REitZ FOOtball . . . ATradition WithADifference Kyle Hormuth, Doug Killian, and Greg Hicks, who were named to All-City teams, were the bright spots in a some- what disappointing season for the Pan- thers. Under second-year Head Coach Bill Hape, a Reitz alumnus, the team re- cord ended up at 3-7. The season was filled with injuries and bad breaks, but the Panthers seem des- tined for better things with strong re- turning lettermen. In their defense, the Panthers' first four out of five games were against eventual play-off and state-ranked teams. Homecoming in October was a high- light, with a decisive victory over North, 21-12.. Jerry Simpkins and Brett Elder served as Captains, and the team was coached by Don Henry and Jack Schaefer assisting Head Coach Hape.

Taking A Different Route Many students walk the same old pathways every day, stand in the same spot in the hallway every morning, get on the same old bus every night. And isn't that a shame? Some people, though, discovered corners, joined ac- tivities, pursued hobbies, and developed talents! For instance, work and fun combined in power me- chanics tin spite of the frustrationsi, home ec, and sculpture Class, as well as in extracurricular activi- ties. Students learned to work together and play together in an atmosphere of academic freedom. Even though lunch periods were shortened this year, friends still found time to socialize tMello Yello to the rescue . . j even if it was at the crack of dawn. Although some days stretched before us, and the hallways at times seemed long and lonely, most of us were convinced there was a place for us and were determined to find it. We'll remember the classes in which we did some- thing, made something, tasted something, felt something. And we'll remember the people -- Deb- bie in her sweat-box panther suit, Judy's help in the bookstore, Sharon's artistic talent, and Keith's ba- nana bread, which was overshadowed only by his break-dancing. It was, after all, the people who made school iand lifei what it was - without people we might as well have stayed home and taken correspondence courses. And that would have been no fun at all . . . c , ,WmelzivaiW Mmem 14
