Sure, along with other Mount
Joy fans, we travelled the 280 miles to New Wilmington in
hope of seeing you capture a state championship. And along
with the rest of the community we were disappointed that when
the final whistle had blown the
title was securely tucked under
the belts of the Big Reds from West Middlesex.
However, as we watched the game, we couldn't help but
be proud that we were from Mount Joy. Because we saw our
boys stick in their fighting to overcome a team that obviously
was having a “hot” night. Don’t misunderstand, we aren't of-

It takes lots of courage for cheerleaders to take the floor,
with tears in their eyes and a game obviously lost, to rally
the fans.
And yet right down to the last few seconds those
wonderful Mount Joy cheerleaders were out there plugging for
their team.
And, fellows, we saw sportsmanship at its best as you
played that all-important game.
You won the respect of funs

To Coaches George Houck and John Lichty, let us say this:
Here at The Bulletin we think you have done a mighty fine job
this season. You took your team much further
than anyone
would have predicted when the campaign started in the fall.
It is to your credit that together with your boys you found «

record.

for that basicetball coaching job. when the jointure is in opera--
tion. On the of1er hand, allof us should make up our minds to
support the officials in whatever decision they reach.
At any rate, Coaches Houck and Lichty and members of
the team, congratulations on winning the eastern champion-
