-- lllPlll'l.EllilU ..-.. --l-.'--'- Basketball 1950-51 Basketball began in October with a new coach and a team with new eagerness and determination. With the cooperation of ' the team and Coach Earl Benoche, we achieved a record of eleven Wins and fourteen losses, which was a distinct improvement over the last several years. The first team consisted of Bob Boyd, Eugene Porter and Carnie Shaw from last year's varsity team, Johnny Hammond from last year's junior varsity, and Parmley Weir, a transfer student from Marion, Ill. Others who made the squad were Clarence Manker, Charles Willis, Gerald Paquette, Howard Potts, Darrell Shonkwiler, Melvin Singleman, Billy Shonkwiler, Joe Hodge and Paul Feldsien, Jr. The second team consisted of Gerald Paquette, Clarence Manker, Joe Hodge, Melvin Singleman, Billy Shonkwiler, Larry Crouse, Jerry Jarvis, Francis Buck, James Rilott, Robert Miller, Gerald Benge, Darrell Shonk- Wiler, Robert Erickson and Jack Cooper. These boys will be the stars of tomorrow. This year we won our first trophy since 1934 when we placed second in the Gardner Holiday Tournament.
