Eugene Brown--Freshman--Gene, playing third, his first year in high school, did a very good job of it.  He has three years left and should be a "Grade A" player by his Senior year.
Paul Gendron--Junior--Paul played first and was one of the best in Southern Illinois High School competition.  He also was good with the stick.
Walter Pedigo--Freshman--Another Freshie that made good.  Pedigo did a real job at short and was deadly at the plate, hitting from either side.
Roy Bledsoe--Junior--Roy played left field and when the old apple came out his way, it was "in the well."
Carl Underwood--Sophomore--Carl was the sparkplug of the infield.  Playing second, his continual chatter was that of never giving up.  "Chalky" was also pretty good at the plate.
Jack Crain--Junior--Jack did the catching, and opposing runners knew better than to try to steal a base with him behind the plate.
James McIntyre--Sophomore--Meechum was the center fielder and he covered the outfield like a "book."  He also was swift on the bases.
Archie Guess--Sophomore--Archie was the right fielder and also was the distance hitter of the club.  He always came in for his share of extra base hits.
Glenn Hopkins--Senior--Glenn did the hurling, and a very commendable job too.  He had tough luck when he cut his thumb early in the fall of '43 and was lost until the Spring of '44.
Bob Robertson--Freshman--Bob switched from any position in the outfield to first base.  Bob was also a deadly man with the old stick.
Simon Hancock--Sophomore--Simon was the utility man of the squad, always willing to pitch in wherever he was needed.
