28 O. H. S. SENIOR ANNUAL ATHLETICS 1944-45 The basketball record of the boys of the class of 1950 began in the Junior High. In the seventh grade, we already had a team. This year, the Junior High entered the first Graded School Tournament at Newport, with a team picked from the two classes consisting of Pete Dow, Ed Burdick, Dale Austin, Bud Kettle, Bill Lapierre and Ron Bowman. Bill and Ron took turns playing guard on the first ream. The boys were beaten in the first game with Newport West School by one point, 16-15. 1945-46 This year, with more experience, and again with Mr. Barton as coach and Forrest Emerson as student manager, the boys entered the second Newport Tour- ney. The first team was made up of Ed Burdick, Bud Kettle, Dale Austin, Ron Bowman, and Bill Lapierre. Substitutes from our class were Arthur Dow, Richard Glodgett, and Woody Herman. Remember the picture Mrs. Conly took of the first five in front of the post office just before the game? This year it was a different story. Orleans beat Island Pond in the first game, downed Sacred Heart, and went on to win over Newport West School, becoming the Champions of the 2nd Annual Graded School Tournament. Dale Austin, as right forward, Ed. Burdick, as center, and Bud Kettle, as left guard, were elected to the All-Tournament Team and were we proud! The championship trophy won by the boys was presented in Assembly to the school by Captain Bud Kettle. Shortly after this, the boys were given a banquet. The place cards were in the form of basketballs and said Orleans Junior- High Champions, 1946.” 1946- 47 In our Freshman year, the High School varsity basketball team was composed of Irvin Bennett, Bruce Bowman, Buster Perry, Rich Cloutier, and Bud Kettle, who played on the first five all season. Ed Burdick and Dale Austin also saw- plenty of action. Remember the time Ed as a sub saved the day for the team in the game with Island Pond, by making the baskets, tying the game, tying the over- time, and winning the sudden death period; and the write-up he got in the paper? Orleans was in the Northeastern Vermont Class B Tourney this year and Bud Kettle, as left guard, along with Bruce Bowman, a Senior at the time, was elected to the All-Tournament team. Orleans lost to Hardwick in the final game at this time. In March of this same year, our class team entered the Freshman Tourney at Hardwick, and lost by one point to People’s Academy in the semi-finals, 23-22. The first team was Dale Austin, Ed Burdick, Bud Kettle, Woody Herman, and Ron Bowman. Forrest Emerson was manager, and Mr. Barton coached the boys. 1947- 48 During our Sophomore year, the high school varsity team became Ikey Barney, Norm Cloutier, Bud Kettle, Dale Austin, and Ed Burdick.
