Thibault, D. Ledouxg K. Oleng R. Lane, M. Murphy. Looks good! As Gary Stitham explains to Maynard how Milford will end up in first place by lf 10 of a percentile, everyone else repeats the question: Did anyone forget their kneesocks? Pre-game conversation is limited: Lane tells one of his jokes, and Mitch explains the philosophy of Milford basketball to anyone who's within listening distance. Coach Rolly Hardwick enters, hands out live hundred sticks of gum, goes to the blackboard and waits for silence. All right, Olen, I want you handling the ball out front. Try to hit Shethar coming up to the post. Ledoux and Bishop . . . I want you two hitting the boards. Thibault, I want you to get yourself free in case Olen can't hit Shetharf' 25 seconds to go. Coach Hardwick is still trying to find his towel and Shethar is off in the corner doing his groin exercises. Spirits are high in post-game conversation for the team has registered another victory. In anticipating another Superman series, Lane continues telling jokes and Mitch spouts forth his new philosophy. Thibault is smiling at his good luck charm and Art is delicately powdering his feet. Coach Hardwick is congratulating everyone with a glint of joy in his eye, an eager look, a look that carried the team to the top of the Central I League with a 14 and 4 record.

The forma- tion of a freshman squad within the team provided plenty of knowledge and experience for its members. jim Raymond was the team's leaping center. Al- though always bruised and taped, he served as a good core to work around. Some unexplainable sit- uations highlighted the season as an inactive list was drawn up, and manager Dennis Sears convinced Exeter scoring unit that jim Raymond had two fouls at halftime instead of three. The JV's finished a 12 and 6 season with the promise of a tough- rebounding future varsity squad. ffonly five more .
