LAWRENCE RAYMOND RlESENBERG RIESENBE RG writ? DAVID PHILIP RICHARD No, it's not a garter strap. ROSSEIOT ROTH RUFFO One sport Moeller had never been particularly strong in was basketball. We never seemed to find the right combination of spirit and talent to finish with a highly successful season. But the 67-68 season was to prove different. Sparkplugged by its senior members, the varsity basketball team reeled off Victory after Victory in the early part of the season. The spirit, however, for some reason dropped off quite rapidly after a loss that ended the early Victory streak. Though it seemed as if this problem might prove to be serious, it did not last very long. Pi Epsilon Pi, the senior pep club, was formed. Backed by this organization, composed of members of the Class of '68, and the student body that rallied around it, the basketball team proceeded to battle its way to a strong second place in the GCL. The team then went all the way to the semi-finals before they were eliminated and the season was ended. With an overall record of 18 wins and 4 losses the Moeller varsity team compiled the best rec- ord in Moeller history. But the success of the basketball team was not the only important out- come of the basketball season. The 18 and 4 record marked not only Victory for the team but also for the class of '68. Our class had instilled in the student body of Moeller, for the first time, a really sound backing of the basketball team. The result was evident. It was the same pioneering senior class who suggested and presented the first basketball home- coming in our school's history. The homecoming included a semi-formal dance which was held in the cafeteria after the homecoming game. The basketball season was over. A success in many ways, it had marked a turning point in Moeller history. And with its termination the student body began the spring portion of the school year. 56
