9 am youth mm' 9 Zeng to Ke cztkfetzk' Not only do I strive for mental per- fection but also for physical perfec- tion. My body must be as strong as my mind if I am to meet the trials of everyday life. Through my endeavors on the ath- letic fields I have learned dedication, sacrifice, and pride. I hope to carry these virtues with me the rest of my life. Page 29

Wazahfg 9-Uflfgtlgg Summer ended early for thirty of Battle Ground Academy's athletes, football practice started in the Hrst part ol' August. XVC arrived at the gym on that First Monday to be greeted by Coach Franklin, some of us were in shape, but the vast majority ol us had neglected the sum- mer conditioning program. No one knew what to expect. Coach Franklin gave us a dramatic talk and laid it on the line: XVe weren't as good as some of the teams we were to play, we had a tough schedule, but with grit and determination we would go through the season playing with reckless abandon. The lighting spirit of Battle Ground teams was to be tested. lt was hot in August. Inside the football uniforms it must have been a hundred degrees. Wle were, however, lucky in some respects: fish- net jerseys, limeade breaks, blister breaks, and occasional rests during practice. YVe learned how to divebomb in the airplane drill, how to go at hundred yard dash speed, how to break down, and how to Gnd the shade trees at the end of the practice field. Hlhen we arrived one Sunday, packed and ready to go to camp, we were told that Coach Gentry was to be our new coach and that we were going to learn to play tough foot- ball. XVe were underdogs, but we would sur- prise some people. Coaches Cherry, Flatt, and Gentry Bottom Row, Left to Right: Mgr. Stephens, Harper, Dodson WVilliams, Muncy, D. Gentry, Beadle.
