Although the Cardinals were not a success in the won-lost column, the team it- self was a success. The boys learned the valuable lessons of sportsmanship, team work, and the ability to fight when the going gets rough which shall perhaps influence their lives greatly. There was a good turnout of freshmen that will be Brodhead's future team. The high school body and the people of Brodhead backed the team better than any other year and it is hoped they will continue to do so. 67
