This year's wrestling team start- ed the season off with two wins before falling to their last four opponents and placing fifth at the Clearfield Tournament. In- juries and other problems hurt the small squad. Five first string wrestlers were lost to injuries, another first stringer moved, and a few other people quit. The small number of wrestlers in each weight class also hurt the team's performance. Despite all the problems, the team endured and at the end of the season, with the encour- agement of Mr. Grove, the coach, and Mr. McWilliams, his assistant, the team began really to mature. Mr. Grove said that he really enjoyed working with the wrestlers, and because of the small size of the squad he got to know them better and was able to watch people reach new heights. Considering the number of injuries, Mr. Grove was quite pleased with the team's performance and called it a rewarding year. Standing. Coach Grove, C. Corbett, N. Fedon, T. Holmes, H. Berg, E.

MEMORIAM GARY JAMES JOHNSTO 1967 - 1981 , 3+ ge' we Q new N.. est 4' If Gary Johnston - seventh grader - a child, a young man, an adolescent - a person I knew. Gary wasso very muchthe same as most seventh graders.fI-Ie had his good days and his blueidays. There were times when he was fighting mad and times when his super sense of humor would make my day. A delightful twinkle in a pair of wise eyes and a ready smile let you know Gary was up to some new adventure. His quick temper, wit, and mind allowed those who cared, to see a multi-dimensional personality developin. Because Gary is deadfl feel empty. I feel angry. I feel sad, because Ismiss Gary? friend! 1 Mrs. I. Davinroy Gary Johnston was one of my best friends. Hewas kind, helpful, sensitive, and fun to be with. Vverbeen trying to think of just one incident of Gary's helpfulness, but I can't limit myself to just one example, because Gary was always helpful and kind. We both enjoyed many ofthe samethingsg sports, campinggihiking, music, electronics, and experimentingslfm not ashamed to say I miss him. I'll think of him as being in a room with the door locked. I can't see him, but he's there. I Tom Walker Gary had been my friend since the minute I moved here 1978. Helwas always there to play football of any other activity. He was also there just to talk or just to joke around. Gary was always a good friend. , Joe Sniezek Gary Johnston - a friend who loved his music and was loyal to his Scouting.

Sometimes we would discuss science fiction books that he had read. l miss 'Gary so much. l miss our taiks and his humorous comments. And I will never forget him. Mrs. D. Latta
