Coach Roger Gildersleeve sponsored and organized the program which of- fered such sports as ping-pong, basketball, football and volleyball. The points earned by the winning class went toward Lion's Day Points. Stand back there 26! Let them fight for the ball and then I'l1 zot in there and ....

Tennis Highlight of the racketmanis hard fought sea- son was an uphill hattle to second place in the Centennial League's District meet. State-wide fame was brought to the school as a result of Bill Peterson and Jack Jennings taking the fourth place medals in the doubles competition at the state tennis matches at Boulder. Finishing the regular season with a six win, one loss record, the young Lions' team fared better in the competition than expected. Next year should he even hetter considering the loss of only a few seniors on the squad. Top row QR to LJ Coach Endsley Rick Bicknell Ed Skarweckl Tim Evans, Terry Bowell.
