Francis Moul is playing his third year as a letterman. This is his first year at the forward spot and he is doing yeoman work. He is potent with his jump shot from the side and is cur- rently second in the scoring column of a well- balanced scoring team. Moul is one of the better ball handlers also. FRANCIS MOUL JOE ALLEN MAURICE HAZZARD Joe Allen switched from the post position last year to make the other forward spot. He sparkles as a rebounder and feeder, and also on the defensive. Maurice Hazzard, at 6' 2 is the big surprise of the season, He came along from the B squad of last year to take over the post position on the varsity. He is only a sophomore and should develop into quite a threat the next two years, Dean Kornelsen, who can fill in at any position is currently holding down the guard spot. He is tough on rebounding and a good deceptive ball handler, As the annual goes to the press Dean is leading in free throws. Gary Johnson at 5' 10 is the shortest player on the first five. Despite this factor he gets his share of the rebounds and is the playmaker of the team, This is Garys third year as a letterman and second as a regular. He made the grade on the district all- star team last year as a Sophomore. DEAN KORNELSEN

Although he failed to qualify for the state, his mark of 5' 'If' in the high jump during the PCA meet was tops for the year.
