In the absence of Mr. Jesko, Mr. Van Bremen started the season as coach. During his period as coach our team had a record of nine Wins and one loss. Mr. Jesko rejoined us the second half of the season. The team under him had a record of seven wins and Five losses. Marion and Rostraver tied for Section XVI honors. A playoff game was arranged and played at Donora. Rostraver proved to be too much for our team, but they went down fighting. The final score was Rostraver 41, Marion 29. Joe Susick, co-captain, led the Generals5' in scoring this year. He had a grand total of 250 points in 21 games. .loe's superb ball handling proved to be a major factor lll the record of our team this year. Marion will lose four boys through graduation this year. They are: Joe Susick and Bert Osborne, CO-C2lpt2l1l1S, Charles Miller and Paul Nagy. The absence of these boys from next year's team will be felt considerably. In post season contests the Generals,' copped the Fayette County Class B undergrad crown. These undergraduates will comprise next year's team. 60
