Basketball Flrsi row: Gene McDaniel, I-'rank Barron, Nick Basile. Dick Fulkenon. Bob Woodward. Don Ethrldge. Manager freeman Stlckney. Second row: Coach Davis, Don Whited, Bill Burkett, Sld Beauregard. Marvin Keller. Bill and. The Trojans as a team accomplished two outstanding feats. Coach Eugene Davis led the basketballers to a winning season and a second place linish in the BCL, establishing this squad as one of the outstanding teams in Monroe's history. Dick Fulkerson, who captained the team and was named most valuable, broke his own season scoring record by swishing 234 points through the nets. Dick also set a high school record of 507 points. To add to his honors, Fulkerson was chosen to the All-State third team. The other members proved to be outstanding either defensively or offensively. Sid Beauregard controlled the backboards well all year. Barney Kaiser found the range at midseason and hit the hoop consistently throughout the remaining games. Frank Barron and Gene McDaniel were instrumental in working the ball in, and both played excellent defensive games. Part of the team's success was due to greater reserve strength. Second team members could be used more than in previous seasons. Bill Land, Don Whited, Don Ethridge, Bill Burkett, Bob Woodward and Nick Basile all had their moments of glory. Exciting Trojan victories were: the Wyandotte game, when Gene McDaniel's two free throws gave Monroe a 36-34 victory, the game in which the cagers slipped by Highland Park 41-40 with all the players making a good showingg and Bob Wood- ward's sparking the team to victory over Fordson 35-29 in his first varsity game. Varsity letters were awarded to Dick Fulkerson, Frank Barron, Bill Land, Sid Beauregard, Marvin Kaiser, Don Whited, Don Ethridge, Bill Burkett, Bob Wood- ward, Nick Basile and Gene McDaniel. -41-

The chief accomplish- ment was the joint purchase of two popcorn machines in union with the Student Council. The sale of popcorn, candy and programs at the basketball games aided in boosting the treasury. The sale of pins during football season was another club project. The members found a very suitable method of disposing of some of their hard earned cash. In the future the club will give a block M to all first time letter winners. The hilarious contests of swimmers versus cagers, sponsored by the M Club, were two comedies of thrills. The Davis team was victorious in the cage contest in spite of their great handicap-boxing gloves were worn. The Waters team won in the pool. To even this contest the swimmers wore sweatshirts and overalls. The highlight of the swimming meet was the diving Cexcuse me, this event is better known as the comedy of errorsj. The result was a six-way tie for first place. The credit for the cl'ub's success lies in the cooperation the officers received from all of the members. Everyone aided in the sale of pins and in numerous other activi- ties. The ofiiccrs were: Bill Burkett, president, Marvin Kaiser, vice-president: and Dale Hoppert, secretary-treasurer. The sponsor of the M Club is the originator of the organization, Mr. B. M. Hcllenberg. First row: Jim Moody, Bud Reigle, Bobby Watkins, Wilburn Sutton. Mark Sisinyak, Tom Yinger. Doug Spencer.
