The Varsity Chiefs did a fabulous job this year under Mr. Riley ' s su- perb coaching. The boys always showed excellent team work and good sportsmanship. They were al- ways supported by the fans with good school spirit. The Chiefs spent countless hours practicing fundamentals and set plays. The boys elected Scott Waikel and Doug Longley as captains of the team. The Varsity team posted a season record of eleven wins and two losses. They placed second in city league standings and were the only team to beat the league champs, Memorial. In the tournament they won the first game but were defeated the second game. The boys played great and Franklin is very proud of them.

Wrestlers, Harriers Develop Skills In the first year of junior high wrestling, Franklin ' s team placed third in the city tour- nament. The team had a 9 — 2 record under the coaching of Mr. Hiland and Mr. Sawyer. They were assisted by Mr. Riley ' s student teacher, Mr. La Fontaine, who taught the boys many wrestling techniques. Outstanding records during the season were held by Fred McClure, 103 lb. class, who was undefeated with a 11 — record. Ken Strack also did a fine job in the 154 lb. class, with an 8 — 7 record. Steve Pulver was first in the 127 lb. class in the city tournament. The fall of the year brought to Franklin another cross country season. Coach Egley, new to Franklin this year coached the team. There were eleven guys who participated in the sport. Practice was held every night after school. The hard drive of getting into shape was made reality through acceleration drills, distance running and sprints. Each member had the ability, determination and stamina to run the full two miles by the time the first meet rolled around.
