The students of G. C. H. S. owe many thanks to Joe
Hartman and also "Art" McBride
for their efforts in turning out a basketball team. With but very
few of last year's men left, the outlook for a good season was not very
bright. Under this handicap the coaches went to work and before
the season was very old they had turned out a winning combination.
Then through sickness and exams we lost two valuable men, [Kenneth]
Dunn and Smith. Even with this
handicap the coaches did not give up but tried all the harder.
Though G. C. was beaten several times it is to be understood that they
went down fighting.
The prospects for next year [1927] are very
bright. The letter men of this year were
Keck, [Paul] Campbell, Smith, D. [Duane] Murray, [Kenneth] Dunn
and [Thomas] Mulqueen, while the new
material was [Thomas] Faulls, [Edward] Hummel, J.
[John] Murray, [Ralph] Negri, [John] Gilson, [Clifford] Bohlander,
and [Robert] Montgomery.
