Ho was a capable substitute at ei- ther tho guard or forward position, Frank is u junior and will bo around for next year's team. BOB HAYDEN Bob's height mado him a valuable replacement at the center slot. Although he saw limited action on the varsity, ho was always there to help out in an emergency. Bob is a sonior. GEORGE KNIGHT Georgo, a 5' 10 sonior, playod guard on tho reservo five and was one of the leading scorers on the second team. His hard playing and good shooting will be missed next year. BRUCE LOAR Bruco, tho varsity's 6 center, has proved to bo a valuable all-round player, whother it was in helping to bring the ball down, getting rebounds off tho backboard, or sinking his favorito hook-shot. Bruce has shown his ability as a fino baskut ball player. He is a senior. TOM ONWELLER Tom, a forward and tho only junior on the first five, proved himself to bo a big assot for next year's toam. Tom stands 6' tall and played his best under tho baskot. He also could scoro with a hook-shot which he could shoot with oither hand. CLETUS ZENK Clotus was tho loading scorer for the toam with 316 points. Ho v as hard to stop under tho baskot, and was a dead shot from tho side. Clot is a six footer, and got many rebounds from both baskets. This i3 his last year of basket boll. JOHN HARTELL John played guard on tho varsity five and was noted for his ability to sink long shots when they wore noedod. Ho also was a good defensive player and will be missed next year. John stands 5' 11 tall. JOE NYKOBYM Captain Joo's scrappy play helped him to bo ono of the lead- ing scorers of the toam. Hi3 3pcod and good ball hundling helped him to work tho fast break. Joe was also deadly with long shots from his guard position. Ho stands 5 7 and is a sonior. JOE SULLIVAN Joe proved to be an able replacement at any position on the team. His height helpod him to recover many rebounds, and also to score from under the baskot. Joo has ono more year of baskot boll and should bo a voluablo player on next year's toam.

SENIOR BAND OPERETTA TRIAL BY JURY TRIAL BY JURY By Gilbert and Sullivan Directed by Miss Edith Walterschiod Trial by Jury , a one-act operetta, was presented by the Metamora High School Mixed Chorus on November 25, The people who had the leading parts were as follows: The Learned Judge---------------------------------Robert Gian� The Plaintiff (Angelina)----------------- Kitty Langenderfer The Defendent (Edwin)----------------- Richard Van Valkenburg The Counsel for the Plaintiff-------------------Joe Nykodym The Usher-----------------------------------------Larry Lulfs Foremen of the Jury-----------------------------Robert Hayden Lee Taylor Bridesmaids---------------------------------------Sylvia Herr Joyce Smith, Peggy Baker, Vivian Welch, Laura Lou Champion, Shirley Loar, Marie Victor, Katherine Riesz. Also, there were Gentlemen of the Jury, Barristers, Attorneys, and the Public, This is a brief summary of the operetta, Edwin, tiring of his sweetheart Angelina, falls in love with another; and Angelina accordingly hails him into court for breach of promise. At the rise of the curtain, the ush- er, while enjoining impartiality on the Jurymen, shows a definite partiality himself for the fair Plaintiff. Edwin explains that he simply happened to fall in love with another girl. Though both Jury and Judge indicate that they have similar episodes in their own past, they have little sym- pathy for him. After the Jury is sworn in, Angelina appears and immediately captivates all the men present. Her lawyer gives a stirring speech, and she falls sobbing on his breast, Edwin proposes various solutions, but in vain. He offers to marry her if he may marry his other sweetheart later, but her lawyer objects. Edwin tries to dissuade her from want- ing to marry him at all, saying that when he is drunk he would beat her. The Judge proposes that Edwin be made drunk to see whothor he would, but her lawyer objects. Finally tho Judge, disgusted at tho objections, and oagor to get away marries Angelina himself.
