'55--BASKETBALL--'56 The 1955-56 basketball team coached by Mr. Fred Eberlein, ended the rugged season with four victorys and sixteen defeats. There were six seniors on the team leaving five very capable letrermen for next year with plenty of height. Myron Paisley, a senior, took scoring honor this year dumping in 291 points. Another senior, Harry Baker, playing guard scored 233 points. A junior, Jim Allen, playing forward and not far behind scored 195 points. Gary Olson, a senior scored 139 points. Kenny Pfaff, a senior who played a fine defensive game, scored 124 points. Two other seniors, who were good rebounders, Glen Kirchner and David Olson scored 61 and 19 respectively. Lou Enos, a big junior boy, who will be back next year, scored 101 points Two juniors Herb Davis and Steve Craig and a freshmen Earl Roberts, rounded out the first team. We also had other mentionables that helped a great deal this rough season. They included Bill Miller, Don Koss, Don Mahlum, Harold Welda, Sidney Welda, Wilfred Pfaff, and Doug Paisley, The team of the 1955-56 season wish to express their thanks to the ever-yelling cheerleaders, Elaine Craig, Mary Miller, Harriet Storandt, and Shirley Johnson. And last but not least, our two good managers Glen Simmonson, and Gordon Radcliffe. fun 1 J: .f ! ,f.5 71. I 41 'I , I 1' ,.. 1 ' ,I . f , .-,gf 4,51 , ,. . v .4 . L 5f,,f,fg, 4 ':- J. ,- f, ',..'
