Thursday, December 8, 1955 Richmond Community News By Phyllis Garlsan plimtrel Show TTie weather played a dirty trick on the high school chorus last Saturday night by pouring rain and blowing a nasty wind just as it was nearly curtain time at R.B.C.H.S. A few, or rather several, hearty souls braved the storm and came away well rewarded for their efforts. Harold Huff made a good interlocutor. His end men were very funny and full of jokes, too. Roger Shaw played Tummy, Lester Mecklenburg was Sam, Bob Miller starred as Eucalyptus and Sunshine Nicodemus Jones was Tterry Gunderson. The outlandish costumes were interesting, to say the least, and we hope to see it again next year. Perhaps next time the weather will be more favorable to the human race.

Four of the five regulars for the Rockets were in double figures for scoring. . Bob Christensen had another real good night with 30, Loren Miller had 20, and all five regulars had four fouls, which , fe unusual. Genoa City also had four Regulars in the double figures, Bob Mortensen beings high for Genoa with 20 points. The Junior Rockets won their fourth consecutive game of the season and are starting to be a real threat for the Frosh-Soph conference crown, but it is a real long season and anything could happen. Norm Patton, the Frosh- Soph coach, really has these boys on the ball. The final score with Genoa City was 41-29. Arseneau was high with 13 and Buchert had 12. Dave Harris played his usual good defensive game, and Bergsfna and Vierke were taking care of the rebounds. For Genoa City it was John Bitl, who was high point man with 9 pcints.

The Cow Girls grabbed the lead right from the start and never were behind during the entire game. The game was played before a very large crowd, in fact it was the largest crowd the Zephyrs have ever drawn to a game at the high school, outside of tournament play. The Girls drew many laughs and their tying up of Coach Ned Morgensen really added to the enjoyment of the students. Another feature of their suitcase of tricks was the shooting of the referee, Don Tilton, and the playing of yours truly with the gals for a couple of minutes while the Cow Girl captain tooted the whistle. All in all it was a lot of fun for everybody, and the big thing albout it was that we still have many good basketball fans in this area that would like to see more top basketball. The Richmond Zephyrs are going to try to bring in top inde^ pendent teams for the balance of the season every Sunday.
