The success of a team is not wholly measured by the number of games won, but also by the sportsmanship and courage acquired in playing a good, clean game and by entering the game with an un- beaten spirit. Ho11and's team was successful in these respects. Both of the games won were played on Hol- land's floor, and were interesting to watch. The team never let its fans down, but kept plugging away at the basket until the end of the game. Harold Cramer, Karl Wohlfarth, Daniel Chin- nis, Lester Davidson, George Kent, and Gene Gibson will graduate this year: but, with the players on the Reserve who will be eligible for the Varsity Holland should have a good team next year.

Basketball Varsity Inderrieden. W. A. Fulghum Director of Athletics Mr. Fulghum came to Holland in the fall of 1941 as Director of Physical Education and Head Coach. Since the fall of 1942, he has been Director of Athletics and Supervisor of Visual Education. Beginning in 1942 he held the position of Principal of the High School for three years: he was also Principal of the Holland Elementary School during the school year of 1944-45. During these five years, he has earned the respect and admiration of the entire student body. He has been interested in increasing the scholastic stand- ing of the school, especially of the boys participating in sports. lt was through his efforts that the Varsity H is sponsoring the trophy which is to be awarded each year to the athlete who has maintained the highest scholastic and athletic ratings during the entire four years of high school.

After losing the Ottawa Hills and Delta games by narrow margins, the Re- serves came back to win a very exciting game Going into the Tournament the Reserves had revenge by trouncing the Waterville Reserves 30 to 19. The second night Holland met Ottawa Hills and lost by a large margin. on the Whitehouse floor. The last game at Waterville was one of the best games ot their season. After tying the game and then playing overtimef Waterville won by 2 points. With the basketball material remaining from the varsity squad and the increased support of good materials from this reserve squad, we have good reason to be optimistic and predict a winning year for the coming school year.
