Coach Vancil's knowledge of football and track, his calm decisions under pressure, and his ability to press onward even though the odds may be against his team, have won the admira- tion of the team's supporters as well as the players. However, his interest in the athletic program does not end with football and track, but extends to all sports through his work as advisor to the Lettermen's Club. In the role of algebra and geometry teacher, Coach rates not only as a qualified teacher, but also as a leader of the student On the side lines, Coach Vancil anxiously watches the play before deciding on his next move. body. His interest in all phases of school life is exemplified by his aid to all worthy school activities, while interest in the stu- dents themselves led to the formation of a new course in drafting. Coach Vancil's eagerness to help the students with their prob- lems has won for him many lasting friends. His helpful criticism and praise are always ready for those who deserve it.

LEADERSHIP Wisdom in mind and spirit and the ability to lead are qualities which must be developed within students during the phase of their lives extending from childhood to adulthood. In our personal bridge across this gap-Cherokee High School-these qualities are firm pillars supporting it and helping us to make the journey. While we-the students-are making the journey, Cherokee High offers opportunities for us to increase our knowledge and our understanding of the world. In the classes, by use of the reference in the library, and through the everyday happenings in the life of a student, we at Cherokee are prepared for our adulthood. But perhaps the most important area of wisdom attained is the personal leadership developed within the students themselves. Students with this leader- ship possess the strength of character to accept responsibilities in spite of their difficulties and to strive to fulfill them. Such outstanding work serves as a guide and an incentive to others. So, at Cherokee, qualities are being implanted within us-the students- which will be essential for us if in our adulthood we are going to lead success- ful, useful, and happy lives. The proud but surprised winners of Cherokee County's annual soil conservation essay contest-Max Brand, Robert Mann, and Teddy Porter-accept their awards.
