The coach, Mr. Murray, and the managers pose with the varsity. Only three seniors will be leaving this year, so 1959 should be . . . . . . h Ch ' h' T f N th J . Ability, loyalty, splrlt, and sportsmanship are the doml- t e amplons 1p Cam 0 0r ersey nant qualities of Our Lady of the Valleyls Golden Knights. These traits manifest themselves in the way which the boys, instructed by their new coach, Mr. Murray, meet each new opponent, battle for possession of the ball, and sink their shots even down to the last fleeting seconds of the game. These boys play for the team and for their school and not for the honor and glory of the individual. The words of the TEAM CHEER, which echo through the gymnasium during our basketball games, seem to express the feelings of all those who watch the Golden Knights in action. WHETHER WE WIN OR WHETHER WE LOSE, HERBS A CHEER WElLL ALWAYS USE, TeEeAeMe, Yeh! Team! All the students are familiar with this pose of Captain Mike Connolly. It means death to the opposing team. i g E Without the loyal support of this peppy group, where would you be, boys?

Although many times their prayers are in vain, the boys know that the prayer did help them to accept the defeat . . . and prove that the game was a MORAL victory.
