We didn't always know whether we were coming or going, but we did know that we were always on the go. s Q 3 E s Q , ,,,,, fv5'gI1gg:2:t1 FROM TOP: Tom Ley points out his Spanish problem to Mrs, Slateg Stuart Smith and Jim Finley show different ' ' feelings about their lunchesg Fran Par- ker and Pam Tucker get an early start on studying as other students escapeg t Seventh graders jump at the chance to answer an English question. 1 Q t a was f ff 'xxx N-Q. hu-gm , N V S X Xxx 'Q-.LB . p All AT LEFT: Barry Love gives John Furbringer a pat on the back during break.

V l , The two-week lntersession Pro- gram in April, 1978, gave tenth through twelfth graders not only a break from school, but also experi- ence in living and working in the adult world through different off- campus work programs, mini- courses, and excursions to foreign countries. Among the mini-courses was a class in journalism, conducted by Mrs. Jones, where students learned the ins and outs of putting together a newspaper and a yearbook. Mr. Gorey, along with Coach Smith and Mrs. Marbut, taught a course in Outdoor Skills designed to prepare an individual for survival in the wild- erness, which culminated in a two- night camp-out in a local wooded area. Many students chose to work in the community. A large group reported for duty at the Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center, others, to such places as the YMCA, radio and television sta- tions, vets, the Anniston Museum of Natural History, car dealers, interior decorators, and the Lower School. ln addition, two groups went to Europe. Mr. and Mrs. Slate took a group to Spain and Italy, and Mrs. Barker and Miss l-laynes sponsored a trip to England and France. Meanwhile, seventh and eighth graders continued classes as usual, and ninth graders, after spending the mornings in intensive courses of English and math, took part in the mini-course program in the after- noons. ,.,,,1, snwinmug ' fx, --.1. -,Mtn -.fmt my 'ii- n1.ww ' ff CLOCKVVISE FROM TOP: Anne McNaron prepares a culinary delight, Lucy Roberts, Bill Thigpen, and lan Simpson examine the computerg Wes Smith and Bryan Jackson do their Paul Bunyan imitatiorr Kathy Fry discovers the true excitement of filing. .

At the Athletic Banquet of the spring of 1978, outstanding varsity players received trophies, varsity team members received letters, and junior varsity team members received certificates for active participation. Meanwhile, everyone present feasted on chicken. l CLOCKVVISE FROM TOP: Mr. Fargason and Coach Mohr thoughtfully pon- der the proceedingsg Varsity Volleyball players share a joke with Mrs. Mar- butg Coaches Smith and Grubbs confer over presentation strategy: Varsity Football players hold that line to grab their lettersg The Football for Youth Team receives their certificates. l 1 :A ' jst xt ' i .......W, . YW., The Field and Awards Day of the spring of 1978 was not as physically grueling as usual - the field was sunk beneath an inch of water. Every- one, therefore, crowded into the cafetorium for the traditional fried chicken, ham, potato salad, baked beans, and cake, and for the first time in history, Colonel Quimby permitted students to eat on the carpet. CParents used the table on the ter- razzo floor.J After the indoor picnic, Col. Quimby presented the NEDT, Most Oustanding Student in . . ., and Most Conscientious Student in . . . Awards, and, finally, Mr. Fargason presented the Most Outstanding Junior Girl and Boy Award to Tricia Hubbard and Carl Walker.

' im-.- The Last Rites of Spring The underwater world was the theme of the 1978 Junior-Senior Prom. The Anniston Country Club foyer was decorated with a large mural covered with painted tropical fish. Fish net hung in folds from the ceiling of the ballroom and glittering fish dangled from the net. Before dancing began to the music of Rus- kin, many couples enjoyed dinner in the Club dining room. The seniors returned to their for- mer state for one last frolic before joining the adult world. Little red wagons, skateboards, scooters, roller skates, Raggedy Anns, and water guns were some of the accoutrements the kids showed up with. They seemed to have very little interest in concentrating on their school work, but they enjoyed cre- ating enough hustle and bustle in the halls to make the day seem like .A ,X one long play-period. The class of 1978 ended the first twelve years of their formal educa- tion on lvlay 25 at the First Presbyte- rian Church. The Commencement Address was delivered by Dr. Leslie S. Wright, President of Samford University. The termination of six years at the Donoho School brought smiles to many and tears to afew. l OCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: The Class of 1978, The teachers and ard members prepare for their formal march, The kids play and ve a tea party in the Senior Lounge, George Connors signs in at the iper School from the Lower School. if , CLOCKVVISE FROM ABOVE: The mad rush to find a seat in assem- blyg Debbie Scheer and Laurie Kuroski take notes on a television program in the libraryg James Wil- son spies on Martel Thompson, David White, and Fortune Thomas as they relax in the library.

The Starting Line New students and their parents were introduced to Donoho life at the orienta- tion program on August 14, 1978 Cyes, that is August 145. Student Council Presi- dent Wes Smith emceed the proceedings which included speeches by the leaders of various school organizations, and, of course, the classic Fargason speech, The Front Gate. After being warned about the skyrocketing cost of textbooks, the parents moved to the main building where the SGA peddled school directo- ries and seat cushions, and the book- sales team of Gorey, Thagard, and Tha- gard aided in deciphering schedules and managed to keep a smile throughout the entire ordeal.

As the students began once again to trudge up the hill, they remembered the happier days of summer when they were free to watch All My Children, read the shortest books they could find, and sleep until 10:00 A.lVl. Some students preferred to be more active during their mini-vacation and were involved in such undertakings as the Junior Guild, swim, baseball, and soft- ball teams, the election primaries, and jobs.

Condu tors and Engineers Heading the list of administration was Mr. William H. Burt Farga- son, known for his unexpected chats with students. Interested in the welfare of us all, Mr. Fargason had his customary Iuncheons with new students. Second in command was Colonel J. O. Quimby, our resident facto- tum, followed by our secretary and question and answer box, Mrs. June Madison, and Mrs. Kay Par- ker, our financial secretary, who balanced the books to keep them out of the red. Mrs. Mary Jane Smith, our librarian, balanced not only books, but also magazines, card catalogues, audio-visual mate- rials, and from time to time the entire student body. Meanwhile our custodians, the Cheathams - father George and son Arthur - kept a clean look to our rooms, while Mr. Webb, our security officer, who usually arrived around the time most students were leaving, guarded the school from any unwanted visitors. 20 DT RU AT TOP: Mr. Fargason reviews the uniform code.

They also had a blast on field trips to the Space Center and l-lorsehoe Bend. Other activi- ties included Thanksgiving and Christmas programs and a Ftead-a-thon Cstudents raced to see who could read the most booksj. The year ended with an Awards Day in which first through fifth grades were honored, and with Graduation for the sixth graders.

ABOVE RlGHT Fifth graders go through some of the ups and downs of Lower-School life. While all Alabamians followed the campaigns of state politicians, we fol- lowed the campaigns of our own politi- cians running for leadership of the SGA and Honor Council. The SGA campaign, in particular, included ban- ners, posters, hand-out cards, and a final morning of speeches before the voting. A The SGA put into action some new ideas and kept the traditional activities running smoothly. Aided by the com- bined leadership of President Wes Smith, Vice-President Rozelle Burt, Student Drivers Secretary-Treasurer Cindy Nunnelley, and Sponsor Mrs. Slate, the SGA put out school directories, sold Falcon sta- dium cushions, sponsored school dances, and most important of all, served as a link between students and administration. The Honor Council, led by President Bryan Jackson, Vice-President Dena Akin, Secretary-Treasurer Carrie Coley, and Sponsor Mr. Gorey, enforced the honor code of the school and conducted the class elections.

The Rel As the school year progressed from start to finish, there, covering the great event, were our school publications - the Gaunt- let, the Lure, the Pen Feather, and the Jun- ior Pen Feather. The Gauntlet, edited by Tricia Hubbard and Alice Young and sponsored by'Mrs. Jones and Miss Haynes, put into perspec- tive the year as a whole. Staff members worked their croppers off to meet deadlines and give the school its best yearbook ever. Headed by editor Jan French and assist- ant editor Nancy Cauthen in collaboration with sponsors Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Couch, the Lure, a magazine of student literature ling Presses and art, provided a showcase for future writ- ers and artists. With enjoyable articles and clever fea- tures, the Pen Feather provided coverage of both major and minor events. The Word of the Bird, co-edited by Ellen McKay and Ellen Davis with Mrs. Barker as advisor, fur- nished the student body with a refreshing respite from the monotony of the day's classes. The Junior Pen Feather, a type sheet for the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grades, had a fine year, The staff was led by Russ Dorsey, editor, and by the sponsors, Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Murray.

The only breaks of the days, otherwise filled with tests, lectures, writer's cramps, and last minute crammings for tests, came at break, when we went to the cafeto- rium to eat TOOWJ natural potato chips, and at lunch, when juniors and seniors were able to go to fast-food restaurants. The best respite of the day, however, came at 3 PM. when we could at last race to our cars, go home, and prepare for the next days work. tilt! 1 y ' , A Al l 'jf l i itll? - A kk .5 gif! 5 bt.

Thanks to the efforts of our own Bowen Woodruff, Executive Council president, the year got off to a quick start with the orientation pro- gram followed by a street dance in the YMCA parking lot. Youth and City Government, coordinated by Carrie Coley and Beth Lawrence, allowed Hi- Y members to gain experience in city and state governments. The entire slate of meetings was geared towards Youth Legislature in Montgomery where Hi-Y'ers from all across Ala- bama took over the state government for a weekend.

R va The Key Club, led by President Jeff Monroe, also had a very active year. Their community projects included raising money through a book drive for the Boy's ranch, painting lines in the school parking lot, and collecting money for the Museum Mummiesf' Besides community service projects, the club also sent members to the weekly Kiwanis Club meetings where they received information concerning activities in our community, The 1978 Teen-Involvement group consisted of sophomores, juniors, and seniors interested in relating their knowledge of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and sex to elementary school students in the fifth and sixth grades. Every six weeks one boy and one girl went to each of the elementary schools to discuss student problems. E This year's Teen-Topics program was participated in by area high school students and hosted by a disc jockey from WDNG. At their weekly meetings, the students discussed issues cur- rently in the news.

The club, coached by Mr. Dudley Ftey- nolds, lost twice to Saks, including the finals of the County Tournament, but despite freezing weather, defeated all the other teams they played. The Fellowship of Christian Students, which was open to seventh through twelfth graders, met every Wednesday in an open, relaxed atmos- phere. Mrs. Ftobert Dillon, CSusie and l.eigh's motherj the sponsor and adviser, kept each meet- ing moving with an opening and closing prayer and a spiritual program, The Seventh Grade Art Club, under Mrs. Couch's guidance, created three-dimensional plaster sculptures by bringing utensils from home with which to carve.

They were some of the most avid sup- porters of the football team, winning the spirit stick for the last regular season game. BELOW: Eighth graders present their version ofthe senior lounge on skit night. 43 The ninth graders found the first year of high school to be a very special one. They were finally able to fake a bigger part in homecoming activities and to participate in lntersession.

The Junior Class found a load of surprises waiting for them this year. The biggest surprise came in the fashion of the hardest courses they had ever seen at Donoho. More than once, several juniors rushed to the office to sign out, only to dis- cover that their names had been obliterated from the sign-out sheet because of deficiency reports. The juniors, themselves, surprised the rest of the school at Homecoming with their first funny skit ever fa scene from the future Aldous Hux- ley would have admiredj, and with Picking Up Speed their winning of the spirit stick.

Several notable guests visited us including alumnus Max Mat- thews Cclass of 19731, who sub- stituted for several teachers. In February, our American Field Service Exchange Students, Erik Larsen and Laurie Hodas, arrived from Scarsdale, New York for a two week sample of Southern hospitality, cornbread, and drawl with Ftay Wheeler and Mary Laurie Johnson, respec- tively. Ray and Mary Laurie later went across the Mason-Dixon line for a two week stay with Erik and Laurie. ln addition to finding new faces in the halls, we found lying about the school bobble socks, college brochures, and seventh graders with heads sore from the rapping of rings by juniors. CThese items were remnants of Fifties Day, College Day, and the arrival of the juniors' class rings, respectivelyj Finally, one of the very special events this year was our ten year re-evaluation by the Southern Association for Secondary Schools and Colleges. Dr. Edna Earl Mullins and her panel of dis- tinguished teachers from schools and colleges around the state sat in on classes, inspected facilities, and talked with teachers and stu- dents for three days in Novem- ber. The Committee found us to be in tip top shape: however, they did make several sugges- tions concerning expansion of the school's facilities. r 1 1 L FROM TOP LEFT.

The Ural Tradition ln English, history, French, and Spanish classes, students gained knowledge in the litera- ture, customs, grammar, and language usage both of our own country and of other countries. Students discussed everything from poetry, short stories, novels, and pronunciation in English and foreign language classes to the most significant dates and important happenings of different races and cultures in history courses. Some seniors participated in advanced place- ment CA.P.j English and history classes and had the chance to earn college credit by taking spe- cial exams at the end of the year. An acceptable score on these exams gave students college credit at many colleges. Most students who took a foreign language joined either the French or Spanish Club. The French Club, led by President Alice Young, Vice- President Cathy Sarrell, Secretary Jan French, Treasurer Anne McNaron, Chaplains Mary Laurie Johnson and Dena Akin, and Chef de Chant Cena Brown, and sponsored by Mrs. Jones, had several parties at which they prepared French food. Several members of the club participated in the annual statewide French Convention in Tus- caloosa where, in the Spring of 1978, lan Simp- son received first place in second year individual oral competition. The officers of the Spanish Club: President Carl Walker, Vice-President Cindy Nunnelley, Secre- tary-Treasurer Susie Dillon, and Sponsor Mrs. Slate, organized the club's activities. They had several parties at which they ate Spanish food, presented skits, played bingo, and worked on crossword puzzles in Spanish.

Sums and Bumbs Members of Mu Alpha Theta, an honor- ary club for math students with a B average in all classes, made geometric Christmas ornaments, played mathematical games, and listened to speeches on mathematical subjects. The club was led by President Tricia Hubbard, Vice-President Carl Walker, Secretary-Treasurer Ellen McKay, and Sponsors Mrs. Tiller and Mrs. Wingo. ln math classes, Mrs. Tiller, Mrs. Wingo, and Mrs. Quattlebaum did their best Cmost of the timeb to make math interesting. Stu- dents struggled to understand assorted incomprehensible terms and methods that some of us suspected had been thought up by the teachers themselves to punish us. In the Science Department, Mr. Gorey once again terrorized some of his students with surprise explosions and all of his stu- dents with his crip tests while Mrs. Gib- bins and Mrs. Quattlebaum busily exposed others to dead pigs and other interesting information. The science teachers also sponsored the Senior-High and Junior-High Science Clubs. The senior-high club officers, Presi- dent Rhett Austin, Vice-President Carl Walker, and Secretary Carrie Coley, along with Mr. Gorey, provided scientific speak- ers and arranged for an interesting field trip to the Anniston Museum of Natural History. The junior-high group, led by President Matt Everett, Vice-President Eric Bee, Sec- retary Martha Minshew, and Sponsor Mrs. Ouattlebaum, was entertained by Mr. Gor- ey's lab experiments demonstrating lasar beams and other phenomena.

Changes of Pace Five courses served as breaks in the everyday Donoho curriculum. Two of these were required while the other three were offered to stu- dents who had interests in the spe- cial areas. For some, P.E. provided a nice change from a day of scholastic curriculum, for others, it was the hardest and most tedious period of the day. Regardless of the point of view, P.E. remained a manditory class for all students. Driver's Edu- cation was manditory for all future drivers.

With eight varsity players returning and seven new players, most with at least a year of playing for the Junior Varsity, the team had more experience than ever before. Besides regular practices and games, the players worked on and improved their skills during a weeks trip to Floridag an invitational tournament with top state rivals Montgomery Academy and Cliog and a county volleyball clinic directed by Noona Kennard, coach of Bradshaw, the 1977 4-A state champions. The team's great success was due to the players' desire to win and to Coach lvlarbut's desire to advance the range of the players' abilities. Despite a lag in the sport's development in the county, Mrs. Marbut man- aged to keep the team in step with the rest ofthe state.

Basic Trainin For the first time in five years, Donoho fielded a B-Team football unit. Coaches Phil Johnson and Bruce Parris were in charge of the team which posted a 1-4 won-lost record in action against county high schools. The junior Falcons gained valuable game experience which will be helpful in varsity competition. Once again, the Football for Youth Falcons played their games at Ezell Park under the supervision of Coach Carroll Cato. After two straight years of losing, the baby Falcons pulled off a victory and ended up the season with a record of 1-7. Another relatively new team, the Junior Var- sity Volleyball Team, had a good season despite the tact that only one of its members had ever played on a volleyball team before, The team got an early jump on learning the ups and downs of volleyball by practicing this sum- mer with the help of Coach Karen Hester. The benefits of their long practice sessions showed i especially at the end ot the season when l Sonya Walley was placed on the Junior-Varsity All-County Volleyball Team.

He wasn't just blowing hot air, either. Unpredictable offense and sticky defense rolled over opponent after opponent, and when the smoke had cleared, the senior-led team found themselves with ten straight wins and a berth in the state playoffs. The season opened with an impressive victory over 1975 state champs Panburne when Quarter- back Jeff Monroe quickly showed that the offense could throw the football anytime during a game. The following week, though beset by penalties, the team didn't need a wooden horse to dismantle the Tro- jans of Gaylesville. The third victory, over White Plains, was the sweetest yet: behind the powerful running of Tom Moore, Bryan Jackson, and David Morgan, the offense exploded for over 300 yards, while the defense, led by Iinebackers Jack Swift and Tom Moore, held the Wildcats to fewer than 100 yards total gain, The next week, the West End Patriots brought their seventh- ranked-in-the-state team to our sta- dium with intentions of extending their own undefeated record. The Falcons had other plans, however, and after a shaky first quarter, pulled oft a minor upset. The next victory, against the Purple Devils of Ragland, insured a playoff spot for the team. Next came three straight on-the- road victories. First, Cedar Bluffs Tigers were unable to contain the passing combination of Monroe to Wes Smith. Then, Friday the 13th proved to be no iinx as the Bulldogs of Gaston succumbed to make it seven wins. For number eight, the Falcons traveled to Montgomery to defeat the Trinity Academy before many state officials including Gov- ernor Wallace.

Though Donoho jumped out to a quick 20-O lead in the first half, and Bryan Jackson opened the second half with an electrifying 90-yard touch- down kickoff return, the Silent War- riors hung tough and made the Fal- cons fight for a 42-26 win. ln the last regular-season game, David Morgan led the offensive charge against Spring Garden with a 92-yard touchdown scamper Clongest TD of the yearb in the first quarter. The season's finale came against the speedy Wadley Bull- dogs in the first round of the state playoffs. The fired up Bulldogs were the best team of the night, and turned the game into a runaway. Finally, five seniors - Bryan Jackson, David Morgan, Tom Moore, Jeff Monroe, and Wes Smith - received honorable mention in the All-County voting to cap off a season in which the Falcons went undefeated in the regular season and made the trip to the playoffs, both unprecedented events in our football history.

The Falcon Has Landed Homecoming week started off with the announce- ment of five straight wear-what-you-want-to days, and got better and better. Everyone sacrificed a tie- free and skirt-free day to pose for one of the pictures on pages 26 and 27. Other festivities included skit night Cwith performances which ranged from sev- enth graders' reactions to candy to irreverent imita- tions of lvlr. Gorey and Mr. Fargasonj, the bontire, and, of course, the Friday night win over Ragland. The victory set the mood for the big finishes to the week, the Homecoming dance Cwhere ninth through twelfth graders danced to the music of Ftuckus in the cafetoriumb, and the Seventh and Eighth Grade disco party in the gym.

Junior Jumpers The enthusiastic Junior Varsity Cheer- leaders reflected the spirit of the lower grades. They led cheers for the Football B and Junior Varsity Basketball Teams. They also contributed to the Homecoming spirit by cheering with the Varsity Cheerleaders at the bonfire and the Homecoming football game. Along with their usual cheerleading duties, the Junior Varsity girls also per- formed musical routines at some of the bas- ketball games. The Junior Varsity A Basketball Team, handicapped by a lack of height, fell upon hard times against the taller county teams. Coach Grubbs was ably assisted by Coach Carroll Cato. Meanwhile, Junior Class mem- ber, John Holladay, coached the B Team, most of whom were getting their first experi- ence in playing Donoho basketball.

The start of basketball practice was set back one week by the state football playoffs. Coach Smith compensated, however, by subjecting his players to an exhausting conditioning program, and despite their moanings and groanings, the Falcons were ready for their November 28 season opener against Cedar Bluff. As was the case in football, the Varsity Basketball Team was basi- cally a senior-led group, and their years of past experience frequently paid off in close situations. After three previous unsuccessful encounters with White Plains in the regular season, the Fal- cons pulled off the most exciting victory of the year against the Wildcats - a win which gave us our first ever area championship. The A-team members were Sophomore Roger Smith, Junior Mark Jackson, and Seniors Minton Edwards, Sam Johnson, Wes Smith, Tom Moore, Jeff Monroe, Captain David Morgan, and Bryan Jackson. Both Jackson and Moore received All-Area Tourna- ment honors, and Jackson was named to the All- County Team. The Varsity B Team was coached by Randy Coleman, a senior at Jacksonville State Univer- sity. Often described as a bunch of Sumos, the B Team has a very successful season, compiling a 12-7 record.

They gave half- time shows at basketball games and had one large performance of their own. They also competed in the state gymnastics meet where Carrie Coley placed third in the floor exer- cise, third in the vault, sixth in the beam, and fifth all-around, and Janet Webb and Kristin Manthey made high scores in their division in the floor exercise. Several other students competed for the Y.M.C.A. swim team, swim- ming against teams as near as Gadsden and as far away as Ten- nessee. Unlike other school ath- letes, these swimmers sacrificed several weekends to compete. The team was trained and coached by Deida Allen. The 1978 Golf Team also had a winning season with six wins and four losses. They placed third in the Area Tournament, but failed to qualify for the State Tournament. Since the team did not lose any members, they expected to have an especially strong 1979 season.

The team, by the end of the season, racked up one loss to 4-A Champions Mountain Brook and nine wins. The girls also smashed their way to big wins in tournament play by placing second in the Huntsville Tournament Closing once again to Mountain Brookj, first in the sectional tourna- ment, and second in state competition. The Boys' Tennis Team also smashed its way to a second-place finish in the state tournament. Before this great finish, the team compiled a record of seven wins and three losses against some of the largest schools in the state, and, despite a bad start in the Huntsville Tournament, got into top form to defeat Sylacauga to capture the first place trophy in the sectionals. l l i 2 FROM TOP: Kenneth Davis is ready, come what mayg Hammond Reynolds keeps on his toesg Ray Wheeler leaves the court after fin- ishing off another opponentg Miller Sproull never takes his eye off the ballg The Boys' Tennis Team fMiller Sproull, Flay Wheeler, and Sam Johnsonj. 104 AT RIGHT: The Softball Team fkneel- ing - Nancy Cauthen, Drue Frazier, Dena Akin, and Sally Speer, standing -Nancy King, Anne Hamner, Marcle King, Maurice Gantt, and Martel Thompsony. sf wil CLOCKWlSE FROM TOP LEFT: The Coaches Hester deliver a dugout directive, Mudville watches as Marcie King goes to bat, Coaches Marbut and Hester impart instructions to Caryl Crocker, The crowdg Taylor Hunter signals for a pitch to catch the batter ott guard. Hit and Run A girls' softball team was organized for the first time in the spring of 1978. Coached by Karen Hester and her father, the young and inexperienced play- ers Qa large percentage were seventh and eighth gradersj won only one game in their first sea- son, but practiced diligently whenever and wherever they could find a field available, and looked forward to future winning seasons. The girls' track team, coached by Mrs. Marbut, was competing for the second year. To prepare for their meets, the girls spent hours doing sit-ups, push-ups, wind sprints, two-mile runs, and work outs on the dreaded leaper. They then camped out bravely in freezing weather at the Oxford Stadium for all-day Cand all- nightj meets against 1-A through 4-A schools in our area. ln the course of four meets, several of the girls placed in events on the area, sectional, and county lev- els. Two boys, John Holladay and Steve Weymouth, also competed in track - both as milers - and placed in the Sectional and Jun- ior-High County Meets, respec- tively.

Head-ing to the Top The Soccer Team ot the spring ot 1978 had one ot its best seasons to date with victories against every other soccer team in the county. The one loss ot the season, against Jacksonville CCoach Mohr's super boys beat Jacksonville in another gamej, came about because ot the trip several ot our players took to Europe during Inter- session. The team, however, recuperated from this loss, and under the leadership of Captains Mike Lawrence and Bill Meigs, went on to capture the trophy tor the number-one soccer team in the county. wwr.-udlail- ' T X x Nwwm X. . s www- . . s N . , g ff av t.t', L, in-,. .. : r'55g ' -531-if 15, ....
