Bennie King. only a sophomore. played some very fine ball this year. Bennie plans to play football next year at Eastern High and to drop basketball, We are hoping that he will change his mind and play basketball also. King was a good reserve. Emmett Greer started the season on thc bench, but before the season was over, he had worked himself up to the first team. Although Greer scored but thirty-four points, he was a good rebounder. Only a sophomore. Greer was a good team player. Adrian Dickison. who was just a freshman this season. showed every possibility for 'i good player next season at Eastern High. Starting the season as a junior-varsity player. Adrian had worked his way up to the first ten players by tournament time. He didn't see too much action in the tourneys because of lack of experience. Bennie Rogers, who held high point honors for the team this year. with 274. was also a good defensive man. Rogers, the team's cap- tain, was the main factor in the team's reach- ing the regional tournament. We are sure Bennie, who is a senior. will do very well in college next year. Harold Dean Ramage. one of the youngest boys on the varsity team. ended the season with 105 points to his credit. A sophomore and a good player. Ramage was held back this year by lack of experience. but we are sure that he will do very well at Eastern High next year. Robert Barker, a six-foot senior, is the third tallest player on our team. He did not get many points, but we could always depend on Robert for a good defensive game. He had to miss a lot of practice because of high blood pressure. Robert scored twenty-eight points for the season. Only a sophomore. Edward Shackelford scored 160 points and was a constant threat to the opposition. Whitey missed two games because of an ear injury received in practice. He should play lots of ball next year at Eastern. William Clay. a 5'8 senior. made a fine showing for himself this year. Although Bill got but thirteen points. we could depend on him for some very fine ball handling. and he was a good set-up man for our plays. Jack Shelton. the only junior on the squad. played the whole season on the first five and scored 227 points. Shelton was an all-around man, starting the season as forward. later switching to guard. and sometimes playing center. Eastern High will have a good player in Shelton next year. Randall Harper. the tallest boy on the team. ended the season with a total of 229 points. good for second place scoring honors. One of the four seniors on the team. Harper has great ossibilities of becoming a good college player.

MARVIE JEAN LULA CAROLYN Cheerleaders are very important to any team. Our girls this year spent many hours in practice. They were at every game cheering to the final whistle and never giving up. Three of the girls. Viva Harper. Jean Barker. and Jean Stepp. returned to the squad: and Carolyn Branham and Lula Thomas were chosen by the student body to make the team of five girls. A short time before the season ended, Viva Harper was forced to give up cheerleading because of her health. She was replaced by Marvie Bloodworth. a member of the group last yea1'. It is hard to win a trophy the first time but even harder to win the same award two years straight. All during the season the girls were working toward one goal, being Cheer Champs of the 29th District. We knew they were good. but we didn'i know whether they were good enough to win against the stiff competition they had. They were not only good, they were the best and were selected again this year as the district champions. Nice going. girls. Sue Waldeck, Cheerleader Sponsor. HCHEER CHA IP U' JEAN
