Froshfgoph-A Final Accornplishment There must be something to the old adage, Z-Xll's well that ends well, because the freshman X sopho- more football team ended their sea- son with a feeling of accomplish- ment after beating Sierra Vista 15-6 for their only victory of the season. The defensively dominated, ener- getic freshmen had problems scor- ing due to difficulty holding on to the ball and working as a team unit. However, these were eventually overcome by the leadership and skill of determined individuals, in' cluding strong safety leff Muncie, and high-scoring free safety Chris Subject. Chris explained, We wer- en't too disappointed because we recognized this as a learning experf ience, and our final victory restored our confidence. We're hopeful for the future. - N.O.

l .V. Football-A Determined Defense The most successful of Charter Oak's three football teams was the junior var- sity level. They finished their season with the competitive record of 2 and 5, with three ties in league. HThe ties were really frustrating, because we felt as if we had come so close to winning, commented one of the players. The Lancers' low scores in these games were attributed to C.O.'s exten- sive defensive strength. This allowed them to hold powerful offensive teams, such as San Dimas, to equally low scores. Only once did the Lancers score more than one touch down in a league game. On this occasion, they defeated Royal Oak 28-Ql in a very offensive game. This event proved to be the high point of the season. Determination played a major part in this victory, as well as in every game they played. Their common desire to win united them and enabled them to function well as a team. Our determi- nation was probably our greatest asset because it was the basis of all of our strength, commented tightend Tony Albin. FRONT ROW: D. Fiol, M. Gallino, l. Salvaggio, S. Papez, N. Pill, B.

Qrganization, The Key To Success Although the rallies did seem to lack some sort of organization, there were still some humorous and exciting mo- ments. Besides the problems, the rallies seemed to be somewhat entertaining with the exciting class competitions and the many different groups that per- formed which gave the rallies a bit ot variety. Drill team and the ritle squad each pertormed segments ot their halt time shows, and the dance team gave us an upbeat version ot lite in the army. Many skits were given by the pep unit members, but because ot microphone problems many of them were hard to hear, losing some ot the audience's at- tention. Leadership and the senior class also received their chance to plan and lead some ot the rallies. Senior punishment was a hilarious success this year and treshman weren't the only ones to be punished. The pranks consisted ot hunting tor buried treasure in kitty litter, sardine and beet-pie eating contests, and the old shaving cream in the balloon pop, atter which the participants begged tor torgiveness trom the seniors. Senior punishment was great , said Mike Walker. It was good to show the un- derclassmen where they stand, and how they should act toward us seniors. Leadership received the chance to sponsor its first rally. lt gave leader- ship the chance to be more visable to the student body, explained ASB. President Mauri Skinfill. Lisa Foster summed up the rallies, We had some good rallies and some bad rallies. You can't expect to have them all be great. During class competition the crowd comes alive. Marleen May, Angela Dorch, and Lisa Lemich support their senior Class. The sophomore class has a lot ot spirit. The un- derclassmen chant, Go, tight, win! Way to go Flipper! Paul Silva attempted to beat the seniors time but ot course he d1dn't succeed. A.S.B. President, Mauri Skintill took lead ot the rallies. The job demanded organization and skill as well as school spirit. Z . y yy. .4 rf?
