ABOVE: Ron Johnson RIGHT: Don Jensen LEFT: Byron Prais BELOW: Ted Olson Art Serfling, who has been varsity basket- ball coach for the past several years, was succeeded this season by Tom Short, an ex- perienced coach of the past at LFHS. With seven of last year's lettermen re- turning, the Scouts did not quite come up to expectations as far as winning games is con- cerned. However, the competitive spiritof conference play, and the backing provided by the student body kept the Scouts in the race and contributed to many exciting moments of basketball throughout the season. The Scouts edged Woodstock and Libertyville each by one point and conquered Zion and McHenry in good style. A powerful Barrington quintet came close to defeat in the hands of the Scouts as did Crystal Lake , Zion, and McHenry. The team, however, was unable to down its oppo- nent more than four times, and LFHS finish- ed the season in seventh place of the North Suburban Conference. Senior Ted Olson led the scoring this year withZl9 points to bring his total points scored in varsity play to 524, more than enough to smash the conference record. Seniors Ed Ol- son and Bill J ohn s on each claimed a large portion of the teams' scoring by hitting for 159 and 146 points respectively, while junior Ron Johnson addeci76.
