Curtis Krueger - Curtis, a freshman, showed that he had great potentiality for the years to come. He gained valuable experience this year, and he should be one of the top players on the future Northside basketball teams. Curtis was tall, and this was a great help to him. He handles the ball easily: the game seems to come more easily for Curtis than it does for other players. He showed a great improvement this year by improving more than any other player throughout the season. fl bl district championship, regional title try of Pat Olfers' jump shots, but Craig Mason thinks and acts quickly enough to get set to grab the ball and convert it into two points. A Floresville player partially blocks one 6 ' l Craig Mason shoots his fade away jump shot over a Floresville player for two points. Hank Cox and Wayne Benke get good positions for a rebound. Craig was very effective on this shot from the corner of the court. A player must have skill enough to hit the basket from al- most any point onthe court. The easier that you can fake your opponent, the better it will be for your team. An athletic banquet was held in the schoolcafetorium at the end of the year to honor all of the athletes and their fathers. The F. H. A. served a very luscious dinner to the hungry men, and then the boys entertained themselves with the toys that had been placed on the tables. Henry Howell, school board member and lover of athletics, was the Master of Ceremonies. Superintendent Murray Boone and Principal Homer Smith spoke briefly about the athletic program at Northside, and then Randy Clay of WOAI radio and television spoke on sports. The evening ended with the showing of acolor movie, HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 1958 SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE FOOTBALL SEASON.

The jumper must avoid hitting his opponent too.
