ays of futune past Quietly the snow fell on the dawn of another day of Joshua Clay's life Perhaps it was one of his last, life was so uncertain that each day could end with the promise of no dawn. He had lived a long life filled with memories and people. Today these memories appeared to him from a time he had almost forgotten. He closed his eyes, forcing his mind to relive those years, to meet old friends and talk with them once again. The images became vivid and he began placing names with faces and presonalities began to emerge. 1974, how long ago, he thought. I was a senior in high school. It seemed that there was always something happening. There were so many people, each one entirely different. With so many interests, there were bound to be many different organizations and, as Iremember there were. . . Sports seemed to draw the largest crowds. What with school being so overcrowded, it seemed like one big unorganized game anyway. There were so many involved in sports alone. Take wrestling for example, our team was always tops in the league and with wrestlers like Dave Brodwolf and Mike Hoody, who were state contenders, we couldn't help but have a strong team. Actually, I can't remember one member of the team that wouldn't have made a tough opponent for anyone in our league. A few of the guys that were in the line up were Tim Johnson, Mike Acthison and of course the twins Q Rusty and Marty Lockwood J. But wrestling wasn't our only winning sport. Cross Country and track always brought home the trophies, with the help of runners like Dan Wendt and Tim Carter. But the first sport of the year always seemed to bring the most people, football. . .We sure had a lot of exciting games. Carl Haynes and Bill Carlson were skillful members of the team. Then three of the biggest players were Chris Malgrem, Bill Brink and Paul Reed. You could always depend on them for support. Others that were just as vital to the team were David Ayling, Marty Read, and Mike Glen. OH! and how could I have forgotten Pete Loftin and John Congdon. Golf took alot of time and practice, but Mike Wright and Keith Cochenour made time for it in their busy schedules between annual staff and photography. During the winter, I can remember going to all those basketball games. Let's see. . .Bill Bunting, Shaun Upton and Richard Ridgway were probably the tallest of the team, then there was Larry Black, Fred Factuar and Morgan Krehbel. John Parrott played basketball too. Morgan and Fred were on the baseball team also along with Pete Wilkinson, A1 Salazar and Gary VanPouche. When baseball came around we knew that we would have a good chance to place high in the league. Then there were those few that were in a lot of sports. One of these active guys was David Haynes. A couple of years before I graduated there was a soccer team formed. That was such a rough and tiring game. I don't see what Gus Brose, Casey Mahon and Peter Berge saw in it. Some people didn't care for the activities offered at the school, so they found their recreation elsewhere. Bill Latus was one. He was involved in summer league baseball. Other were drawn more to nature. Being so close to the sea, many people surfed. I remember Joe Locke - 1 , ,,,,.. 3 ltr' iii -as are ,, , 'sw , T rr
