Varsity Basketball ROW 1: J. D'Amato, R. Swan, W. Bettcher, W. Kingsbury, E. Brooks, Coach Viggato. ROW 1: G. Spencer D Kozak, R. Smith, R. Totaro, K. Braumbach. ROW 3: R. Fuller, F. Stevens, H. Gossel C INNING or losing, the basketball team always has the support of the West Seneca student body. While the 1954 team's record might not look so im- pressive, each game was a thrill, for the team members were scrappy but clean fightersg despite handicaps, they showed a fine knowledge of basketball, an en- thusiasm for the game, perseverance under fire, and good, clean sportsmanship. The eyes of the school in each game turned first to Roy Fuller, high man with a score of 172, and then to Dick Kingsbury, who was second top-score man with 162 points. Other seniors who made up the backbone of this year's team were G. Spen- cer, W. Bettcher, R. Swan and H. Gossel. While we are always sorry to see our experienced players go, we are hope- fully looking to the return of such varsity players as: F . Stevens, E. Brooks, D. Kozak and R. Totaro. There were exciting moments in every game but certain moments are mem- orable: Dick Kingsbury's tremendous playing in the Amherst gameg R. Fu1ler's netting 25 points against Cleveland Hillg and Dick Swan's performance in the last five seconds to sink Williamsville. We They We They We They We They Amherst 34 . . . '73 34 . . .

Captain OCTHERE is always tremendous interest in our swimming team because of the skill of our finmen, the excellent coaching of Mr. Bruce Hawkes and the lively competition offered by such schools as Amherst, Williamsville, Cleveland Hill, Maryvale and Clarence.
