Debbie Hughes demonstrates her form. GALS BOWL Including 24 girls, the Bowling League underwent its second year. The team met each Monday night at Wells Bowling Lanes in Elwood to bowl three games apiece. The only meets were two against Elwood in which the team won one and lost one. For the first time the league sent six girls to the State Bowling Tourney in South Port. These girls were: Terri Freeman with the highest average of 131; Brenda Morgan, 123; Jana Browning, 118; Amy Pritchett, 125; Missy Marlow, 120; and Donna Clay- baugh, 05, alternate. Keeping score correctly is a must in bowling; Dawn Pike uses her mathematical know-how to obtain the right figures. Brenda Chubb keeps her eyes on the pins down the alley. A photo of the form that gave Jan Browning her average of 118 for the season.

But when it was over, I had a much better feeling about it. You kind of feel like you have had an advantage over those who haven't had the chance to test themselves by running two and a half miles. A big disappointment for the Cross Country team was lack of participation. The boys that did participate seemed to get great satisfaction from running. Many of them ran to get in shape for other sports during the school year. The team agreed that the running made them physically fatigued, but emotionally they felt like they had really accomplish- ed something. With a feeling of confidence in them- selves and the team as a whole, they faced each meet head on. Cross Country didn't bring many fans, but the boys understood that it isn't a much publicized sport. Captain of the team was Don Hall, senior; Darrell Couch, a junior, was voted the Most Valuable Runner. In the White River Conference meet the harriers placed sixth out of the seven teams competing. Also in the Yorktown Invitational meet they placed sixth out of eight teams. Steve Belokopitsky and other Cross Country runners try to figure out the football strategy on the board in the football shed. Frankton runner John Collier strides on as an opposer comes up from the rear. Running Cross Country takes much con- centration as the faces show.

FOOTBALL: “AN EXPERIENCE” FOOTBALL, it's an experience. It's feeling tired, sick, and like quit- ting after the first couple practices. It's a time of frustration, pain, and glory all in one. It's forgetting every- thing but the game, doing your best and being satisfied with that. It's being part of a unit of athletes working to- gether toward a common goal: Victory. Before the football season started and after seeing what the players were doing in practice, Coach Dennis Ice thought that the varsity team could have a half and half season very easily. Even though many games were quite close, the team just couldn't pull out the extra points. Coach Ice stated that out of the eight games Frankton lost, in only two were the Eagles out- played. These were against Hamilton Heights and Wes-Del. Injuries plagued the team again this year. Resulting from hard and strenuous play came three concussions, one knee injury, and one back injury. Out of the total 81 points brought in throughout the season, Dan Fetty gained 24 points, and Mike Cooper followed up with 20. Co-Captains were Mark Coy and Steve Lawrence. At the fall sports awards presentation the following were announced: Steve Lawrence, Most Valuable Lineman; Mike Cooper, Most Valuable Back; and Ron Qualls, Most Valuable Player. Having a worse season than the varsity, the reserve squad turned out an 0-8 season. One of the major factors contributing to the defeats was the fact that there weren't enough players to have separate practices for varsity and reserve so the reserve players had little time together. Also, most of the better reserve players played in varsity games for one or two quarters and according to IHSAA rules a player is allowed to participate in only four quarters per week. This left little time for them to participate in reserve games. Inex- perience and a change of quarterbacks also added to the unimpressive season. Something appears to be humorous as Coaches Urban and Searle help Ron Qualls off the field during the Homecoming game.
