Captain of Boys The 1936 basketball teams, facing probably the hardest schedule of the school's history, turned in the best record collectively known to L. H. S. The boys' team, midgets in size but giants in basketball play, was the best to represent the school in the past ive years. A deceptive passing attack, scintil- lating floor play, and concentrated team work enabled them to win l2 games out of 20 played. Coach C. G. Farmer, confronted with the problem of developing a trio of capable guards and a sturdy forward to team with Tayor and Kennerly, is due much praise for the remarkable way in which he molded the girls' team into a winning aggregation. At the first of the season, having lost many reliable per- formers by graduation, the team was despondent and listless: but under the care- ful tutelage of coach Farmer, the sextet gradually but surely improved as the season progressed, and, finally realizing their full momentum, ended the season by winning the county championship for the fifth consecutive year. Captain Snooks Taylor and Rexl' Kennerly, sharpshooting forwards, were outstanding performers for girls, while Brown, Fisher. and Sechler were best for the boys' team.
