One of the greatest single influences on the spirit of St. Mary's Lettermen during the past two years has been Coach William McKibbin. The first year saw a slow football season, but basketball gained as many wins as losses. Spring track brought the first trophy evidence of Mr. McKibbin's ability to build a team. His track team was second place in the State Tournament held in Springfield, May 16. Carl Michael won first in discus, and established a new record with a throw of 152 feet. One second, two thirds, and a fourth place com- pleted St. Mary's winnings. This year's football and basketball teams have shown the influence of Mr. McKibbin's coaching and leadership as well as his personal integrity. MR. MCKIBBIN LOVINGLY holds the trophy, symbol of second place, won at last May's state track meet. LETTERMEN RATE HIGH in school organizations and spirit.

Crusaders Pla Rough and Ready Ball The season started and ended right, under the able coaching of YN'illiam lVIcKibbin coupled with 1005? cooperation of co-captains Paul Smith and George Lucas. Although the season was anticipated as rough, this fact did not dampen the warrior-like spirit of a determined, well co-ordinated squad. Rain fell over the field as the Crusaders of St. Mary's clashed with the Cougars of Illinois Valley. Although St. lVlary's aggression led at the half by the score of 13-6, the Cougars out- maneuvered a fighting team to win 26-20. The next week saw the Crusaders romp to an easy victory over the Trojans from Klamath Falls. Bad luck and other troubles brought defeat from lvlerrill, Malin and jacksonville. Spirit, teamwork and morale again rose high as St. lVlary's Crusaders edged Chiloquin I4-6, As a result of hard work and zest, the home- coming game was a good one. However, Bonanza downed the home team 21-7. VVith Talent's forfeit the gridiron season dwindled to a finish. LE'
