VARSITY First Row: Edward Polmcr Carl Torch Vaughn Johnson Royslcr Whiting Ccn Johnson Zc ond Row: Coach Hawkins Maynard Whiting Richard Cone Lowell Morrow Cdmon Taft Jack Compton, manager Basketball This year, for the first time in several years, Perry High School was represented by a winning basketball team. The players, although lacking in height, played an aggressive , type of ball which won them many games. The Pirates were led by the inspiring type of play exhibited by Vaughn Johnson, captain, who played guard. At the other guard position was stationed Ed Palmer, who was a steadying influence on the team throughout the season. At the forward positions were sharp shooting Carl Torch, and Royster Whiting, the spear-head of the Pirates' fine passing attack. Coach Hawkins was indeed fortunate in having two very capable centers, Lowell Morrow and Ben Johnson. Morrow, whose specialty was under-the-basket shots, led the team in scoring while Johnson, a wizard on pivot shots with either hand, excelled on defense.
