As hindsight is always 20 20, it seems more useful to look ahead than to look back when it comes to soccer. A competitive squad can be expected next year despite the number of graduations because the young men who will comprise that squad have a strength of character that did not show up in the scorebook. The measure of that character was their willingness to play hard from whistle to whistle, even when badly behind, and the persistence that kept them coming out every day even after the weather got cold and our hopes for the playoffs had faded. One must play the game of soccer perhaps a hundred times before he truly understands it. If the youngsters now learning the game in grade school continue to be encouraged, looking back over soccer season will become a most gratifying pastime.
