No, it's a steady grind, that means day after day of hard work. It means hitting the ground tl1at's been baked by the sun, soaked by the rain, or frozen by the cold. It means practice when you don't feel like practicing. It means sacrificing some of your pleasure, giving up your time. It means this and a lot more. But actually you love it because you know it's the right thing to do. You know that you can achieve no success without work-

Football Never once did they give up, never once did they quit fighting, never once did they take anything without hitting back, yet, only once did they taste victory. Though unpredictable as the Terriers were they won for themselves the admiration of the whole City. Unpredictable yes, because one week they may be smothered by an overwhelming score, then the next week only be nosed out by the prep champs by a 31-39 count. One half ofa game be pushed around with ease and with the last quarter only have seven points to their credit and yet when the final whistle sounded they had scored 24 points. Yes, that's the way the Terriers worked. U The squad had the honor of having one of the finest coaches in the business. For Latham Graham knows his football and his boys. He taught his play- ers with patience and understanding, but with fire enough to make them learn. He is devoted to his boys and beyond a doubt every member of the squad loved and respected their coach. Also in the coaching field Sturla Canale, one time Notre Dame grid star. He did magnificent work with the linemen teaching them just how the game is to be played. Mr. Canale gave up his own time to work with the team. This type of sacrifice is greatly appreciated by the whole team. N At the end of the season the Terriers were awarded the Veterans of Foreign Wars Sportsmanship Trophy. This is given to the team that shows outstanding sportsmanship throughout the season. Never to be outdone in courage were the Terriers for after the close of the Prep season they chose for an after season contest, Blytheville, the State Champs of Arkansas, and gave them one of their hardest games of their season, losing by a 39-31 score. Next season looks very bright for the Terriers and with Coach Latham Graham at the helm they are assured of future success. L ' .'f:::xf'. ,, .X . t

,Z -Q. L ' Tommy Garibaldi ing for it. And when you come to think of it, it's really a lot of fun, it means being with the fellows you know, working with them, helping them and getting to know them better. Sounds funny but from football practice you not only learn football, you learn how to sacrifice, you make friends and learn how to take itg and you have plenty of fun during it.
