A 1.4ua-...-, , f the ast season in the space auoueu To write a review or summary o p won... ..- ,ww Y ' l t ess unfair to the game and to the players because of its mcomp e en . To write of the many qualities derived from this fine game, both of physical and mental attributes or the process of blending many individuals to function as one, would be repetitious and scanty in its entirety. Too seldom do we think of our laurels and play on the gridiron and I feel these cherished values should be more fully expressed. This will be a hook of lifelong remembrances and I can best join you in remembering our association by recalling to mind some ofthe events that occurred throughout the season. The individual contributions will bear their own fruit throughout your lives and probably without your awarenessg but when you glance back into your high school days to reminisce, let not the unforgettables of your pigskin play be lost. To insure the enriching of these values I will cite some very stirring instances that are clear tome now . . . Do you remember . . . ED KIERNAN . . . how you cracked through the line at the Immaculate game and found your face in the kicker's foot, and then seconds later across the goal line for the winning touchdown? DAVE NEWTON . . . how you watched the ball come down end over end for you to receive for just a routine runback, and how the blockers formed and the opponents disappeared until you found yourself 85 yards downfield for a score? PAT MEAD . . . whatever possessed you to return to action, after a serious injury and still under doctor's care, to kick two crucial extra points to insure victory? LOU MORRELL . . . how you excelled in leading the team to a gallant per- formance against a strong St. Peter's eleven? I could go on with many more illustrations about many more fine players, but it is not always the feats of grandeur which bring out the fondest memories. It may be ' h t tor is unaware but planted that unspectacular block or tackle, of which t e spec a , ' f h individual. James Schaeffer should be well acquainted with firmly in the heart o t e this sort of play along with boys like Charles Kiel, Bob Platt, and John McAvenue. In conclusion, Ixhope these illustrations will set off a chain reaction that may bring a chuckle to your heart, or a tear to your eye, and by all means a bit of happi- ness. I am confident that some of the many fine values of the game have become a physical or mental part of you as a result of your play at Queen of Peace. As I have often reminded you on the playing field, it is more important to practice good sports- manship than to win or lose. This you all accomplished graciously, and I hope you will carry this lession with you as you leave here, and above all, I hope you had fun playing football. Many thanks to you, our athletic director, Reverend Monsignor Peter B. O'Con- nor, our players, the boosters, the faculty, our inspiring cheerleaders, and those who came out and watched our games, for their fine cooperation, support, and spiritual guidance.
