MCCLUREAN VARSITY PLAYERS Robert Farison- Fairy was the captain for this year. He was all over the floor and played a good defensive and offensive game. He always kept calm and came through when we were in tight places. He held the guard position. Robert Ballmer- Bob played a good game all year and never gave up. He played at forward and was one of the big helps on the scoring. He played a great defensive game. He is only a Sophomore and he will be a big help for the next two years. Eldon Alspaugh- Eldie played at guard position. Although he wasn't so fast he still helped out with his long shots and good pass work. Galen Houser- Hub was the high point man for the year and could put the ball in from any place on the floor. He played forward and was good at breaking up plays and going in for sucker shots. Being only a Sophomore, he will be a valuable player for two more years. Ralph Knepley- Buck played center this year and although he did not help on the scoring so much, he helped feed the boys who did do the scoring. He played a great defensive game all through the year and got the ball off the back board. He will be missed next year. Murrel Allen- Frankie is small but mighty. He was the boy who saw a lot of action. He had to play both Varsity and Reserve games many times. He played guard or forward and handled either position very well. He will be a big help for next year's team. Robert McClure- Bob is a Senior. He played the center or guard position very well. He will be missed for next year's team. Richard Baker- Dick is another Senior who will be missed next year. He played at forward position and helped out a lot in the tight places. Bud Connolly- Bud played forward position and was a big help this year and will be for two more years. He is a good shot and plays a good floor game.

They chose their officers as follows: Lois Miller, president: Joyce Brown, vice-president: Marilyn Reid, secretary: Mary Lou Mills, treasurer: with Evelyn Kramer as pianist. The girls presented several numbers for the Thanksgiving concert, Christmas program, Spring concert, McClure Elevator Meeting, Farmers' Institute, and the Mid- Winter concert at Napoleon. On March 31, a group from the club participated in the Henry County Music Festival at Holgate. Now as we seniors are about to leave the school, we wish to thank Miss Hibler for her efforts to make us more musical. Seventh and Eighth Grade Chorus The seventh and eighth grade chorus was organized this year with an enrollment of 38. They sang for the Christmas program, P.T.A. meetings, and also for their local entertainment. We feel that they have achieved much on their road to success.
