Bright future They are the finest group of young men l've ever coached, stated Cooch Nelson about this year's freshmen squad. Their season record was three wins and four losses. We felt the record could have been better, but the four games we lost were each by seven points or Iess, said Coach Nelson. They did not believe in one man, but they believed in team identity. Some of the outstanding players were Matt Moritz, who won the Best Lineman Award, John Rembold, Best Back, Eric Smith, Mr. Hustle, Kelly McCarty, Most Inspirational, Jim Smith and Mark Barnhart, Most Improved, Eric Ummel, Best Non-starter, and the Most Valuable Player was Jeff Willis.

Sophs have potential The sophomore football team this season showed great potential but inconsistency I was disappointed the team never realized their potential, but I felt there were definite gains toward the future, stated coach Tim Mead. The team featured an excellent offensive line anchored by Dan Pittman and Jim Fran- ckowiak, and LeRoy Hornbeck did an ex- cellent iob at quarterback. The defensive was headed by Mark Leonard, Ray Bisson, and Bruce Furrer. The highlight of the season wascoming from behind to beat Mount Vernon after trailing 14 to 0 in the fourth quarter. Another out- standing performance was the 47-0 white- wash they handed Blanchet. For the future Mr. Mead feels they could be high in Wesco when they are Juniors and Seniors if they re- alize their potential.

Hollywood extravaganza becomes a Mariner reality lt almost seemed as if the coronation was part of some Hollywood extravaganza, it was so glamorous. Each girl looked like a starlef as she piroutted out on the floor, her escort as her leading man.The music from the band gave the ceremony a romantic, nostalgic mood. The realization that this was a once in a lifetime experience was clear. Each little intake of breath, each excited whisper, each loud cheer from the audience as the honor court was announced was pre- cisely timed, perfectly on cue. The emotions of everyone, including the nominees, were on a roller coaster ride. As the princesses were named the suspense mounted. lt could almost be touched, be seen hanging in the air. The crossed fingers were countless. All eyes rested on the remaining two girls, Pam Schlicke and Patty Giendem. Unbearably the hostess paused before announcing the first runnerup . . . is Pam Schlicke. Wild cheering, crying and shouting broke out. Patty was weeping happily. The clapping thundefed as Patty and her escort, Mike Con- klin, walked to her throne. Patty was joined there by her mother and father. Mike didn't know what to do with the crown. All the con- fusion associated with any planned ceremony was evident, but it just made it all the more endearing. The reception afterwards was filled to the brim with kissing, hugging, and con- gratulations. Proud parents stood aside, beaming at their sons and daughters. Homecoming '77 fulfilled its theme to the letter, making everybody's dream come true and maybe even starting a few new ones. Upper left, Mike Conklin confusedly awaits Patty's crown- ing.
