During their season they won a vast majority of their games and went all the way to the finals in the Gary eighth-grade tourney. In the tourney their first game was with Franklin, whom they downed, and then went on to win over St. Hedwig’s and Edison of Gary. In the final game, our boys fell victim to Tolleston’s superior size and went down in defeat. However, they received a runner-up trophy, which will be good inspiration in future years. Here’s hoping that this bunch of boys stick together—and when they become seniors, watch their smoke. J. Hopkins T. Snemis. Fifth row: J. Fields, J. Smith, P. Woodruff, C. Bowers, D. Ralph, A.

The second is very reckless Because I’m sure to be tactless. And if I think before having my say A very meek and mild person I’ll be some day But if I say what I think, Someone is sure to want to shrink. Pray tell, what docs one do??????
