THIRD ROW: Much will be expected of the sophomore team when they be- gin to play varsity football. Skill and determination highlighted each of their games and convinced the spectators of a reward- ing future. The intense games and rugged practice sessions of- fered the boys plenty of experience. Much of their success could be attributed to the fine coaching staff of Mr. Vock, Mr. Last, and Mr. Aramowicz. Sophomore football players often received much attention because their games were immediately prior to the varsity games and because they would soon make up the varsity team. The new Campus was still a young school, and the victories of the sophomores became symbols of hope for future games. Colorguards Martha Korke, Fran Komar, Rick Paus, Peter Davidovitch, Sue Angel, and Judy Paleczny stood at attention while the band executed formations during the varsity game halftime. 1iN Coach Vock, Greg Halm, Angelo Besbekas, Carl Leedy, Dave Noble, David Brown, john Lurquin, Mike leach, Coach Last.

Sophomore Bulldogs made hard-driving gains against the toughest league de- fenders. The freshmen Bulldogs gained invaluable experience during their first season of high school football. The freshmen demon- strated the desire and hustle necessary to compete in the South Suburban League. Although the freshman team did not come out at the top of the conference, its winning side of the record was admirable. The fine coaching staff of Mr. Fazio, Mr. Zoda, and Mr. Gustafson led the freshman team to four wins against strong league opponents. The freshman team was very important to the school, for the quality of future varsity teams would de- pend on their character, fortitude, and skill. Everyone took pride in their record and gave them encouragement and recognition. new football plays FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM, FRONT ROW: Steven Willeford, Patil Dotson, George Fear, Tom Clark, Rich Thompson, Bill Sill, Ed hlartig, Mark Dreher, Paul Homerding.
