They have taken part in buying and selling War Bonds during the War Bond Drive. Mrs. M. G. Lylerly was home room teacher to half of the Freshman Class during' the first part of the year. Now, Mr. E. L. Smith has charge of Mrs. M. G. Lylerly's home room class and Mrs. Janet Brooks has charge of the other half of the Fresh- man Class. A The day which we all looked forward to wlth dread was Rat Day. Of course, the Seniors were kind and considerate We did everything they asked of us, although they almost killed us. We wish to express our appreciation that they didn't. We must admit that they are a swell bunch of kids-may there be more like them. The Freshman Class took an active part in our cleanup program in which we painted our home rooms, dusted, etc., and made things shine. As a whole all their work this year was very satisfactory. This is the first high school for practically all of them and the more they are here the more they like it. Page twenty-two

SMITH Captain - LELAND MCKECJWN Co-Captain - RICHARD MCCLI-:Env At the beginning of the season the Leopards were handicapped by having no regular coach. They were assisted by former Leopards, J. T. Varn and Tom Varn, and by Sgt. Steve Muski. The season was opened by a game against the heavier, more experienced St. Leo Lions. Due to the inexperience of the majority of the team and the size of the Lions, the Leopards were unable to cope with them. Score - 6-32. For the next game the Leopards ventured into foreign territory, Punta Gorda. Due to the injury of the captain and illness of the co-captain, Rogers Hill was unani- mously elected captain for the game. Injuries forced the Leopards to use an in- experienced team almost all the game. Score-0-25. The following game was with the winners of the Gulf Coast Conference, Pasco High. It was the first time in many years that Pasco has defeated Hernando, but the Leopards were the only team in the conference to hold them to one tally. Next came the upset victory over Wildwood. As the past record of the Leopards showed three defeats and no wins, the Wildwood Wildcats were highly favored. The game was played on even terms for the first two periods with Hernando leading 2-U at the half. The Leopards for the first time this season showed offensive power during the last two periods and rolled over the Wildcats. Score - 22-6. Next week, the Leopards journeyed to New Port Richey for an afternoon game. In spite of the excessive heat and sandspurs, the Leopards held the Bucaneers to seven points. The Leopards showed poor defensive play against Citrus High letting them score twenty points. Page tweizty-four
