Varsity Basketball The l'i-nnridge llams had an extremely siieeessfiil season sinee they plaeed seeond in the league. They were favored to win the ehampionship: so they eonslantly played under pressure. They failed to win the ehampionship, but the team upheld the name of Peunridge. The team showed true sportsmanship and the school eau be proud of them. This year's team was made up almost ent irely of seniors, and they will be missed next year. The two under:-lassinen on the varsity, phis a good Jayvee squad, should make up the nur-lens for next year's team. Individual honors were gained by John f'routhamel who made first team All-Bux- Mont, and Ken llendrieks and Barry Thomas, who made honorable mention. l'runr1'1lge Oppon 38 Allentown 68 Upper Perkiomen 63 Quakertown 45 Alumni 68 North Penn 65 Ambler 51 Upper Moreland 68 C1-ntral Bucks 94 Souderton 50 Springfield 54- Hatboro 54 Upper Perkiomen 52 Quakertown 44 North Penn 56 Ambler 68 Upper Moreland 58 Ventral Bucks 72 Souderton 80 Springfield 55 llatboro Playryf 38 North Penn cnt 67 49 56 48 57 32 56 64 62 49 50 42 55 57 35 50 60 35 62 53 42 Ken llendrieks, r'o-rripfuin Buffy Thlllllasl l'0'CUP'U7'7l l ff QNX?-ff-llijkif xt, 12 it 7 Kneeling: R.

Shoudt Junior Varsity Basketball The Pennridge Junior Rams started the season off with many inexperienced fel- lows. Many of the fellows had played no basketball at all. However, their eoaeh, Bud Ilollenbaeh, worked long and hard with them, and by the end of the season, they were beginning to look like a good basketball team. They were helped tre- mendously by four fellows who came down from the varsity squad, namely, John llufe, Scott Strouse, and Bob llun- sieker and Ronnie Moyer. The team had plenty of spirit, drive, and hustle. These three things helped them from having a very poor season. Next year as the J.V.'s progress to the varsity squad, big things will be expected from them. There is no reason that these fellows cannot fill these expectations.

Girls' Basketball By working hard throughout the season, the girls, var- sity came out on top again. In the last three seasons the girls were champions twice and co-champs once. Out of six games, this year, five were victories and one was a tie. With only a few games on the schedule, the girls could not aHord to have any losses. Keen competition brought out the girls, skills and made the games exciting up to the final buzzer. Forwards and guards alike did a splendid job. Teamwork was definitely an aid toward victory. The Yarsity's capable and helpful coach, bliss Kranier, diilnlt allow the winning spirit to die. Follow- ing ber instructions and examples the girls' chances for victory were increased.
