“You Don’t Have To Be A Star” . . When a team starts a season with fifteen Seniors and twenty-seven Juniors, an unaware football fan would point the team's destiny toward the cellar. But, due to a talented Junior class and the Seniors' determination not to have a losing season, the Raider Varsity Football team finished with an impressive 6-3-1 record, producing a third place position in the district race. The Senior crew was headed by Al Ramos, Robert Greene, and Elvis Shoaf. They proved to be capable leaders and captains, and were always willing to work. The Junior class, perhaps the largest group in both number and size to ever come through Reagan, were a proud bunch. However, they had to work hard during off-season to overcome a tough obstacle — inexperience. But, anticipation runs high os the coaches view a spirited Junior class and a fast blossoming Sophomore class.

With a basically young and inexperienced team, the Raiders had a fantastic season upon the strong running and sure hands of experienced Seniors, but counting upon the skills of talented Juniors. The pre-season was very successful according to the coaches. Reagan took MacArthur 27-21 in a grueling game. An exhausting game against Temple ended in a loss, but not a defeat. The Raiders held the Wildcats to only 17 points, the lowest in Temple’s season except for their last game. With a 1 7-7 loss, the Raiders were ready to tackle the teams in their own district. p. 34 (I) Keeping with the Raider trodition, players anxiously await the orrivol of the coaches who provide the driving force throughout the season.
