Strong spirited varsity Pacers post 6 3 record; six make All State Lakeridge's varsity football team had its ups and downs this season, and ended with a 6-3 record. Twen- ty-one of the thirty-four-man team were returning lettermen from last year. Team captains Steve Coury and Jeff Jensen led the team to a second place position in the Wilco League. The loss to top-ranked Milwaukie came in the second game of the season. It was a game marked with competitive playing and limited scoring due to sloppy field condi- tions, rainy skies, and the strong running attack of both teams. The final score was 20-6. One of the high points of the sea- son came when the Pacers defeated Centennial at their Homecoming game. The game saw unusually high scoring by both teams. Lakeridge went down 42-36. The last two games of the season produced the other two losses. The Clackamas game was credited with poor field conditions, which left the Pacers slipping into the hands of the Cava- liers by a score of 6-0. The Lake- ridge team faced cross-town rivals Lake Oswego in the final game of the season. During the coaches' meeting Lakeridge had twelve players elect- ed to the Wilco All-League teams.

First Pacer rally boy helps promote spirit, encourages enthusiasm Action! . . Spirit! . . these were the main goals of the fall varsity rally. Ginny Dir, Karen O'Keefe, Leslie Rislove, Cissy Hughes, Carol Kuse, Joileen Thompson, and Scott Simmons used their enthusiasm to ignite spirit in every student. Many tasks of the rally went un- noticed and thus unappreciated. One example of this was the careful decorating of each football player's house in blue and gold toilet paper. Another unheralded duty of the rally was their guidance of new stu- dents on orientation day. Several Friday afternoons includ- ed a pep assembly led by the rally. Spirit competitions, skits and a few pranks added extra enjoyment along with speeches made by the coaches and football players. Tom Davis, advisor of the rally, was impressed by the dedication and hard work of the girls. He said, The varsity rally members were extremely self-motivated to perform to their utmost best. The high res- pect given to our school by others is in part due to the great job ac- complished by the squad. Scott Simmons, the varsity rally boy, also did an outstanding job this year. He played an extremely large part in the planning of pep assemblies for each sport and the publicity that was so essential. 14 Fall Rally
