   During the course of the 1953-54 basketball season, the basketball team won eight games and lost thirteen. Though the record was not too impressive, the team, handicapped by a lack of seasoned veterans, played hard and well. The loss of Jim Boyer, who moved to Texas proved to be the difference from a Fair team and what might have been a Good team.

   Ken Diehl, who came up from last year's J.V. squad, placed second among the top scorers of the East Penn League. Ken, who is a junior, will not return next year because of age ineligibility.  The Crimson Tide scored a total of 1177 points for the season and their opponents scored a total of 1292 points for the season.

   The following seniors will be lost through graduation: William Dougherty, Gene Fitzpatrick, Paul Motta, Matt McDonald, Tony Barket, Bob Steidle, and Bill Freed.
