'60 Tigers Reveal Reynolds as Sweetheart Pat Reynolds was crowned 1960 Football Sweetheart by Tri-Captains Bob Presley, Macon Smith and Larry Blythe in an outstanding annual football banquet held in Crockett junior high school's cafeteria. It was the last banquet for Head Coach Homer Tompkins in this official capacity and he commended every Tiger player on a Not-too-successful-in-the-win-column but rewarding foot- ball season. Chena Gilstrap, Arlington State head coach, made a hilarious and challenging after-dinner speech in a talk that ran the gamut from football to politics, and apprecia- tion was expressed by the school board to the Spunky Tiger gridders. High school's dance band provided pleasing dinner music in their first public appearance and the surprised and lovely Miss Reynolds was presented with one dozen red roses and a football pendant in a surprise-filled evening. Mr. Chena Gilstrap, Arlington State's head football coach, opens his afterdinner speech at the football banquet.
