We, the students of St. Stephen ' s High, can be proud of our powerful Eagles this year in the tough competitive sport of football. The Eagles rounded out the season with a 5 win and 2 loss record. The two losses came at the hands of the powerful Shoshoni Wranglers and the Pavillion Panthers. Corky Payne was our leading scorer and our leading ground gainer. Mike Stark held up his reputation as an All-Stater scoring 51 points, all on passes from able quarterback, Tony Gamble. The race for total offense was close between Gamble, Stark and Payne. Our rock-ribbed defense, who yielded only an average of 11 points per game was led by McCoy, Al S. Hunter, Stark and Gamble. A special congratulation to our All-Staters, Mike Stark, Al Spoonhunter, and Corky Payne. We are looking forward to a great season next year but we know we will surely miss our three seniors who played great football under a very able and hard-working Coach Strannigan. Congratulations, Mike Stark, George Finlay- son and Jim McCoy. s. eadon St. Stephen ' St. Stephen ' St. Stephen ' St. Stephen St. Stephen ' St. Stephen ' St. Stephen ' s 31 52 Deaver 6 .

The high-flying Eagles have finished another successful season posting an enviable record. The season was high-lishted by close wins over Cowley and cross-county rival Pavillion in hard-fought games. The fired-up quintet pulled out viaories over rhe rwo tenacious teams from South Dakota — Holy Rosary and St. Francis. All-stater Al Spoonhunter played great ball and led the team in scoring. He had strong suppon from Mike Stark who will be sorely missed next season, and from George Spoon- hunter. Leonard Moss, Tony Gamble, and Ducky Goggles, The rest of the team was com- posed of juniors and sophomores, who will be back next year more experienced and ready to launch another winning campaign. Again the annual staff extends congratulations to a magnificent team and top notch coach for rhe wonderful job they did in carrying on the winning tradition built up at St. Stephens. Tournament time found the Eagles not quite up to their best performances, but nevertheless bringing home honors once again. Distria victories over Deaver, Byr on, and Pavillion, in which Ducky Goggles, Al Spoonhunter, and Leonard Moss were chosen to the All-Tourney team, once more gave the Eagles the first place trophy. In the. State Tournament at Laramie, the cold Eiales were pushed to the limit in taking a 56-54 sudden death overtime victory over Pavillion on George Spoonhunter ' s jump shot. They followed with a comeback victory over Superior, 46-.i9, with Ducky Goggles doing some sensational ballhawking. In the final. Prep was too tall, and we were cold. The Eagles had to settle for second in a 48-18 defeat. The boys deserved well, but laurels are certainly due to a great U. Prep squad. Goggles and Al Spoonhunter were chosen to the All-Tourney team. Congramlations to another successful Eagle team!
