Description: 1940's High School Yearbook with photos and mentions of graduating senior and future Professional Basketball champion Jim Loscutoff who appears in graduating senior class. Wonderful condition, great pictures and period design. Jim Loscutoff was selected with the third non-territorial pick of the first round in the 1955 NBA draft. He was originally drafted by coach Red Auerbach to provide some much-needed defensive attitude for the Celtics team, which (despite becoming the first team to average 100 points per game in the 1954-55 season) had one of the worst defensive records in the league. During his rookie year, Loscutoff set a then-record for the Celtics with 26 rebounds in a game. In the 1957 NBA Finals, he sank the final two free throws of a 125–123 double-overtime victory over the St. Louis Hawks in game seven, as the Celtics won their first NBA championship. From 1955–56 to 1963–64, Loscutoff was a member of seven championships as part of the legendary Celtics teams. Loscutoff's nicknames included "Jungle Jim" and "Loscy". The organization wished to honor Loscutoff, but he asked that his jersey number (18) not be retired, so that a future Celtic could wear it. Instead, the Celtics added a banner with his nickname "Loscy" to the retired number banners hanging from the rafters of their arenas. Loscutoff coached the basketball team at Boston State College from 1964 to 1976 and compiled a record of 219–92 with the Warriors. In 1980, he was a member of the inaugural class of inductees to the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame.Photoed Graduating Seniors include: sally allen, allan anderson, william armstrong, john arno, nancy ashley, david bale, paul averell, richard bare, johanna bartky, yvonne baskette, chris bell, john beltramo, virignia benedict, richard bennett, kingdon blabon, audrey bliss, richard borges, patricia bourke, marjorie brewer, barbara bright, lawrence brown, ina mae buckely, katharine burleson, alberta burns, gerard carlstrom, edward carpetinger, elizabeth carpenter, eleanor carr, willard cartwright, ann classen, lee cliff, marilyn collins, robert collins, jeannette colombat, carol cox, richard cram, jean cryor, richard cullenward, carol curry, yvonne curry, sylvia davidson, gilbert davis, donald davis, stancliff davis, peter deball, jerome dedo, hugh dewitt, glen dunton, cyanne edmondson, raedith esser, eldon farley, andrew farmer, wilma flattley, vivann folta, jean foreman, harry fowler, joan frazier, robin frost, joann gehman, wendell gerken, donald gerth, william glathe, juanita grimm, mary griscom, owen hackett, thomas hamilton, marjorie hansen, rob hardin, dorothea hardy, ann hayden, dorothy heisler, ian hendrickson, goredon hespelt, john hibner, patricia hine, nancy jo hopkins, nancy horack, george houck, marian huttman, sam iki, james ingalls, carl irwin, carl isenberg, sven jorgensen, gale keeney, nancy kirkpatrick, stanley knapp, allyn kreps, chiaki kumano, norman lacey, vincent lacoste, robert lane, mary lang, adele larrus, wayne larsen, ella larson, scott lawson, wallace leung, harlow lloyd, richard long, joseph longabaugh, donald lorton, james loscutoff, jean love, william luce, elizabeth lundquist, marilyn lynch, dale mcelroy, richard mcelyea, joan mcfadden, janice mcnamara, david macabee, joan manning, claire marshall, vaughn marshall, james martin, masako maruyama, roger may, leonard mayrhofer, william mendel, david merrick, richard messimer, paula minard, emma mock, evelyn montero, robert4 morris, charlotte mossman, judith mottram, june nakamura, marjorie natrass, theodore nehrenberg, nancy nelson, mary ellen oden, alice okado, don o'keef, herbert ormsby, caroline orris, gordon owen, james partridge, stanley pence, anne perkins, janice perkins, richard petersen, barbara petrick, peter phillips, ruth porter, joseph powell, shirley pugh, beatruce quayle, delbert quigley, dan ramirez, william reed, richard rogers, bryon rose, marian rudloff, betty sakata, earle salz, marilyn sather, sylvia sawyer, lynn sevy, sally sipherd, lorraine slade, jacquqeline smith, martha c. smith, perry smith, babette snitjer, laurenda spiers, florence sprague, phyllis squires, don stager, virginia stein, edward stirm, margaret stiver, richard strain, jacqueline strick, william sturm, luella suda, sheridan sweigert, jea tamplin, jess tapp, winifred teague, richard thiel, elden thomayer, atsushi tsunoda, beverlee turner, lois urban, marian van gorde, ray van meter, alan vollert, emma walker, margaret weakley, robert weinbergh, emily whitehead, brent williams, shirley williams, ben winkelman, al winterbotham, mable wong, rita young.
