Behind-The-Scenes Promoters Vote Mustangs! The team was much like a political candidate. It needed its coaches, the guys behind the scenes who told the team what to do, so that they didn't fall flat before the public. The managers were the business staff, involved with keeping records, and maintaining equipment and supplies. The cheerleaders were the teams' campaign managers. They got out and promoted support for the team. This year the vote was for the Mustangs! ! ! Coaches: George Young, Jerry Zimmerman, Fred Guyot, Bill Vangle, Larry Smith, Norman Henderson. Managers: Front row: Gene Herges, Kent Smith, Terry Rasmus, Gary Brandenburg, Rick Wolfe. Row 2: Kurt Moore, Brent Marshall. Back row: Steve Setzler, Dave Eppelheimer, Roy Parkin, Russell Staerkel, Curt Colwell, Mike Elliott.

Teams Play Running Game Rumor said that Paxton High basketball teams had been transformed into a herd of kangaroos! However, investigation proved that the boys were merely going through one of their co-ordination drills. Lacking height, the team was forced to use a fast running game. On two occasions, though, juniors Dave Steiner and Mike Calhoun didn’t run quite fast enough, causing each of them to miss the bus to an away game. The Varsity team brought home the Consolation Trophy from the Christmas Holiday Tourney, and placed second in the Regional Tournament. Junior Jon Guthrie jumps against Rantoul's center. Rantoul defeated Paxton 75 to 58.
