This year our Iunior Varsity basketball team was again under the capable direction of Father Terence. Playing a difficult schedule against bigger opponents the record on paper doesn't appear too good. The season record showed three wins and eight losses. On the other hand the team gained valuable experi- ence which will better prepare them for Var- sity competition in future years. This year's team was made up of boys from the freshmen. sophomore and junior classes who played hard in every game. Win or lose the boys exhibited a fine spirit and gained valuable experience which will be a big help to them when they are ready to take their places on the Varsity squad.
