It was also one of their busiest after having a 12 game schedule, plus two weeks of strenuous pre-season work in the summer. The team will ose only four seniors, so Coach Fargo can depend on the experience of the rest of the team to be reflected in the future. K. Nulph, S. Field. J. Fobes, R. Madden, C. Brown, S. Crane, A.

We'd like to express our appreciation to Mr. Walden for all the times he came through with pictures. Also, thanks to Mr. Fuller and Mr. Tom Chaffee, our yearbook representative, for devoting much of their time to the success of our yearbook.
