We would like to remind all of you sophomores to go to the book store and measure for your caps and gowns before it is too late. This year, there are a couple of additions being made to the traditions associated with graduation. The tassles for the caps will represent the degree with which you gradu- ated. The colors used will be green, white, and gold to re- present the three degrees issued here. Also, all honor stu- dents will be given a special stole to wear with their gowns. These will be provided by the school. Toward the middle of March, petitions for office in the Student Government will be accepted. A deadline has not yet been set. Both senatorial and executive seats will be open in the upcoming election. There are several advantages to being a member of S.G.A.

The college select ensemble, Our Gang , gave a smashing choral performance that was loudly applauded by all who attended. The evening was extremely enjoyable and it was certainly very successful. On February 24, the homecoming ceremonies were held with the crowning of the queen and her attendants. The queen-elect was Teresa Taber. The attendants were Debbie Batt, Susan Carlile, and Marci Lee. Afterward, a dance was held, at the high school cafeteria featuring Big Bertha . It was well attended and it was very entertaining.

Soinis defeat Dodge City February 1 The Big Green zipped past the Dodge City Conqs and onto an 84-75 Western Division victory Tuesday, Feb. 13, before a small gathering which came out to watch the important conference contest in Rindom Hall after it had been postponed from Janu- ary 27 by the weather. Seward County countered with a strong scoring night by Donnel Brundidge, Coleman Crawford and Mike Williams. Brundidge bagged 26, Williams had 20 and Crawford 18. The trio also paved the way for SCCJC's lopsided 65-49 re- bounding advantage. Crawford hit the boards as though his life depended on it and hauled off 20 caroms. Williams picked off 18 missed shots and Brundidge 16. With the Saints not operating from their offense or getting penetration Dodge City took the Soinis score Hutch bul' lose 97-90 Hutch's Dragons averted a third straight upset loss at the hands of the Seward County Saints with nifty outside shoot- ing down the stretch to rack up a tough 97-90 decision in Rindom Hall Friday night, Feb. 9. The Western Division leader, and the 11th ranked juco quin- tet in the nation, trailed' the spunky Big Green 75-69 with 7:53 left in the game. The lead, which came on con- secutive baskets by Curt White, Dale Doll and Foster Young on a follow shot to break a 69-69 standoff, seemed to wake up the Dragons. Seward County put up a good battle. They held the upper hand most of the night and fought the war of the boards almost on even keel with the taller Dra- gons. The Saints led by as many as six points twice in the first half and settled for a 43-39 advan- tage at intermission. Donnell Brundidge got the first bucket of the second half as the lead went back to six. Hutch went ahead 50-49 and turned the game into an old-fashioned tug-of-War until the Saints spurt .put them on top by six. But Hutchinson reeled off eight straight points to go out in front 81-79. Brundidge tied it one last time at 81-81 with 4:03 remaining in the contest. Then 6-9 Rudy Jackson, who'll be playing for Wichita State next year, put in a turn around jumper on the baseline. SewCo came down, shot once, missed with Hutch rebounding. Kenny Joe Love converted a three- point play to make it 86-81 with 3:30 left. Brundidge got two points back on a pair of freebies before Hutch put in five unanswered points to take charge of the game 97-83 with 2:31 left. SCCJC never got closer than four points. Young scores high as Soinis down Foster Young waited until his final regular season game as a Seward County Saint to really erupt. His offensive efforts couldn't have come at a better time. With Young scoring 31 points, including the final 11, the Seward County Saints roared from be- hind to cinch a third place tie by trimming the Dodge City Conqs 71-67 Saturday, March 3. Young was simply super as he led the Saints back from an 11- point deficit in the final nine minutes. On the verge of elimination, despite displaying an extremely spirited performance, the Saints hit a cold spell and the Conqs 53-42 with the game. The Saints then Dodge City 14-3 over the next five minutes with Young's driv- ing layup shot tying the game at 56-all with 4:15 to play. Brad Pagenkopf sank three straight baskets to keep the Conqs on top. DC's last lead was 63-60 with 2:13 left. Seward County took the lead when Young picked up a loose rebound and put it back in from eight-feet away. Twenty-three seconds la- ter, he was on the scoring end fell behind 9:06 left in outscored early lead of the game, 7-2, and led throughout the first half. The score was tied only once 28-28 with 3:49 left, and the Saints never led. The Conqs led at intermission 40-38. Dodge City got the first four points of the second half to scoot out to a 44-38 advantage. The Conquistadors still led 50- 44 on a short jump shot by Mel- vin Coleman with 15:19 left in the period when the Saints be- gin to jell. Dodge scored only one field goal over the next five minutes to Seward County would either force a turnover or limit DC to one missed shot. Seward finally took the lead 54-52 on a jump shot by Curt White. He added another one before fouling out with 11:17 left in the game. The big three, Brundidge, Williams plus Doll put in field goals as the Saints opened up a 64-56 lead. Dodge City made one final bid to overhaul the Saints when they trimmed the lead down- to two points twice, 66-64 and 68-66, but. buckets by Brundidge and Wil- liams again raised the margin to six. The Conqs were behead- ed. Seward County put up a sea- son high of 99 shots with 36 finding the ran-ge for 36.2 per- cent. Not good but better than Dodge's 35.7 on 30 out of 84. From the line the Saints were 15 of 21 while DC dropped in 12 of 18 chances. The Conqs did lead in turnovers 20-14. Garden stops Saints 77-50 al' GCCC The Seward County Saints lost to Garden City 77-50, Tuesday, Feb. 27 at Garden. Previously, Garden lost by 16 points in Rindom Hall C96-803 but won in a 27-point rout Feb. 27. The Big Green played a fair- ly good first half. They jumped out in front 4-0 and 6-2 in the early going, and led 22-21 with 4:59 to go before intermission. They were down only 32-30 at the break. In the last half, Seward Coun- ty collapsed. They were out- scored 45-20. Cold shooting hampered the offense at the offset, and when the de- Garden the ball wouldn't drop, fense also fell apart. City riddled the Saints on the fast break, or by hitting a man wide open underneath. At one point in the mess, the Busters had outscored the Saints 30-6. Sew'Co made only three field goals in 14 minutes. The official book didn't have a Saint scoring in double fig- uresg however, Seward County statistics recorded Dale Doll with 11 points on 5 of 11 from the field and 1 for 2 at the line. The Saints made only 23 of 82 attempts for 28 per cent, con- nected on just 4 of 11 free throw attempts, and made 19 turnovers. Dodge for 3rd in Conference of a Donnel Brundidge to Mike Williams to Young fast break which put the Saints ahead 64-63 with 1:15 left in the game. Dodge City turned the ball over with 1:01 remaining with Youngs driving layup giving SCCJC a 66-63 advantage with 48 seconds to go. He was fouled on the shot and converted the free throw to make it 67-63. However, the Conqs, who fin- ish in a sixth place tie with Garden City, didn't give up easy. Pagenkopf again hit to cut the deficit two, 67-65, with 27 sec- onds left. The key play came when the 68 Saints had trouble getting the ball down court with the Conqs kicking it out of bounds. Seward played it in from the side at Dodge City's end of the court. Young broke fullJlength with Brundidge's long-distance pass, from out of bounds, finding his teammate all alone underneath his own bucket for an easy two points. Young completed his heroics and cinched the Saints initial playoff berth after four years of trying by makin-g both ends of a one-and-one with three seconds remaining.
