Anne:
I looked at the photos you pointed to, and I think these attached two are NOT among those. These were sent to me a long time ago by Dewey and Bill Cross.

I believe the picture is the 1953 'All Star' Team:
Front: Bob Cross, Bat Boy
First row: Jim Haldeman, Marshall Johns, Bill Blackburn, Dewey Ramsby, Larry Cowart
Second row: Coach Al Hooper, John Jane, Jackie Billingham, Bill Cross, Ron Cayll, Beaner Houdin, Coach (u/k)
Third row: Lee Gartside, George Brown, Bob Jane, Bob Sutphen(?)

Bob Cross might be able to help identify the unknowns. For your information, "All Star Team" means the best players from the four-team league, which went on to regional and state tournaments. Note that I, Neil Haldeman, am not in any of these pictures. I DID MAKE THE 1955 team, but, alas, I don't have a picture of that team.
