Head Coach Soupy Campbell and Assistants Mac Bry- an and Terry Smith awarded sophomore lettermen plaques and freshmen letter certificates to over 80 play- ers assembled in MacDonald Cafeteria. Guest speaker for the banquet was Richard Dick Pectol, LMC Class of 1958. While Pectol was at Lees-McRae he lettered in both football and basketball and upon completion of his athletic and academic career went to East Tennessee State University where he received his bachelor's de- gree. From there he attended the Law School of the University of Tennessee and was awarded the doctor of jurisprudence degree. Pectol delighted the audience with his reminiscences of Lees-McRae and the football program and after several hilarious anecdotes ad- mitted, l happened to land at a school, a college with professors and people that cared about you. I don't see any difference when I was here and what l've seen here in the past. I got a great boost, and because of the education I got here I was able to go on and play football at East Tennessee State, participate in sports, and get my degree and then go on to law school. Steve Griffith, Assistant Director of Development and Director of the Bobcat Booster Club, won the hot potato award la three and one-half pound spudl presented to him by Academic Dean Jim Stonesifer.
