J -V BASKETBALL Front row, left to right: Lloyd Mitchell, Silas Reynolds, John Tozier, Ray Cross, Ernest Flick, Harry Hubbard, Clayton Ames, Jr., Erwin Vickery. Kneeling: Charles Pearce, coach. For the first time in basketball at Unity High School, this is the first I-V team the school has ever had. This is due to the fact that the girls are only playing once a week. The team has some very good prospects for next yearis varsity squad. Their record stands at three Wins and three losses. The losses were not more than two or three points, and the whole team showed plenty of lighting spirit throughout the entire season.
