.4 ' Seldom does a school bring back four trophies from the Tour- nament of Champions, but we did it. Not only did our rooting sec- tion win the tangible award of the trophy, there were many flatter- ing comments from Tournament officials and civic leaders. While presenting the trophy for the Best Rooting Section, Dave Snyder, of the Tournament Committee, said: l don't want to slight past rooting sections but this lValIejol is one of the most remarkable ones in the fifteen-year history of the Tournament. The team received the trophy for its second place position with each member receiving a small silver basketball. Bill l-limes and Jerry Causey were awarded indi- vidual trophies signifying their selection to the All-Tournament Team.
