to break in and score at the opportune time. He was consistent on both long and short shots. Gibralter Palumbo proved to be one of the wickedest guards to get around, in local school competition. At the same time he opened up with a fine exhibition of scoring in the sectional tournament. His excellent work at that time gained him a place on the second All Tournament Team. The men who were on the squad but did not earn their letters during the season, showed plenty of promise. Four of them will be back next year. Aggressive Williams proved his worth in the Boardman and Struthers games, and filled in for the regulars in great style. Ray Mur- phy proved himself a good team man and the squad will miss him next year. Whitey Schell and Felix Clacko look as though they will be able to produce next season, with another year's growth on their shoulders, and the seasoning they had this winter. Flash Choppa was the fastest man on the squad and should have a big year in 1931-32. 1 I 9 3 I Page forty-nine

'eil USD BLUE AND WHITE 6lRL'S BASKETBALL VIRGINIA TRACEY Virginia, our captain, strong and tall Is sometimes our centerg she can outjump them all' You'd better watch, for when she gets the ball, Her opponent is sure to fall. ' THELMA MILLER Thelma's motto is Always fight And this she does with all her might, She fights to the finish and nevler gives ing Always saying We'll surely win. MARY ELIZABETH SEABORN Mary Elizabeth, as forward, helps a lot, She gives us all the pep she's got, But she's a senior and has to go, And the basketball team is full of woe. ELEANOR ROWLANDS One who is keen is Eleanor, And she is just a Sophomore, So here's to luck for the next two years, With Eleanor the team need have no fears. EMMA FORBES Emma's small, clever-and oh! how fastg On the basketball floor she can't be passed 3 Like a flash she shoots up two points more, While her guard wonders where she is on the fioor. MARJORIE SNYDER Marj. as guard is snappy and quickg Sure is full of the good old nick In basketball she has a lineg She can get the ball any old time. MARY PETERNAC Mary is slick, quick and tall, Where you find Mary, you'll find the ball. We're glad that she'l1 be back next fall. To help win the games and to iight for us all. FRANCES PILKINGTON Fran's not very tall, but what's the diff, As long as she's fighting and gives them a biEg She has the essentials a good guard requires, And when she's playing, she's like so many live wires. OTHER SQUAD MEMBERS - The rest of the squad members are Alice Abrams, Ruth Stewart, 9 Mary Stephens, Marjorie Beaumire, Laura Bell Owen, Mildred Pen- nel and Maxine Biailey. Everybody can't be stars so while some of the others were on the floor doing their bit, the others were on the bench cheering for them. All the girls tried hard and did their best, and next year we'll see most of them among the regulars. +l93I- Page fifty-one IGI IIGVP
