'1 -'JF-D .1 JVM. -,w1:.i51 l 4 l l 1 E eav es Raw Emu Nm TEM T Four Seniors, chaperoned by Billy and Donna Smith, went on the class trip to Florida during Spring Holidays. They rented a Winne- bago and had several days of fun and relaxation in the Florida sun. Things to do were no prob- lnexperience, lack of depth and difficult scheduling in the initial part of the season were three reasons cited by the Panthers for the squad's early demise. The Panther's first few encounters against their opposition com- pelled an unexperienced team to engage several powerful football clubs. The players adsorbed a crash course in varsity football against local powerhouses. The overcoming of these obstacles will probably prove beneficial in coming games. Although this year turned out to be a disappointment, the black cloud seemed to have a silver lining. The Panthers gained stam- ina, experience, and self-determ- ination, not to mention how to run, block and tackle, through countless practices and weekly games. fupper leftl Mike Walker, lr., second year letterman, carries the football in an effort to gain six points. fupper rightl jamie Morgan, lr., second year letterman, rounds the corner to try to gain some yardage. flower leftl Ken Nichols, Fresh., first year letterman, punts the ball out of Panther territory. flower rightl Craig Wells, Soph., first year letterman, tries to slow down the opposition. i 40 Football I 5 Y ,M in , 5. .. ...Z5L.-aff l TW TA' A .
