Symbolic of their classmates dreams, Janet Brunton, Gil Hirschy, Lou Ann Smith, Peggy Myers, Stu Bouman, and Lloyd Siefr- ing stand united as representatives of Homecoming, yet divided as they compete for the throne. Sometimes it is so hard to get up in the morning, knowing what is ahead of me. It seems like all the problems, all the challenges that I used to think about as being out there some- where have closed in on me. They have become a part of my life. It ' s kind of scarey in a way, and yet it is a relief to face them . . . they are no longer part of the unknown. It ' s a good feeling to be working to constructively change things, rather than sitting around worrying that some- day I ' ll have to face prob- lems that maybe I can ' t han- dle.

Jon Stevens, senior, who was injured for two games, paced the rushing with 951 yards while Mike Ridgewoy, senior, led the scoring for both Bellmont and the county with 54 points on six touchdowns.

On the receiving end, Tim Brazill, sopho- more, caught eight aerial tosses for 1 63 yards and two touchdowns. Chris DesJean, sophomore, carried the ball 40 times for 268 yards to lead in the rushing depart- ment. Coach Robert Pilkington led his freshmen to a 3- 2-1 record with Rick Schauss completing only nine of 41 passes for a surprising 410 yards.
