Coaches Millet and Clark ReMTiCbck Coach Eugene Millet's Rebels completed the most successful track season in the history of Pinevillc High. The Rebel cindermen brought home a district championship by defeating Natchitoches High, champions every year since district 3-AA was organized, plus a third place in the State meet. The team was plagued throughout the season with injuries, pulled muscles and appendectomies coming into vogue as the season moved into the home stretch. High-point maker this year was weight man David Corley, who scored consistently in the shot-put, discus, and javelin. Robert Cavanaugh continued to perform brilliantly in all three relays and the 440-yard dash. His best time in the quarter was a 49.3 in the ix st season Meet of Champions in New Orleans but was good only for second place. This All-Stater also ran a 49.4 at the District Meet for a new record and placed first in the State Meet. Quartcr-miler Jerry Meredith developed appendicitis upon returning from the USL Relays. Eight days later James Aymond had to have the same operation. Of course, the loss of these two boys hurt the team’s chances, but everybody helped to take up the slack. The addition of Jimmy Gallant and Steve Kimball to the team late in the season was an asset to help overcome the loss of Meredith and Aymond. Leon Hooter, David Funderburk, David Corley, and Harry Thibodeaux in addition to Cavanaugh, Meredith, Aymond, Gallant and Kimball ran a leg on one or another of the relay teams. Van Willet hit his peak in the high jump toward the end of the season. His best leap was 6 feet 3 inches at the Cenla Rally which broke the district record. Morris, Fine, Thibodeaux, Tuma, Dyson, McKenzie, Hooter, and Butler were steady point-makers all season.

Cfxmkij Cophs’ spvrft mwv {tagged despite umJkss season This year marked the first time that Pineville High has had a sophomore basketball team. The old junior team was disbanded because of the new junior high taking in the ninth grade. The team consists mostly of sophomores with a few juniors in the lineup. Under the direction of Coach Beall, the future Rebels did a good job in the few games they played. The team, however, seemed to either run out of gas too early or regain their poise too late in each game, two factors which resulted in a winless season. Looking toward the future, though, these boys should go a long way considering their height and ball-handling potential. 69 Coach Vernon Beall
