FZ 'Thggzl 1f952q pmagiaian :J L...x Girls' Basketball When the season of 1931-32 began the team gave promise of a more successful season than in previous years. A word must be said about each individual member. Ruth Nelson and Eleanor Mellander in their positions, as forwards, con- tributed much to the success of the team. Ruth Nelson was unable to play in a number of games because of an injured knee. Her place was ably filled by Doris Mellander, and at times by Mildred Eckstrom. Our guards, Raf- ferty, Rich and Malmrose showed great ability in keeping the opponents from scoring many points. Challstrom at center and Betty Coon at side center constituted a center division which ranked with the best if not the best in the league. The subs must not be forgotten, Geraldine Lundberg, Geraldine Ordi- way, Doris lohnson, Marguerite Lanthier, and Susie Veroche were always ready to light for Mt. Iewett. ,f ,.i,,..., ,..Hv :Q ,I Us '- , Fifty . I I 5 I. 1 V

Forty Nine 1-J The 1952 Magi-ei-an Boys' lBc1slke1l:lbulllli Cscu. Cass GARELL Cese , like Strotman, did not start until after the season was well under way. Fortunately, unlike Strotman, he does not graduate but is a high hope for next year. He did some very outstanding work, starring in some of the games, and he deserves much credit. ELMER RED LARSON Well known by his tall frame and red hair, Red was a marked man. He played some good games at center during the first of the season but finally found his real place as a guard, at which position his speed and height enabled him to do some outstanding work. He is another high hope for next year. CARL CuLA BENSON Although this was Carl's first year, he proved to be an efficient man at both the guard and forward positions. His policy was to light hard from beginning to end. He will also be one of the hopes of next year's team. In addition to this list of lettermen, there are some others who did not obtain letters but did some good work and deserve to be mentioned. Lester Iohnson played a good game as a forward in a number of games and also played a good game at guard on different occasions. He did not make his letter, which is too bad for this is his last year. Nevertheless, we appreciate his effort and good work. Bill Malone is also another comer who played very well a number of times. He has two more years, and much is expected of him in the future. LaVern Carlson started the season as a regular, but as luck would have it, was taken seriously ill and could not finish the season. As he is only a Sophomore, much is expected of him in the next two years. Charles Sluga and George Iackson are two more Sophomores for whom we have much expectation. As we see, taking everything into consideration, the prospects for next year are not so bad after all. Last, but by no means least, is our coach, Mr. Hood, He was back of us all the time throughout the season, always confident that we would win the next one. We are certainly glad we did not disappoint him entirely because he worked faithfully and hard. When we take into consideration the material with which he had to work and the keenness of competition in Section Seven this year, we realize that he deserves much credit. - --G. A. D. 8 R. E.
