The team was short on numbers and as a result did not do well at the County Meet. Second place finisher in the high jump, Steve Kaufer, will return in 1978 to lead the underclassmen.

They finished with a 3 and 4 dual meet record. Ten seniors hung up their spikes at the end of the season, but County Champ in the long jump, Debbie Adamson, leads a strong bunch of un- derclass returnees. Seniors Left row (bottom to top) C.

They posted their winningest season ever in their third year of inter-scholastic play. A group of fine underclassmen will return next year and things will be better than ever. 45 The Junior Class Presents: 'Time Out For Ginger Guess whal! I made the team! The cast consisted of ]an Beery (Ginger), Sam Smith and Elaine Rapisarda (her parents), Mark Schmittle (her boyfriend), Becky Connors and Laura Lascek (the two loving sisters), Scott Gehr (the big-shot football player), Bob Remek (the high school principal), Teresa Sedler (the maid), and Will Rogers (the bank president). The play explored the glories and pitfalls of being a female football hero. The effects were hilarious, making the play a great success.

There are puppets that dance no longer; There are shadows that harbor all these. But the laughter has died with the master. And the puppets lie buried in mud; The children no longer come hither To the playhouse surrounded by wood. Oh, still lie the strings of the puppets. And lost the words carried by winds Of stories told children no longer To laughter of children and friends. But once the playhouse was cheerful. And laughter had echoed through trees. The puppets danced gaily for children. And mucis music traveled the breeze. The master commanded the puppets; The gay children commanded him The woods then echoes with laughter Of puppets that danced on a string. But paint soon peels from a puppet, And men cannot lie very long; And children always grow older. And the echoes die from a song. 105 Laura Middaugh Lots of Seniors Earn Lots Of Awards ...
