Coac In some respects this was a rather disappointing season. Although this was one of the largest seventh grades ever en- rolled at Abbott, there were only about thirty boys who actively participated in football. The poor record of no wins and four losses, however, should not be over-emphasized, as this group of boys showed considerable improvement through hard work and a good team spirit. We can look forward to better things to come during the remainder of their stay at Abbott School. , '60 Fuuback SEVENIH GRADE HHHBAH h Hulmes FIRST ROWeBob Katy, Garry Warren, ErI Runge, Bill Stall, Bill Gieske, John Dibb.
