The Spartan team won the Confer- ence Championship with an 8-1 record. The team operated successfully with a veer option offense. The one loss suffered by the Anita team was to Adair-Casey in the Homecoming game. Leading rusher for the year was Ron Schuler with 1141 total yards, breaking the old school record of 1100 to- tal yards set by Denny Sims. Dan Parker was rated 11th in the state for extra points kicked. Quarterback Randy Reindl was rated 2nd team All State and was selected to participate in the Shrine Bowl.

Many underclassmen gained valuable experience for the years ahead. The girls ended their season with a 1-14 record, but learned many im- portant things such as teamwork and fighting until the end. One highlight of the year was breaking the school's scor- ing record. The Spartanettes scored 95 points against Cumberland-Massena to break the previous record of 92 points. Mary Wessling, an A.H.S. guard, was named to All-Conference 2nd team.

The conference re- cord was 8 - 8, while the Spartans tied for fourth place in the Little 8 Conference. Head Coach, Dave Boldt, commented, Our con- ference was real balanced with the exception of A-C. We played a lot of close ball games and with a break or two our record could have been much better. We had a great group of seniors. PIC. 1. Joe Richter shoots a free-throw while Dan Parker and Terry Kloppenburg look on. PIC. 2.

As the season progressed, the wrestlers increased their strength by lifting weights. A new drill this year was jumping rope, which they did every night for about 15 minutes. All this work eventually paid off at the end of the season during Section- als , where 6 wrestlers advanced to the districts tournament and they took the championship. At Districts they won 4th place, with Wendall Miller, and Dave Waddell qualifying for the State Wrestling Tournament. PIC. 1. District Qualifiers. Row 1: Troy Whee- lock, Rod Williamson, Mike Young.

A friend is someone we turn to When our spirits need a lift A friend is someone we treasure For true friendship is a gift A friend is someone we laugh with Over little personal things A friend is someone we're serious with In facing whatever life brings A friend is someone who fills our lives With beauty and joy and grace And makes the world that we live in A better and happier place LIFE, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, and PEOPLE trademark and format used by permission of the publisher, Time Inc.
