The fact that in pre-league games Santiago defeated three teams which later went on to represent their leagues in CIF indicates the strength of our team. According to Coach Heusser, the team's best games were the first two played against Rancho Alamitos. Rancho had one of the strongest teams in CIF. Although Santiago was defeated in these games against Rancho, the scores were very close until the last few moments of play. Chosen as most valuable player by his team- mates was Ron Malmquist. Bob I-Iarries was voted most improved.

eams Have Llnsuccessful Season This year, perhaps more than any year before, the spirit of Santiago came through. After winning the Crestview League Crown in football, and defeating all opponents in cross country, our Cavalier teams went into basketball only to suffer many losses and dis- appointments. Our promise of more support for next year's teams and the promise of the coaches for stronger and better teams, add up to only one thing-we must persist! Each year we are becoming more and more the school that we would like to be. As we look toward the future for success, we must forget the defeats of the past. The game is started. jeff Corson makes an easy two points.

They finished the season with thirteen wins and twelve losses, play- ing their best games against Rancho Alamitos and Westminster. Some of the outstanding players on the junior varsity team this year were: Rod Sweet, voted the junior co-player of the Garden Grove tournament by opposing coaches, Bob Harries, voted first team co-player of the Garden Grove tournament by opposing coaches, and Mike German, voted by his teammates as the team's most valuable player.
