LARRY TALBERT
BOY ATHLETE OF THE MONTH
LARRY TALBERT
Excelling in both basketball and football, Larry Talbert has been
chosen as boy athlete of the month.
During football season Larry played defensive end. He was a
reliable player at that position and helped to make the Bulldogs suc
cessful.
In basketball Larry was always in there fighting to the end. You
could see Talbert all over the court stealing the ball and going for a
fast break.
Larry has won many honors in other activities at school besides
sports. He is business manager of the annual, member of mixed
chorus, and a member of the Honor Society.
Larry enjoys any sport, but best of all he likes fishing. Just
give him a warm afternoon, his rod and reel, and his heart is content.
Larry plans to enter State College and^become an engineer. A
boy of his qualities should succeed in any undertaking.
GIRL ATHLETES OF THE MONTH
JANET GLOVER
The first athlete of the month is Janet Glover. Janet, who made
the varsity team as forward her sophomore year, has played first
string for the past two years. Janet can always be counted on to put
in set-shots when the others are guarded too closely under the bas
ket. She does not confine her ability to just one shot, though. She
can drive past the best of guards, and when she was switched to
guard in the Landis game, she proved to be a worry to the Landis for
wards with her quick dashes for the ball.
Janet’s full court playing has distinguished her as an all-around
player and a real asset to the teain.
JO ANN COLEY
There goes Jo Ann Coley, who is our second athlete of the month,
in for another hook-shot. Jo Ann played first string at Rockwell
last year and her moving here this year has been a fine addition to
the team, she being the only left handed forward. Jo Ann not only
has a good left-handed hook-shot, but has fooled the guards in the
last two games with set-shots from just behind the free-throw line.
Jo Ann has an approximate average of 15 per conference game
this year, though starting off in only three games. Jo Ann played one
of her best games against China Grove, where she scored 31 points.
