James, Gary Quimby, Jim Pryor. ff, - Leadership among the Sandites is usually limited to only the four cap- tains. However, this was not the case this season. The Sandite gridsters had 18 seniors and each and every one of them performed outstanding feats of leadership. I am thoroughly proud of the way our seniors displayed courage and pride both on the field and off it throughout the year, stated A.D. James. The seniors played every game as if it were their last. They constantly tried to instill the characteristics of strength and pride in the underclass- The seniors had to come through, we were weak in some sports and needed someone to take charge, said senior Todd Sanders. Not only was there leadership among the seniors, but also there was leadership among the coaches. They sacrificed many long hours watching films, preparing scouting reports and making practice schedules. Two new assistant coaches that dedicated their time and effort to the Sandites were Frank Banfield and Mike Whaley. Banfield was the offen- sive and defensive line coach and Whaley was the receiver and defen- sive end coach. I think Coach Banfield brought a certain degree of maturity and wis- dom to the coaching staff, said senior Ron Hale. Besides not only being a great coach, he also had a special kind of a player-coach relationship that is k Banfield men. so important. . . il ltltfty- ' 3 'Q t '- f S - CD11-'70 5 CIC'-p 15-.. e-'7nmQnQ'E'QSQGi.qq64lQ8 B 2i8152?75?'24ssS,3e 9 ' we , Mike Whaley, -sf 1979 FOOTBALL TEAM - Front row: Man- ager jim Richardson, Major Brown, Doug McClaurin, Todd Boone, Olie Smith, Larry McFall, Manager Hugh Downing.

Shaffer . Q Reigns Gver , ,W Homecoming Homecoming signified a week of hectic preparations for the students of Charles Page. They worked diligently putting the final touches on their floats, assembling the parade, and preparing for the game. When Friday, November 2, rolled around every- thing went smoothly. The parade with the kiddies catching candy, the street rods roaring, and the number one band in the state playing, all were part of a huge success. The winning float was designed by the sophomores and their Snoopy dog revealed their spirit and dedication to homecoming. After an afternoon of watching the parade students enjoyed an evening of looking upon four beautiful girls who reigned as the football royalty. Stu- dents flocked to the game to see the queen, Cari Shaffer, escorted and kissed by captain Roger Fish. Her at- tendants were Anne Burns, Dana Pat- terson, and Allyson Munn. Every- thing went perfect, and all that was needed was a victory over the Still- water Pioneers. But the dreams of a victory were dashed as the Pioneers upset the Sandites in a hard fought battle, 13-0. However, everything was not lost. Sandites had a parade, a beautiful court, and memories to cher- ish forever. 1 -.
