COACH ALLEN Mr. Allen, coach at I. H. S. has become a familiar figure on the bench at all Spud ball games. He has guided and directed the Spuds. for the last five years, and certainly has attained an excellent win record of .750 during this time. He has proven himself as a coach even more so this past season with a tougher schedule. We are indeed proud of having Mr. Allen as coach. He not only filled his position as a good coach, but he also teaches social studies and physical education. His fine character and witty personality are familiar with all students. His hair is becoming a little thinner every year, but he comes up with a winning team consistently. His untiring efforts and long hours of extra work have paid off. As coaches should feel, he believes there is more in basketball than just winning ball games. One of his great objects is to mold young men into future citizens who will also be on the winning side. The staff wishes Roy the best of luck in future years as Spud coach. MR, BUECHLER If there is any one person that can be pointed to as an aid to the team's suc- cess, then point to Mr. Earl Buechler. Mr. Buechler, when employed at the Ireland High was not assigned to ath- letic duties. However his interest in the school has gone much farther than the class-room. He helps the coach in many ways, such as helping with the reserves, scouting and also by his moral support. Many thanks and good luck to the as- sistant coach, Mr. Buechler. HTONYH Anthony Tony Terwiske was assist- ant student manager during his sopho- more year and this makes his second year as student manager. In this capacity Tony is well liked by the players and coach. He helps in many ways and part of the team's success can be attributed to his efficiency. With Tony as manager, the equipment is always in place. We think Tony likes helping to play nurse- maid to the team. This is his last year as manager and he has an under-study fJerome Buschkoetterj who will take his place next year.

FRANK Frank Schmitt, better known as Schmitty, has played four years on the high school basketball team. As a fresh- man he was a forward on the reserve team. When Schmitty was a sophomore, he subbed in the forward position on the first team. As a junior he made the starting five on the tirst team as a guard. It was here he began to impress the fans with his ability to fast-break. In his senior year Frank really came into his own. All the opposing coaches and teams have a great respect for his speed and his ability to break through. The school will also lose a swell fellow and a great ball player when Schmitty graduates. ALF Alf Burger, a senior, has played basketball all his four years of high school. As a freshman he played in the center position and occasionally at for- ward. In his sophomore year he subbed at center and forward. As a junior Alf made center on the first team and it was here he began to shine. No doubt many of the team's victories were assured be- cause of him. In his senior year Alf was again in the center position. His playing ability was outstanding. In many games he had the honor of having two guards assigned to him. The school will lose an excellent ball player and a fine fellow this year.
