22 New Milford High School BOYS’ ATHLETICS I he New Milford High School Basketball team had a fairly successful season, winning ten out of the seventeen games played. The team was seriously handi-cacapped at the beginning of the season due to the sickness of Thomas Leahey and Donald Warner, through appendicitis. These two hoys came hack after the Christmas holidays and added strength to the team. The changing of “Hal” Straub to guard and Millard Dorwin to center also strengthened the team. The players on the team are. Straub, Kuhne, Leahey, Dorwin, Roscoe. Warner, Kibbe, Peagler, Kwasniewski, Tanner, and Lane. Through graduation we lose, Lea hey, Straub and Kuhne, therefore the boys should have a strong team next year.
