Many of these boys went on to win the North Dakota State Class-A Championship in 1960.
Not pictured but on that Hiliners Varsity team from our Class of 1961 included 
Jerry Busche, Jack Paulson, and Lee Samson.

This photograph was supplied to us by Warren Olson. He came across it in doing some digging in preparation for the interview I did with Warren about his time at Valley City Junior High. Thanks, Warren, for the photo and supplying the caption. And Roger Taylor's correction on the name of the squad is also appreciated!
