Mason High School - Anchora Yearbook (Mason, MI)

Throughout the year the scoring burden was carried mostly by Paul DeRose, center for the Maroons. Others who shared the high scoring honors were Bill Bergin, Bernard Fancher, Raymond Heincelrnan, lim Young. Harry Michitsch, who took Fred Silsby's position when Fred was forced to quit basketball because of an injury, has improved greatly this year and will prove the main cog in the Maroon lineup in the years to come. Mason will be greatly weakened through graduation as all but three members of the team are seniors. The senior members are Paul DeRose, Robert lnghram, Bernard Fancher, Raymond Heincelman, lim Davis, Wallace Bailey, and lim Young. Some fine-looking prospects coming up from the second team are Mike Simone, Ross Hilliard, David Swearingen, Robert Marshall, and Maurice Bailey. These boys have an excellent change to become regulars next year and if they work hard will become Mason's future stars. Captain Paul DeRose 23

Nttd wwf E-font Basketball O This year's basketball team completed the season with the record of four defeats against ten victories and finished second in the conference standings. This season's campaign could not be called successful because there was nothing accom- plished. The games which were Won were games which should have been won and the games lost were games which would have accomplished something if they had been won. In the district tournament, Mason was again eliminated by the smooth-working St. Mary's team after winning from Haslett the night before. The Maroons were expected to go places in the state tournaments but did not live up to the expecta- tions. 22 C3 I - HAXOY 9. Le XX H' '5we'WuQQD' D 'YN

Baseball O As is the custom, the Anchora is sent to press at about the same time baseball season opens and little can be said as to the shaping of the team. There are many important positions to be filled which were left vacant as the result of graduation. However, many candi- dates have turned out for these open positions and we are sure there is sufficient material to fill them. The loss of Harry Michitsch, reliable hitter and fast fielding second baseman, through injury is the first bad break to befall the Maroons. This misfortune will weaken the team's prowess at the plate for there are not many consistent hitters on the team. The returning veteran lettermen this year are Raymond Heincelman, Fred Silsby, Paul DeRose, Richard Brown and Duane Evans. Other veterans who were not letter winners are Don Lee, Richard Wolf, Gene Anderson, Bill Bergin, and Robert Colby. The batteries this year will consist of DeRose and Anderson, pitchers, with Don Lee and Mike Simone on the receiving end. ln the last few years, Mason has had winning baseball teams, and, barring unforeseen bad breaks, the Maroons will continue to win this year.
