We have an answer finally.

I believe that the basketball player in your picture is Thurman D. Lewis, he later went on to teaching there and in his later years owned the Walgreen drugstore from the late 30's to 50's when he died. He was the son of William J. Lewis and Ida Lewis (Maiden name was Ida Milner). Both Ida and William died in 1956.
