In what would be an incredible season, the Everett High School basketball team opened with a 54-42 defeat over Highline last night. Coach Norm Lowery’s Gulls were taller than usual this year. The all-senior starters were 6-foot-2 Henry Mathews and 6-foot-5 Dick Weeks at forward; Roger Bruett, 6-5 at center, and Dick French, 6-1, and Ron Larson, 5-11 at guard.
Riding regally in the annual Kiddies parade today were King Tommy Anderson, 7, and Queen Bonnie Collins, 11.
