ou ge , says football captaln Pat O'Keefe, a freshman and captain of the Freshman Football Team, had very personal feelings about the team. He feels there are a lot of players that he thinks are good, but don't get a chance because they are shy. He is five feet, four and one-half inches tall and weighs l 18 pounds. The other captain is Don Dismuke. Playing football in Junior High, he became a captain after Coach Chris Beatty asked him after several practice sessions. One of the biggest problems he said he has as team captain was, Trying to get your friends to listen to you! Pat said that the main weakness of the team was other people wanting to play other positions other than what they were playing. Yes, because people respect you, even coaches. replied Pat O'Keefe when asked if he enjoyed being team captain. One of the biggest responsibilities Pat O'Keefe possessed as captain was knowing what duty each position had on each play and making decisions on what to call. Being team captain carried a lot of authority because one relays the mes- sages that the coach gives to the cap- tain to the rest of the team, and they have to listen to the captain or make a possible important mistake. according to Pat O'Keefe. One of the most important and handy qualities a team captain must possess the ability to get along with the coach and team alike. Some possible suggestions Pat has for future team captains are to tell the players to play where the coach puts him, not where they want to play, as well as get along with team and coach, and do as the coach tells each player to do. 153 RIGHT BEFORE HALFTIME at the Homecoming game. freshman Don Dismuke shows that 'We're number onel' 203 WORKING AT THE carnival dance for the Drama Club after the Varsity Football game is Freshman Mary Barnett.

Marchlng Band freshman plays A real top notch group has a lot of fun. This was the first impression that Jennifer Nunn had about the High School Marching Band. The first impression that Jennifer had must have meant a lot to her, because she went out for the Band. She's presently a member and really enjoys what shels doing. Not totally new in the field of music though. Jenni- fer participated in bands three years prior to her coming to High School. One of the most rewarding things that she gets out of Band is putting on a great performance and feeling that all the work that went into it was worth- while. As far as problems go, Jennifer said she has none with the Band, she said that all the band members work together to help each other work out their problems. Jennifer really likes the Band Director, Eugene Anderson. I-le's really strict, but it's good disci- pline for us, she said. A hobby is what Jennifer considers playing an instrument. She likes to do it and finds it interesting. Although she doesn,t see music in her future, Jenni- fer plans to continue playing in the Band throughout her remaining years in high school. - Julie Wright ISI I LIKE BEING a cheerleader because it's fun. and I like representing the school. said Ver- onica Guzman. freshman.
