'Our Boys' Basketball Squad The success of the boys' basketball team was one of the pleasant surprises of the school year. Lacking height and experience, Fewgtans were optimistic enough to predict the l8-7 won-lost record the boys compiled. They added the Keokuk County Tournament and the Sectional at Fairfield to their laurels. Their style of play was polished and pleasing to watch and their hustle and initiative won them many loyal supporters . Ronnie Hahn and Charles Peterson, both seniors, were elected co-captains at the close of the season. Sixteen of the boys pictured below are eligible for competition next year.
