PURSIFUL STAYS
By W Iter J. Crid r
Highland Park Community
High School's winningest bas
ketball coach had been able to
work out his differences with the
school board and will remain as
coach this year.
Coach Pursiful has always
been able to field a good solid
team and his win-lose record is
unmatched in the school's his
tory.
In addition to being a good
coach in basketball fund amen -
tals, he takes personal interest in
his charges and helps them
furhter their education after
high school-- that's where it's at
and what it's all about.
