9756 Oak Leaves, 1937 o Oakjfeld High School Leslie Senk: He's a plucky little guard, even though he lacks height and weight. Les can be depended upon to guard the fast little forwards, and we expect even more of him next year. john Hoppe: ln his first year on the squad we expected Iohn to be a good sub, but his determination won a regular berth as forward for him. He was an inspirational worker at practice sessoins. Roland Uecker: Uecker a Iunior, gave the opponents few opportunities tc get rebound shots because of his ability to snare the ball off the opponents' backboard. He also made the second all-tournament team and it's too bad he had to leave school this spring. Alvin Schmidtz Schmitty has plenty of ability, but lacks the size. It takes more than five men to make a good team, however, and Coach Heimerl did not have to hesitate to make a substitute with Alvin at his side. Warren Erdmann: Only a Freshie but he'll be in there next year. You can't keep a fellow down who works as hard as he did this season. Clinton Censky: The Baron, a Sophomore, has a left hand that may get going in another year. He deserves a pat on the back for his faithfulness. Lloyd Anderson: He has the size and with his ability, he can fill Kottke's boots at center next season if he works hard. C'mon, Andy, let's see you come through. Our story is only half told so far. The other half of it lies in the spirit and drive of our Coach Heimerl. Each game was played for him or Gordy and he was one of the few who had any hopes of a good team at the start of the season. The hard work and cooperation of the squad with their coach resulted in a team that grew more popular, amongst the fans with every game they played. Oakfield was a title threat all through the season which speaks very well for Coach Heimerl. The season was a greater success financially than was our championship year of 1935-6. The team won third place in the T.C. l.A.A. and gave a good account of themselves in the Class C tournament at Iuneau. THE INTERCLASS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT Continuing an old tradition we had an lnterclass Basketball Tournament for both the boys and girls during the week of March 8 to 12. The Iunior boys and the Senoir girls turned out to be the Champions this year.
