VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Left to right, Kneeling: Val Soller, Peggy Quinn, Diane Gilbertson, Peggy Loggins, Sharon Quinn. Back row: Kathy Hodges, Joanne Westfall, Coach Marcia Rouse, Sharon Thompson, Lana Jones. When it comes to scoring with high iumping and narrow squeezing, Mission's got it. The Pio- neers play with the agility and ease of profes- sionals and the spirit and enthusiasm for which they are known. The 'first varsity basketball league win was the victory over the Lancers of Bishop Amat which gave a hint of things to come. St. Paul's was the next to feel the power- ful force of the Pioneers. The third game fol- lowed the same pattern with the Pioneers down- ing Queen of Angels by a score of 38-23. Bish- op Amat's Lancers came back a second time only to lose by a margin of 27 points. Only one de- feat blotted the Pioneers' record and that was in the play-off game with Queen of Angels. The final outcome saw the Pioneers as runners-up in their league and you can be sure all Mission- ites point with pride to the Varsity hoopsters. HWMPW FFPWH
