Ann Herndon set the pace for the varsity with over 35 defensive rebounds. Cathy Smart and Kayla High both defensive guards with over 20 recoveries for the varsity and j.v. respectively. Offensive rebounding was led on the j. v. by Debbie Hed- rick with over 15, and Martha Finley with over 30 offen- sive rebounds. Cathy Leo led the j. v. Comets with over 30 points to her credit.

'AQ' -iii-.M 1 . YL- I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon--if I can. I seek opportunity --not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the State look after me. I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. ' I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, This I have done. All this is what it means to be an American. Dean Alfange 1975-76 is over. . .We must now go forward into new times and new places. Dare to be YOU as you travel through life, don't be dictated by others and their ideas. There is only one person such as YOU, be the best YOU possible. 31 :W - :fm 'Mill 1 ' 1 ,A , as 1... ii! 1 I I ' N . ' ' 2-'il-. I X .A - gf. .-gr I ' .J is ' e ,., A t - .
