Row 3: Paul Formolo, Gerald Edlund, Budd Bastian, Drew Dyer, and Coach LaJeunesse. Basketball ..,-.g3p..,- This year Coach Omer La Jeunesse foimed his team around four returning lettermen, Mortensen, Hicks, Hosking, and Lofstrom. They came through with eight wins and the same number of loses, pulling some contests out of the fire and dropping other close ones. Opening the season against Ishpeming with Hosking, Mortensen, Hicks, Sleder, and Lofstrom, with Pozza, Olivanti, Flaminio, and Patrie in reserve, the Mountaineers, won a thriller to the tune of 36-34 over a tall, rangy team. They lost to the U. P. Champs of Besse- mer, 52-30, and then bounced back to down Escanaba 41-34. In the Kingsford game they lost in the closing seconds to our rival of many years by a heartbreaking 39-40 count. Down, but not out, they beat Stambaugh 38-37, and then rolled over Norway 43-36. In the next four con- tests the Mountaineers had tough going when they lost to Crystal Falls 39-42, and to Kings- ford 32-36 in another red-hot battle. Our scores with Stambaugh and Norway were 24-27 and 37-47, respectively. They came back to down Escanaba 43-42, and then dropped a close 44-46 decision to Ironwood. Menominee fell 44-40 before the Mountaineers, and then the boys from I. M. H. S. were stopped by Iron River 29-35. Closing the season in good form, they defeated Crystal Falls 44-39. Q It was an up and down season but winning or losing, the boys were in there fighting, and deserve three rousing cheers for a well fought and hard won season. ' Earle Hosking and Ted Lofstrom finished their careers on the hardwood at mid- term and did a grand job of backing up old I. M. H. S. Bob Mortenson, who saved the day for us many times, wound up his career this season along with another senior, Jim Patrie. We hope that Coaches La Jeunesse and Poisson will continue to produce many more fine teams in additionjo those which have been under their direction as trophy-winning combinations. Page Eighty hvu
