BASKETBALL The Grizzlie squad won only a few games, but theywere a spirited and hard trying group that fought their hardest till the finish of the game to bring home a win for Leavenworth. At the end of the Basketball season the Grizzlies pushed hard to gain admission into the county tournament, and they again pushed hard after they had won entrance, but only to lose by a few points. In the game with Peshastin they lost by only 6 points: 21-I5, and again the in Manson game they lost by only a few points 48-51, but the strategy used in the two games were not only unique but also a bit comical to watch.

The boys are members of the Junior Ski Club. The five boys didn't participate as a team very often. They enteredthree meetsand took second place in the Leavenworth High School Invitational 3-way meet, fourth place in the Wenatchee High School 4-way meet and eleventh place in the Betta Cup meet. Most of the boys entered different meets as individuals. They did very good in their meets. Jimmy Brennen is the only boy on the team that earned a letter this year. Although the other boys tried, they didn't place enough times to qualify them for a letter. Ben Cottman and Duane Brown were their coaches. They worked with the boys quite often and took them on some of their ski trips. The Leavenworth Winter Sports Club was responsible for bringing the National Ski Jumping Championships to Leavenworth in 1955. This event took the place of the annual Ski Jumping Tournament they hold each year in Leavenworth. There were top skiers from all over the United States and Canada. It drew a record crowd of approximately 7,000 people. The boys from the team, along with many others, were packed on the hill for this event. Since the Nationals took the place of the annual Ski Tournament in Leavenworth, the Ski Roy- alty, instead of representing the local tournament, were chosen to represent the Nationals, this year. They were Senior girs picked b a committee made up of three men from town. The girls were chosen from a group of eight girils. The royalty were: Queen Sharon Coffee, Prince sses Sherry Speer and Judy Clark and an alternate, Dee King. X N Q-we-'-e t:1.
