EllllS' Hlilllll-illl This year saw another good season for the Trojanettes, A large per cent of the squad was made up of freshmen, but they proved to be not so green as the season progressed. A new batch of suits came on to the floor for the first game. They are Chartreuse with purple trim, but were called everything from green to gold by refs who obviously weren't up on the latest color fashions. These suits proved to be pretty flashy, especially when they got on the same floor with Holstein's pink. The Trojanettes, along with the Trojans, had a large following this season. Their games proved of interest to fans and parents alike. Having advanced to the final round of the sectional tournament at Schleswig, they were spurred on by a lot of Odebolt fans standing around the edge of the floor watching as they were taken out of the running by Charter Oak. Four seniors are leaving the squad this year. These girls will be missed both on offense and de- fense. But the team and fans can look forward ta a good season next year, which, they hope, will make it number three in a series of the best girls' basketball seasons here for quite a few years.

NEIL SCHROEDER End-Senior Neil stayed in the buggy and waited for his chance to make good. He showed well in each game he entered and he will never regret the effort he pul forth for the good of the team. DON GUNDERSON Center-Senior Don handled the ball more than any other sauad member. In the task of getting the ball to the quarterback, halfback, or kicker, and keeping out an eager opponent at practically the some time, we never lost the ball because of a bad pass from center. His work from backer-up soot on defense was a big factor in keeping the scores of the opponents so low. DICK TAYLOR Guard--Senior Not enough can be said about the dogged determination and fine team spirit displayed by Dick on the practice field as well as throughout each game. It was hard work, pounding open those holes in the heat, and cold, and mud, but Dick, it seemed, loved every minute of it. CLETUS WINGERT Tackle-Senior There was depth in the tackle positions this year and Cletus was one of the four mainstays. He kept battling for a top position on the team and made those ahead of him stay on their toes for fear of being beaten out of a position. JIM HESS Guard-Senior Jim Hess, the redheaded ter- ror, was considered the most steady player of the squad. As one of the goal-dust twins- he and Dick Taylor-Jim stav- ed off many vital trys for short yardage. Played a bang-up game all season and will be hard to replace. DICK SWANSON Fullbock-Senior Dick used his speed to good advantage. He was never caught from behind, but was tripped up a number of times trying to run over a would-be tackler. The nipper was calm and collected and when- ever the quarterback wqs pon- dering over the play situation Dick had the answer, Give me the ball-32 slant. LAVERN HARADON Tackle-Senior 1 LaVern played mostly at the defensive left tackle spot and knew the offensive plays from the right side of the line. There was confusion at times, in the beginning of the season, when he was left in at left tackle and we got control of the ball. lt didn't bother La- Vern too much though. He could bowl them over on of- fense as easily as on defense. JERRY REYNOLDS Tackle-Junior was the surprise product of this year's team. He was first to get the iob of fillnq the only vacant spot Tn a re- turning veteran line. He took his job seriously and never re- linquished his position.

Ruth could always be de- pended upon to get the job done. JANET OGDEN Junior Held the steadying hand in the offensive court. With her fak- ing, passing ability and shooting accura:y she displayed champ- ionship form in every game in which she participated. SHIRLEY ALBRECHT, Sophomore Guard. A bear-cat on defense. Shirley made the difference in many contests. She could always be depended upon to bring that ball to the line. JEAN STOCK, Freshman Forward. Started the year at guard but we found it necessary to move her T7 the forward court to have a well bal- anced scoring attack. She displayed na- tural ability at nivot with an assortment of back shots. The experience this year should prove invaluable in following years. NANCY SCOTT, Freshman Guard, forward. Nancy is a quick ag- gressive guard, a steady ball player. Against Arthur, Nancy had a blanket around High-Scoring Teghtmeyer. She has also proven she can play forward. PAGE FORTY-SEVEN
