Honey-blonde Madeline Mack awoke Staurday morn- ing, just a few hours after having been crowned Home- coming Queen, and just a dozen hours before her moment of glory at the Homecoming game. A lithesome 19-year-old, Madeline lives in Pacoima with her mother, Louella and father, Walter. Two older sisters have already married and are rearing families. A veteran of innumerable beauty contests, and the winner of more than her share, much of Madeline's time is occupied by keeping in shape for competition.

Williams provided Valley followers with many an exciting moment with his great breakaway running. It was the speedy halfback who kept almost every game in doubt due to his ability to turn in the long gainer on any given play. Two seasons ago, Williams turned in an amazing record of averaging more than five yards a carry, while falling just under that mark in the past season. At the end of the 1963 grid year, Williams was judged by the coaching staff as the most valuable mem- ber of the team. In accepting the high honor, Williams said in his typically modest way, Whatever success I have had in the past two years at Valley can be directly attributed to the great play of my teammates. day this fall, but they soon got many more shots as the lanky halfback created havoc with opposing defenses. , , x N A one man powerhouse Williams leaps over all-American Jim Sartoris of Glendale and outdistances three other Vaqueros for long yardage. g.,- 3,i-'--,,.-,N-I-E, V we V- k- - - -M --- -- r. t -. ,smwvammfsenr
