We no longer had the same status as we had had in the eighth gradeg we were just lowly Freshmen. But all bad things must come to an end sometime as we found out when school started again next year and we were then Sophomores. That year and the next passed during which many of our class- mates left and many others were addedg but evidently more left us than joined us, as we had 52 members in '49 and we now have 32. Yes, we are now Seniors and for many of us, our school life will soon be ended. But our four years in high school will always be a pleasant memory and the knowledge which we have gained a useful help in the years to come.

They came within an eyelash of finishing the season undefeated. Their inter-scholastic record was 14 games won com- pared with only 2 defeats. They won their first 14 games before dropping two close ones to Carver and Phoenix Indians. Forward Greg Burgoz was the team Captain and he led the scorers witha 15 point average. sharpshooting Richard Vanegas capably filled the other forward slot.. Wayne Chastain played the Center position, and would cleanly outjump taller opponents. Timothy Alcaida was very adept at handling the ball and he was a dan- gerous long shot. Guard Adrian Fisher was especially noted for his hook shot and when he was hot no one could stop him. The graduation depleted varsity will be glad to see Coach Laugh1in's hot-shots move up to fill the vacancies next year. . .

They de- feated Buckeye, Conference champs, and lost to Scottsdale and Ajo. They also defeated Wickenburg Cnon-conferencel, Carver, Peoria, Gila Bend, Litchfield Park, and Tolleson.
