20 THE SKETCH Ninth Grade Basketball Team Bottom Row-Robert McKee, Edwin Love, Paul Smith, Keith Heller. Top Row-Mr. Hubbard, Henry Dillon, Dayne Bonta, james Beekman, Frank Welch, Paul Cain, Bob Blacker, Roy Brock, student manager. This year Martin Boots completed one of the most successful basket- ball campaigns in its history. The boys' ability is shown in their record of ten won and five lost. The credit for this record should go to the coach, John Hubbard, who drilled the team, and shaped them into a well function- ed ball club. This team proved themselves so, when at mid-year they lost Bill Coffman, Ed Anderson, and Charles Inman, but continued in their winning way. This year, as last, it took the Blue and Gold cagers three games to take the city series. McCulloch winning the first 21-15 and Martin Boots coming back to win 36-15 and 24-15.
