New Teamg New Coach The Varsity Cross Country Team under the direction of Coach Molloy, finished up the season with a 3-4 record, beating Hart, Glen- dale, and Hoover. The top runners proved to be Glen Cunningham, and Alfonso Jiminez, who finished third in the league. A new addition to the Cross Country team was the Girls' Team. The girls worked very hard. They finished fourth in the league, with a 3-4 record, despite several injuries. There were not enough runners to make up a Sophomore Team, so those who were not on Varsity, competed in the Jay Vee division. The Jay Vees had a disappointing season, but the team members exhibited much effort and dedica- tion. UPPER: Trying to stay ahead of his Hoover opponent, John Flubio pushes himself. LOWER: Three Blair Varisty runners, Adalberto Pena, Peter Woodward, and Jesus Cruz, lead the way in a meet against Hoover.

Ballard Speaks Out The Blair High Freshman foot- ball team consisted of just twenty young men whose hearts were bigger than their bodies. Learning to play the game of football takes many years, and for fourteen of our twenty men this was their first real experience at this great sport. The offensive team led by Co-captains Greg Abejon lQBi and Tom McKay fGJ were assisted by Scott Masterson, Tim Gutierrez, Stan Hicks, Andres Alvare, Mike Thompson, Dave Borrego, Carlos Chiffer, Junior Ceballos, and Kelly Hannah. Our defensive squad members were Phil Butler, Dave Hoffman, Wendell Jefferson, Darryl Lewis, Mike Wooldridge, Ed Lockwood, Jauquin Garcia, Vernon Warren, and John Quirol. I want to thank these young men for putting in many hard, sweat filled hours to learn the game of football. -J.
