KLOG -,.:-.-......-'-'-'-T BASKETBALL The season of 1959-40 ended with the District Tourna- ment at Stronghurst. The season was not successful in games won, but the team showed much improvement by the end of the season. The boys worked hard, but were not in form till the latter part of the season, when they defeated Monmouth by ten points, a school which had beaten Kirkwood in the early part of the cage season by thirty points. As a whole, the season was considered a success, for most of the games were very close and exciting, with the boys showing fine sportsmanship through the entire basket- ball season. - The squad appreciated the support of the student body and the people of the community.
