You must be informed that two of the losses were to Old Town, a school many times the size of Orono. I I1 one of these encounters Orono stayed within four points until the last minute of play. The final score stood, Old Town 72 and Orono 64. That still leaves two losses unac- counted for. They were in the first three games of the season. Orono could blame these on the fact that Coach Folsom had not firmly imbedded his methods in the team but Bar Harbor and Lincoln earned the wins. first three games Orono rolled on unheeded with the exception of Old Town.

BACK ROW: Coach Fol- som, Gary Goodin, Frank Beyer, Don Piper, James Abbott, Ross Wyman, Tom Gibbs, Dave Adams, Bill Bridges, Mgr. In the fall of 1953, a new coach joined the faculty of Orono High. Coach Folsom did not have too much material left over from last season. There were three lettermen: Bill Busching, Ray Dall, and Art Parlin. The fourth man was Ronnie Waddell. Fol- som took these four men and the nucleus from last year's great J, V, team and began to build a club. When the last points were totaled and the last gym swept out, it proved to be an outstanding club. The regular season ended with the Riots posting a 12-4 record for their efforts.
