WRESTLING The referee must keep a constant watch for a vantage point. Loyal Baker was our most consistent winner. He was responsible for Wildcat team points. Neal Whiteford maneuvers his opponent into pin position with a cradle hold. The team members consisted of Neal Whiteford, Jim Kirkman, Lamar Barton, John Ferguson, Ricky Hoopes, and Loyal Baker. The grunt and groan season at B.Y. High proved to have its ups and downs. Limited to only the light weight classses, team points were not very high. Throughout the season individual effort was at a high peak. Wrest- ling is one of the most exacting and de- manding sports in high school. Those who participate must he in the very best physi- cal condition. The inexperienced members of the team developed rapidly in this highly competitive sport.

Lehi was helpless against the soft touch of Dick Thomas. Finn Christensen drove for a lay-up against St. Francis as Paul Denham loked for the possible rebound. John Paxman proved to be a smooth ball handler for the 61 Wildcats. My name is Elwood P. Suggins and I'm from Bel- brooker High. The team was honored at our last home game. Each senior had the opportunity of saying a few words. Junior Varsity had an average season. They downed some teams with fairly large scores and lost to others. We're looking to some of our younger players for a Varsity squad next year. With the experience from this year's contests and further development of skills for each individual, there is hope in a great season next year, aided still further by Coach Nelson's teaching ability this year, and Coach Arnolds' next year. 19

TENNIS TEAM, frort, left to right: Roger Portor, Roy Taylor, David Dixion, Dave Beck, Assistant Coach, Drew Lottie. Back: Jim Chaplin, Ned Ashby, Fred McIntosh, Jim Kirkman, Nick Boshard. Nick Boshard serves one of his fast ones. Touche says Roy. This is tennis? says Orve. David Dixion tries out his forehand smash. Roger hits a volley shot while Ashby runs back in case of a miss. The tennis team this year represented B.Y. High well. In season meets the racquet squad beat Lehi and Pleasant Grove twice. In the annual Region Seven tennis meet Ned Ashby and Roger Portor took second place and they also took second place in the state meet. The other players on the team were beat out in some close matches. The second place finish in region and the fine representation by the second place doubles team in state made tennis one of the most successful sports at B.Y. High.
