Young team racks up 5-5 season ' After those first wins, I thought we might be contenders. ' Only seven seniors on a 44-man squad meant a lot of young inexperienced players had to carry the ball for the Blue Comet football squad. At times they performed well; sometimes, though, they stubbed their toes. The Comets started practice in mid- August and the two-week training camp at Camp Pickett was tougher than ever before. The stubborn gridders had some¬ thing to prove to the public. Actually, the public did not give the Comets much hope for they called the ’72 season a “rebuilding year.” But the team wanted a winning season and they worked hard to get it. Practices were long and tough and some players could not take the punishment and quit, but the ones that stuck it out molded into a hard-nosed team. The first game found the Comets in Roxboro facing the always-tough Person County in the season’s opener. Hard pre¬ season practices paid off as they psyched- up Comets tore Person County, 22-8. With victory stars in their eyes and in optimistic sight of a winning season, the Comets roared over Parkview, 28-0. ft Varsity Football 1972 Season’s Record: 5-5 HCSH 22 Person County 8 HCSH 28 Parkview 0 HCSH 0 E.C.

It’s the young Jay Gatsby! No, it’s Walter Lantz, a man of the seventies in the twenties clothing and with the roadster all ready to go. Jewelry and makeup were popular with girls like Mamie Plenty who wanted to keep up with the fashion. Braids on dudes are not a cause for smirks. Ricky Sydnor and Norman Hendricks know that braids make Afros bush out. Fads and Fashions 15
