This year has been one of preparing our team for gains in the coming year. However, we were not without accomplishments which we can point out with pride. Tech's basketball team gained the honor of having two men, John Buczynski and John Spanitz, chosen on the All-High team. One of the Highlights ot this season was the Varsity-Faculty Basketball game. High man forthe Faculty was Mr. Milledge with twenty-five points. The game provided many thrills especially the last eight seconds when the Varsity managed to score its winning points bringing the score to 43-42. Many thanks to our coach, Mr. Witmer, for the supervision ot our training this season. BASKETBALL TEAM Row One E. Reynolds, J. Whitehead, C. Tomasi, G Caputi, M. Kowalski, N. Neu, T. Brown Row Two G.

The twelve schools participating all strive for the coveted Harvard Cup which is awarded after the playoff game on Thanksgiving Day. Although our team did not qualify for the championship, left end Jerry Armstrong made second team All High and proved to be a valuable receiver for quarterback Jim Whitehead, who had an honorable mention along with backs, Timmy Jordan and John Spanitz. Fred Mathewson fsecond teaml proved to be very aggressive and the stalwart of our offensive and defensive lines. The absence of vet- eran back Sam Greco due to an iniury received in practice dealt a hard blow to the whole team. gg
