Second Team This team vas organized primarily to build up material for the First Teamr These boys took their task seriously and began to show us they could play basketball. They did not play as many games 215 the First Team but those they did play they played exceptionally well. They won two of their six games and the rest of the games were very close. They lost one of their best men when Kenneth Bricker quit school at the end of the first semester, but the team Soon recovered and went on just the same. Henry Lawson might also be mentioned as the high point man of all the games after Kenneth Bricker left. He and Michael Tinik played some on the First Team. 1119 23L E1 FortyrSeven

CBasketball First Team This has not been a successful 5 1mm fur Mudiv- Son as far as winning games are Concerned. We began the Seaman with all new nmterial. Num- of the, boys had ever played a basketball game before nor had they seen one played by others. Under these comlitiom they have done very well. There is something: on which the boys can he praised and that is their sportsmanship, school spirit, and ability to stick out a season regleTlleSs 0f the scores piled up against them. It is easy to play ax game, and follow through a full season when one is on the top but few boys 01' schools will stick uut 21 season in which they lose every game. Even though the score of some of our games were clow and they did not think the referee gave them a fair ll 'le. there were no arguments either with the referee 01' with the other team. I think the good sportsnmnship and school spirit that has been shown by this team and also by the whole high school group should he encouraged. Next year We will have four of these five play- ers back again, losing only 0110, Kenneth Gregory. These four shnuld make a sound nucleus around which it winning team can he built. KEITH TARRANT.
