Thanks to several civic minded citizens those boys at AHS with golfing ability were given the opportunity to display their talents and they did very commend- ably! The team composed of Derek Dolenc, Tom Macchio, Kent Dolenc, and Joe Michelich won the IHSA class A district with a team total of 324 strokes. Derek was first medalist with a score of 74, and Tom Macchio was third medalist with a score of 76. The team placed fourth at the Effing- ham Sectional and thus did not qualify for state. Tom Macchio qualified and participated in the state tournament at Champaign. Tom shows his talent in the sand trap. 13

This year's football team made us proud to be Trojans. Due to past records, many fans didn't want to get their hopes too high. When the first game along (Auburn vs. Virden) it seemed that maybe we would see a repeat of past records. After that first loss against our oldest rivals, the Trojans got it together, and started win- ning and kept on winning. Perhaps one event that gave the Trojan spirit a gigantic boost was winning die Homecoming game against Northwestern. A first for many years. As our winning season progressed, another goal other than the post at each end of the field came to light--die coveted MSM championship! When die last game of the season was over, our record was tied widi Greenfield, die only contender in sight. When the kickoff of the big game came, the Trojans were confident. But as die game progressed it became apparent that the officials would not let the Trojans take dieir rightful place as champs. Wre became co-champs. Our new rival, Greenfield went on to die State Tournament and was immediately beaten. Such a shortchange was a grave disap- pointment for Auburn, but we kept our pride every step of die way. 14
