FOOTBALL-1935 Football was a success at ROCky Ford High School this year, though we lost most of our games. The Meloneer Spirit never died even in face of our worst defeats. The Squad is one of the best groups of fellows to be found anywhere. These boys came out every night and put all they had into it. Many who had no hope of making the team fjust for the' love of the gameb came out regularly. Coach Gelwick should have credit for making the best of the material at hand. Holler and Mieistrell were elected Co-captains for 1936.
