Bill Allison-Captain and Center Bill, who played center, was one ot' the most essential players on the team. His ex- cellent ball handling, defensive work, and good sportsmanship has made him known throughout the C League. This is Bill's third year as a member of the Varsity. He is the only three-year man to graduate. Ronald Best-Forward Although this was Ron's only year on the Varsity, he has proved to be a very successful forward. He has added badly needed height to the squad, with which he has captured more than his share of the rebounds. The team surely will miss him next year. Robert Raybuck-Guard Bob, a good defensive guard, came to us last year from Sligo. He has proven him- self to be of great help to the Varsity team by sinking those long shots. This is Bob's first year on the Varsity and final year in school. Good going, Bob! Robert Kunkle-Forward A good all-around ball player. He has proven his worth in both guard and for- ward positions. He can shoot and dribble with anyone in the league. Bob will occupy a first place berth next year. Good shoot- in', Bob. Paul Dean Ashbaugh-Forward P. ll. is a Junior this year, playing Var- sity ball and doing a good job ol' it. Al- though he is the smallest Varsity player on the squad, his shortness and accuracy in shooting has fooled many opponents. llc is the only south-paw on the team. Keep up the good work! Wesley Henglien-Guard Wes, another Junior, has proven skill and ability on our team in both defensive and offensive basketball. He was the most improved player on the squad. The team will welcome him back again next year. Tom Leavy-Guard This fast Freshman whose ability took him to play Varsity ball was the only first year man to make the first string. The success of next year's team will rest partly on his playing ability. Although this is only Tom's first year of playing basketball. in the future he will prove to be a very good player. Keep up the good work! Judd Wetzel-Center This fast moving Sophomore is recorded as one of the leagues best J.-V. centers. His determination and endurance helped bring many victories to our school. With these Seniors graduating. Judd will have an excellent opportunity to advance to the Varsity. Good luck. Judd. L 1 ,

Bill Neely-Manager Bill, another Turnip Hole boy, has spent much of his past two years here going about his unsung job as manager. Al- though never receiving recognition for his efforts, he performed his duties tirelessly and helped maintain team spirit though Mr. Helmintoller-Coach Mr. Helmintoller, with two years of coaching at St. Pete, had a team at the end of this year that showed definite improve- ment. He planted sportsmanship as well as skill in our players. At times he had plenty of reason to throw that key ring, but just the same the team pulled through admir- ably. We won't forget you, Dick. Good luck to you and your future teams! the going was often tough. THE TEAM As a team, our boys had a little trouble getting started, but once started they were diiicult to stop. Our team not only won their first game of the Emlenton Tournament, but proudly walked off with the Good Sportsmanship Award. Bill Allison and Ron Best were selected to play in the All Star game at Clarion. Although we lose three members this year, the remaining players give promise of a great team in the coming year. Good luck, boys! THIS IS THE WAY THEY CAME OUT! Dec. 7 .... St. Petersburg 22 . ., .. away .,... Parker 47 Dec. 10 .,., .
