AMESSAIGE We have had athletic teams here at lamesburg for the past six ears L'k y . I e other schools we have had good seasons and poor ones. Sometimes we have been near the top and sometimes have hit rock-bottom. But in spite of this we keep trying the most ' -- important thing-and hope for a better season the next year. We, as others, believe our school teams as courageous and smart as any other. We believe in order to get the real f o a game we must learn the fundamentals of th t value a game. Consequently the fundamentals of that particular sport are alwa s st d y resse . There must be harmony and a spirit of good will on our squads. The players must like each other and each member must feel his individual responsibility for the success or failure of the team. Back of the team must be the entire student body. After all it is your team. You support it financially and otherwise by cheering and attending the games. Poor seasons are partly your fault and you share the success of a good one. We all must help one another. In athletics at lamesburg High School are opportunities for all to w lc or together-parents, students, faculty and team members. We should have a certain amount of pride in our teams- win, lose, or draw. Differences are and should be forgotten: jealousies are discarded and win, lose, or draw, the teams are yours. Stay behind them consistently! W. VINCENT TIMBERMAN, Coach. 50

BASKETBALL As the football season swung through the home stretch we found Coach W. Vincent Timberman issuing an early call for basketball candidates. With its small, green, inexperienced team, jamesburg opened to defeat a larger, more impressive Alumni squad 27-l8. The succeeding game with Red Bank only brought defeat by an accurate, sharp-shooting quintet who at no time seemed annoyed by our fast courtsters. j.H.S. in its third game was pitted against one of the stronger teams of the shore conference and a well-filled audi- torium saw their eh ome lads avenge a Red Bank defeat and turn back Belmar 27-19 Riding the . waves of victory, the jamesburg squad met with disastrous results at South Amboy, losing to Hoffman and then at home to Hightstown in the final seconds of the closing periods 26-l9, 25-23. The Christ- mas vacation was followed by a battle against one of james- burgs most powerful opponents, Metuchen. The score read 41- l. Throughout the remainder of the season Coach Timber- man's minions swept through a number of their strongest rivals. Captain Stanley lndyke, joseph Spezio, james Christen- sen, David Rogers, Murray Yacknowitz and Robert johnson made up the nucleus of the squad, while William Neeff, William Soden, james Terranova, Charles lvins, and Robert Mason performed consistently as second string men. Due credit should be given Coach Timberman and the squad for their fine work ' in making a fairly strong team out of an inexperienced squad. 51 a
