Ju- neau grade line-up included Graves, Crme, and Engstrom. On the Doug- last line-up second-zeneration boys includad Cashen, Fleek, Bonnett, cnd Isaak. High point man for the game was Billie Orme who logged ten points. Billy is the son of Fred Orme and the nephew of Jim Orme, Wwho were wellknown basketball play-! ers a decade ago.
