Eagles Place Seventh In State It all started on a hot, humid August morning and ended on a sad, cold November night. What happened between those two days, Jefferson football fans will never forget. One of the best football teams ever to take to the gridiron won eight straight games. This was a good enough record to earn a share of the Badger Conference Championship along with Middleton who brought the Eagles their only defeat of the season. The key to the Eagle game was the experience of the senior players and the guidance of the coaches: Mr. Knoblauch, Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith. In the middle schools rating the Eagles were at one time No. 1 in the state but finished the season in seventh place. The players were honored at the annual potluck football dinner where it was announced that the Eagles held eight positions on the first all-conference teams. On the offensive team the Eagles had four unanimous choices: Tom Stauss at a halfback, Joel Petty at end, Randy P. Zimmerman at guard and Tim Hetzel at tackle. On the defensive team the Eagles also .had four positions: Hetzel at tackle, Paul J. Olsen at defensive end, Stauss at defensive back and Zimmerman at linebacker. Zimmerman received both the Most Valuable Player Award and Best Tackier Award. Brian exhibits excellent form. Coach Knoblauch accepts the Schweiger Scrapbook. JV FOOTBALL. ROW 1: J. Prust, R.

Freshmen Win Harrier Awards Although the Cross Country team did not compile an outstanding record this season, it did provide good experience for building future teams. Only three senior lettermen will not be returning next year. They are Ron Follensbee and co-captains Jeff Haas and Dave Kukla. The majority of this year's harriers were freshmen and the Most Valuable Player award went to a member of this class, Steve Shilkey. Another member of the class, Brian Schroedl, won the Most Improved Player award. With these outstanding runners in the upcoming sophomore class,Coach Pennington feels that he has the nucleus for future teams that should prove much more successful in the next few seasons. It takes real coordination to run and smile for the photographer at the same time. VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY. ROW 1: B. Schroedl, R. Follensbee. J. Vogel, S. Shannon, J. Alviar.
