AGLES-U 'T IIED The remaining members of the Senior Class would like to pay final tribute to the seven graduating Seniors who have been on an undefeated football team for the past three years. Marvin Schlegel--a quarterback that could run, pass, kick, and call signals with the best of them. Otis High is going to miss you Marvin K. and finding someone to take your place will be difficult. Bill Folkerts-- Big Gus the utility man. Backfield, line- Gus didn't care, he'd play any place and there are a few ends in some of our neighboring towns that still think an Atomic bomb was dropped on the playing field when, in reality, it was only Gus administering one of his usual blocks. Elman Schlegel- Old VSparky 'Mplaying his usual steller game week after week and always good for some laughs when the going was rough. Swollen lip-smashed nose--toe nail torn off-all in a days work to Spark. One of the fastest men on the team and one that will be greatly missed in the future. Eldon Matal-One of the greatest football players in the history of Otis. A ten second man and I have yet to see a better broken field runner. Cotty scored 371. points in 3 years of competition and years from now Otis football fans will still be thrilling to some of those 90 yard touchdown jaunts. Paul Kreutzer-A fast elusive back that joined the team in his Senior year and played some great football for the Eagles this year: Sa.nka's snozzle took asterrific beating the last few games but always came back for more. Wish you had a couple more years of high school, Paul, but all good things must come to an end. Jim Moore--Any one that has watched and listened to Jim make a tackle A will never forget him. I say listened because you didn't have to he watching to know when Jim made connections. The light poles shook, the ground trembled and a crash that could be heard in three counties echoed out over the country side. An excellent center and a superior line backer that leaves a pair of shoes that will really be hard to fill. Gene Dunbar--Gene has been troubled by -injuries the last two seasons but he recovered in time to play some good football for the Eagles this year. Deadeye is not 6' 2 tall nor does he weigh 2lO pounds but he has lots of drive when he gets his hands on that pigskin and is hard to stop. In a final farewell to seven fine lads we want you to know that each and every one of you will be sorely missed. You have helped to give,Otis the finest football record it has ever had and the people of this community' are grateful.
