P... . M ..- White Love Mr. Shoemaker-flVIerle5, has been tutoring the Pacers for three years. Although he did not have too much success until near the end of the year, he is very hopeful about next season. We hope he will be coaching the Pacers again next year. Page twentyffowr Rogers Everhart Cain PElIEH'S Donald White--tDonnie'l, a senior, has been with the team three years. He is one of the Pacer's chief point getters, and his longs have sent the score up many a time. Donald also won the trophy for good sportsmanship in the four-team tourney. Dick Love-lDickl, a senior. has been with the team for three years. Dick is a goozl man on defense and is always in there fighting to get the ball and to keep it. .lcsse Rogers--Llessel, a junior, is serving his first year with the Pacers. An ex- cellent ball handler, Jesse goes in when they need someone to turn the tide. Bill Everhart-lBilll, is a sophomore. This is his first year on the team. His clever ball handling and his fine shooting have mnde him a valuable player. Although Bill is little, he's mighty. Charles Cain'-ICharliel, a junior. has been with the team for two years. Charlie was the Pacers, tall man and did much of the rebounding. He also was one of the high scorers of the county. THE INDIANIAN
