SOPHOMORES The Sophomores started the year with a bang. In October they decorated the gym for the Halloween party and made programs for the St. Patrick Day Dance sponsored by the Student Council. To add money to their treasury they sponsored bake sales and collected sales stamps. They were guided through this successful year by Dean Scully, president; Barbara Kaiser, vice president; Shirley Blood, secretary; and Gertrude Shumake, treasurer. They sponsored a skating party for the high school— the first one to be held for a long time—which was a great success. 22

The Viking quintet kept up the Rowe tradition of a spirited, well-coached basketball team, by winning 19 out of 22 games. Their defensive play was outstanding in that it held its worthy opposition to a 24.5 average per game, the lowest in the history of the school, while themselves rolling pp an average of 39.5 points per game. The starting lineup consisted of tour juniors and one senior plus several freshmen and sophomore prospects. Their excellent play revealed bright prospects for next year. The only two league losses came at the hands of Edgewood and North Kingsville, the latter went on to take the championship. Both losses were by close scores. In the tourney the Vikings showed their class by winning five straight games to take the coveted trophy. They gained it by defeating Colebrook, Pierpont, Edgewood, Orwell and overpowering the strong North Kingsville quintet in the finals. Thereby they qualified for the Orange sectionals. In the first game there with dark-horse Geneva, the hard-playing Rowe boys ran into some tough luck and were finally defeated 33-25. Duane Wheeler led the scoring for the year with 192 and was followed by another junior, Fred Hirsimaki, with 179; Wiley placed third with 104. Lettermen for the season were Duane Wheeler, Richard Wheeler, Fred Hirsimaki, David Jacobs, Robert Puffer, John Holdson, Dick Springer, James Walters, Richard Taylor, and Harold Wiley. The strong Viking Reserves, winners of 11 out of 13 games, give promise of strong teams in the future. Scoring was led by Charles Sippola, a junior. Thus Charles Hirshey, Rowe’s capable coach, ended another successful season. In the past four seasons, Rowe has won 72 and lost 15 games, scoring 3440 points to their opponents’ 2351.
