She has always been willing to take the time to discuss our problems with us, and do the ut- most to find a solution. We feel that we are indeed leaving a true friend behind in Romu- lus High School. 2 S ..lL...

This year's team won only two games all season, but I am sure they will long be remembered for their courage and fighting spirit. One game the Eagles were very proud of was when they defeated their old rival, Belleville, Z0-O. The Reserves had a better season than the varsity. They won four out of six games which is a good season average.

Fight, team, fight! has been ringing in our ears since December 9 when we played Albion. Albion won by a 49-26 score. Then we came back to win against Bedford 55-28. We then defeated Wayne 25-15, in one of the most unusual games of the year. December 23, we dropped in on River Rouge and were handed a loss of 52-43. In our next game, we played Monroe C.C. We won 63-38 with Sid Daw- son's tally of 23 points which was the highest individual score of the year. Then we entertained Wayne at home, and gave them a trimming 41-32. The next game we played some of the best ball of the season. We defeated Melvindale, one of the better Class B teams, 51-45. Next came the first game with Detroit Catholic Central in which we were defeated in an overtime 46-41. We met our traditional rival, Belleville, and handed them a 46-38 loss. The following week, Garden City turned the tables 40-32. Rouge beat us for a second time by a score of 54- 32. Detroit Catholic Central also made it two in a row. When we met Ecorse, we were on the long end of a 46-38 score. However, the Belleville Tigers, in our last season game, took us 46-33. Following our last game, Romulus immediately started to practice for the District Tournament. Our practice paid off the first night by giving us a score of 41-32 over Milan. Belleville won over M.C.C., and that made them eligible to play Romulus for the championship. Our boys' fighting spirit and courage put us a jump over Belleville for a 55-50 win and the District Championship. Our high point man for the year was co-captain Eugene Kratt with a total of 157 points, not including the tournament. Duck McMann was second with 153 for the season. 48 RESERVE BASKETBALL P,-Jfhm SEATED, LEFT-T0 RIGHT: Larry Mainkg Tom Stillwageng Mitch Zeronag Don Kellar John Johnson Stuart Gross: 2nd Row: Mr. Pasternakg Roland Beanumg Ron Masong Tom Davis B111 Prout Mgr 3rd Row Bill Siebertg Fred Zakolskig Judson Durham: Jerry Prillg Sam Lewisg Bob Richardson Our Reserves fought valiantly for their Alma Mater this season but to no avail.

The Romulus Varsity Club was reorganized this year and went to work raising money to buy a movie camera. The camera is being used for taking pictures of the Eagle's games so that the coaches and players can analyze their play. The Club members sold programs before the basketball games and did very well financially. Late in March they sponsored an independent basketball tourna- ment. This tournament was organized by the Detroit Times and brought together some of the best independent teams in the area. The officers of the club are: David Anteau, Presidentg Bob Bird, Vice Presi- dent, Ronald Sandilands, Secretaryg Jim Liddle, Treasurerg Don McMann,Sergeant at arms. One of the main reasons for the success of this club is the hard work of Harold Cass, the adviser. 52 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS KNEELING LEFT TO RIGHT: Loretta Zaleski, Midge Falatine, Wanda Bower, Lynn Boelter.
