Coach Kirksey warns the team during halftime not to become overconhdent lest the opponents uput them down on the Floor, full of splinters. Coach Michael Kirksey: A Sharp-Eyed and Resolufe Challenger A former University of Missouri basketball star, Coach Michael Kirksey gave the Vi- kings this year a dynamic leadership that led to an outstanding 18-8 season record. Coach, however, goes beyond the teaching of basketball fundamentals by emphasizing sportsman like conduct and academic achievement, and the squad responded with a highly respectable 2.2 grade-point average. The coach commends this year's squad who, in the face of serious height disadvantage, came out on top through hard work, a cooperative spirit, and a continuing determination. We look forward to many more successful seasons with Coach Kirksey and the Viking squad. i EQ ff gf e 3 5, A Manager for this yearls squad was Tom Sweeney, a methodical sophomore from Festus, hlissouri. 48

Gary Coson: The Moody Thief Gary Cason, a freshman from DeSoto, Missouri, names psychology as his major interest and Mrs. Hudson as his favorite teacher. In his spare time, Gary enjoys writing lyric poetry, a hobby which he hopes to develop further in the future. Gary at 6' 4'l helps provide height for the Viking club. As he says, Gary gets most of his baskets from closer than ten feet, but he also uses a soft fall-awayjump shot to score. Alternating between center and forward, Gary grabs a lot of valuable rebounds for the Vikings. Don Cook: The Leaping Frog Don Cook, a native of Hillsboro, Mis- souri, majors in education carrying seven- teen hours. Frog, as he is affectionately called by his teammates, says .jefferson Col- lege is beautiful but tough. He finds English II to be his most interesting subject and Mr. Freisinger his most engaging teacher. Don enjoys all kinds of activities and spends most of his free time hunting in the winter. After a game, Don feels good if the team played well and lost, and if they played well and won, he feels great. Don is tenacious on defense and frequently sinks his favorite shot from the left corner.
