Junior Varsity This yearis Iunior Varsity team consists of two juniors, Lester Sharp and David Goergen, six sophomores and three freshmen. The team, coached by Mr. George, has had several victories and a few close games. The team put in many hours of practice after school on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. High scorer for this year was Bob Meilinger, who averaged eleven points a game. Fritz Hammann was not far behind Bob, with an average of nine points a game. Among the junior Varsity victories were Mo- hanesan, Berne-Knox, Maple Hill and Heatly. By the system of rotation of the first string, each of the boys had a chance to be captain for at least one game. The junior Varsity team has greatly improved and will be a great asset to the Varsity team of next year. Front Row, left to right: T. Furman, J. Senning, fManagerI, W. Throop, W. Smith.

Varsity Basketball Only three veterans from last years varsity re- turned to play this year. Captain Dave Picard and lVes Knapp, seniors, and Bill Hotaling, a junior, formed the nucleus of the team. Added to these were regular junior varsity players of last year, Gene Krause, Bonar Halsdorf, Tom Crocker, and Bill Elmendorf. NVith other jayvee members these boys practiced and scrimmaged diligently to build a better team. Catskill and Mohanesan. Our victory over the latter was our first victory over a two year span. However, we still remain the smallest school in the league. This year only three seniors were regular mem- bers of the basketball squad but the large number of junior and sophomore members gain- ing experience should benefit next yearis team. r . r 'L b ' i i l i ' if 1 f There were some chi ges in fhe d , Maggy ' 1 l H L, y Hilti' League this year ' id We may! jo, Wi ams, gp' asap XAVJ gi i .sf f flx ' W ' .

A cloud of dust and a player sliding safely into home plate, the leap through air and a spectacu- lar grass-top, last-out catch of a line drive. The thrills of a game and practice are long remem- bered by the team and spectators. Coach Harold Mead demonstrates proper bat- ting stance.
