SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE FOOTBALL The Seventh and Eighth grade football team, although they had only thirteen candidates, started the season off with a bang by thumping Pike Township by the score of I8-6. The Park touchdowns in this game were scored by Phil Adler, Mike Bradner, and Steve Medios. Park lost their next two regular season games to Pike Township and Orchard School. Then they played Louisville Country Day School in the big game of the season. Park iumped off to an early 6-O lead on a pass play from Dave Duck to Duane Pritchett, but the superior amount of Louis- ville manpower paid off in the end I8-6. FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADE FOOTBALL This year's team won three games from our arch-rival Orchard, while losing two contests to Tarkington Park. This was the first time a Park team had whipped Orchard three times straight. The boys were aggressive and gained much ex- perience. Coach Higgins awarded seventeen football awards to these young athletes. l l l s

PRO,-xC'.f'1lx Qqn x'-9 f00TBAll Park School had a short season in football, but they won one game out of three. Park's first defeat was administered by Cincinnati Country Day, 39 to 0. In the next game, Park defeated Ohio Military Academy, 25 to 0. In the last game Glenwood School defeated Park, 40-0. Steve Cline iniured his leg in the third practice of the season, and was unable to play. This unfortunate accident weakened the team, and with the inexperienced, Park had a bad season. Jerry Slatin was voted the Reichel Award for the best mental attitude, and John DeVoe was named honorary captain. In the last game with Glenwood School, Steve DeVoe was sick and not able to play. That is not all that hap- pened. Jack Schwomeyer went out of the game with a fractured wrist, and George Downing was taken out after getting hit in the chest. Varsity letters were given to the following boys: Gerald Slatin, David Young, Samps McQuiston, Philip Whitesell, Ed. Hargitt, Charles Pollock, George Downing, Steve DeVoe, Dick McCrae, Jack Schwomeyer. Numerals were given to the following boys: Pete Wel- don, Melvin Issac, Steve Cline, Larry Folse, Reed Moistner. We must not forget the most important one of them all- the boy that takes care of all the dirty clothes and takes all the complaining from the boys. He may not be on the field working, but in his way he is working iust as hard as anyone else. Who else but John Esterline?
