IE! I-I BASKETBALL Left to Right-Forrest Bell, Darrel VValters, Pearl Hamm, Coach Hoerner, Capt. George Suggs, Harold Baughman, Ralph Meyer, Ray Suman, Von Klepinger. The graduating class of 1925 took with them four members of the Var- sity basketball quintet. Their absence no doubt was noticed in the first few games, but the reserves of last yearys squad Filled each vacancy very well. Coach Hoerner issued a call for basketball men, and nineteen responded. The brightest prospects were Captain Suggs, Suman, Klepinger, Meyers, Baughman, Miley, Hamm, and Bell. There were also a few yearlings out for the team. The season was very successful in that only one game was lost up to the semi-finals in the County Tourney.
