BASKETBALL MANEUVERS Back Row: Everett Kelly, Bruce Reed, Don- ald Metz, Richard Stutsman, Donald Maddix, Mr. Scott. Front Row: Mark Weston, Paul Berg, Bill Watson, Gerald Pasch, and James McGregor. William Watson Bill Bill is the only one taken by graduation this year from the basketball team. He is a guard and holds his man to low scores. This is his third year of basketball and he has played in every game during the past year. Paul Berg Peanuts Paul was a great help to the team this year. His opposing guard could never hold him scoreless. He is a smooth ball handler and is one of our high point men. This is his third year of basketball and he will be on our team next year. James McGregor Jason James was a very dependable guard and his opponent had his hands full if he expected to score. He is always calm and cool and be- cause of his height, he was good at getting the ball off the bankboard. He will be a valuable player next year. Mark Weston Weston Mark's height has made him a good center and he is good at giving Lockridge the tip-05. Mark was unable to play last year but this year's experience will help in next year's games. Gerald Pasch Lefty Gerald is only a sophomore but his left hand shots were still connecting this year. Al- though handicapped by his lack of height, he made up for that in his determination. He is another high point man and will help the team go places next year. Donald Maddix 'tDon Donald was a very dependable substitute and will probably take Watson's place on the team next year. He will have a hard place to fill, but we are conlident that he will make the grade. Bruce Reed Chile Bruce is another good substitute and has two more years of basketball. He is a forward and is shifty and fast and a good shot. He will be a valuable player next Year. Other players available next year are Don- ald Metz, Richard Stutsman, Everett Kelly, Wayne Diliavou, and Carroll Ouverson.

SOFTBALL Because of lack of facilities no baseball is played at L.H.S., but under the direction of Coach Scott the boys have learned a lot of baseball and if games could have been ar- ranged with other schools we think they would have made a good account of themselves. In spite of lack of outside games the boys have enjoyed playing matched games and work- up. Those who have shown unusual promise are Bruce Reed, Dick Hostetler, and Lefty Pasch, pitchers. Bill Watson, Mark Weston, James McGregor, Donald Maddix, Kenneth Peterson, Russell Parker, and Fred Grant, in- fielders. Floyd Johnson, Wayne Dillavou, Harold Graber, Everett Kelly, Donald Billings- ley, Bill Billingsley, Marion Stanley, and Guy Messer, outfielders. Carroll Ouverson usually served as umpire. Verna Briggs Betty Helfenstine CHEER LEADERS Our cheer leaders this year were Verna Briggs and Betty Helfenstine. They proved quite efficient, dressed in the school colors of purple and gold, as they led the school cheer- ing to boost the boys on to victory. They were chosen by the school at large at the first of the school year and have fulfilled their duty well. We Wish to thank them for the splendid services they have rendered us.

The Zephyrs were ahead during most of the game, but at the last minute Fairfield scored a basket. This was the second con- secutive game the Zephyrs lost by one point. The week before they lost by a score of 21-20 to Liberty- ville. -L- SURPRISE FOR PLEASANT PLAIN Lockridge, Feb. 7 Another victory for the Zephyrs last night resulted when Berg sh'-wed brilliant success.

The points were pretty well balanced between Berg, Pasch, and Weston. It was not one of the easiest vic- tories of the year. for the scrappy Pleasant Lawn Five plays good basketball in spite of the fact they Lofkridge, Although it game it was have no gymnasium in which to I practice. HOME GAME Lockridge, Feb. 28 In the last home game of the season, the Lockridge boys were able to maintain their winning re- cord by preventing the Batavians from ever getting ahead during the entire game. The local boys played a fast, clean game, and co- operated well together. Berg, Wes- ton, and Pasch rolled in the points for our team. McGregor, Watson and Maddix also played excellent offensive and defensive positions. This was the last home game for the only senior player, Bill Wat- son. We are sure that the Lock- ridge team will miss him greatly next season. L LOCKRIDGE BEATS LIBERTYVILLE AT ' TOURNAMENT Cantril, March 7 The Lockridge Zephyrs pulled down another victory last night when they succeeded in over-pow- ering their Libertyville opponents 29-17. With the Lockridge boys all determined to win at least one game in the confiict between the schools of Jefferson County, they were almost certain to at least hold their opponents to a close score. Mark Weston was high point man for Lockridge, ringing in a total of eleven points, while Paul Berg did his share by total- ing up six. This victory for the Zephyrs gives them a chance to meet Cantril in action tomorrc,-W night. SPREE!!! Cantril, March 7 In one of the most thrilling games of the season, Lockridge lost a close game last night to Cantril in the Sectional Basketball Tournament. Berg, who seemed to be carrying luck itself with him, scored sixteen points against Can- tril. The previous night he had six, making him a total of 22 for the two games. Lockridge was handicapped due to the fact that Gerald Pasch was ill with the fiu. Had he been able to play as much as ordinarily, they could have easi- ly had another victory to their list. The boys, however, show splendid team work. and made an excellent showing for themselves. -L- ZEPHYRS SURPRISE LIGHTWEIGHTS Fairfield, Feb. 21 A victory over the Fairfield Lightweights last night moved Lockridge up to 4th place in the Jefferson County standings.
