'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.

Uur Girls' Basketball Squad The Tigerettes fielded the youngest and most inex- perienced team in years, with all six starters of the previous year lost by graduation . The opening line-up often con- tained three freshmen, and sophomores figured prominently in the season's play. The Fact that they won twelve games while losing eleven augurs well For prospects next season. The girls played in the County Tournament at Hedrick and the Sectional at North English and all visited the State Tournament at the close of the season .
