This year ' s Junior Football team was a much improved squad over last year ' s. This year we played a total of seven games, six of which were regular league games. The big spark on our offensive squad was our quarterback, Brad Digger Wilson, who scored a total of 50 points for the season, an average of better than eight points a game. Next in rushing and scoring came Bob Fleetfoot Simons with an average of four points a game. Then came Bob Tough Fitches with a total of four touchdowns and one game misconduct. Last, but far from least, was Andy Steamroller Konopacki, with three touchdowns. Andy was always right in there for the really big yardage when we were in dire need of it. In our school, as in all others, the football team is only as strong as its weakest linesman. We had a fine line, spearheaded by Harry Olesch, Barry Segal, Paul McGovern, and Harold Silver. With a few breaks, McLaughlin would have been sporting a C.O.S.S.A. Junior Football Trophy. Hearty thanks to our two fine coaches, Mr. Hughes and Mr. MacLean. :k 53

Senior jroolball BACK ROW L-R: Mr. Kolodzie, Jim Justinski, Don Woods, John Holmes, Steve Harding, Ross Senkiw, Joe Lipiec, Jim McPherson, Warren Magill, Mike Clarke, Rod Lesage, Brian Wilson, Alin Anderson, Mr. Smiale ' k. FRONT ROW: Harvey Haggerty, Ross Taylor, Jim Lawrence, Jim Waddel, Ludwig Kern, , Doug Weeks, Jim Kitchko, Lou Vanderheyden, Dave Sampson, Doug Barr, Steve Salter, Jerry Mays. Although McLaughlin got off to a bad start this year, the coaches, Mr. Kolodzie and Mr. Smialek, were able to lead the team out of their traditional cellar position to within two points of second place. The team started the season with two losses, 15-14 to Central, and 13-7 to Donevan. It was finally proven that McLaughlin did have a senior team when they defeated O ' Neill by a 2-0 score. Donevan spoiled McLaughlin ' s bid for its second win. Out to show their 2-0 victory was no mistake, the seniors registered their final success of the season against Central with a score of 20-18. Unfortunately, to end the season, O ' Neill turned the tables somewhat, and handed a 45-14 loss to McLaughlin. Quarterback Doug Barr combined with his ends, Jerry Mays, and Joe Lipic, for eight TD ' s. Steve Salter and Jim Lawrence, the ground gainers of the team, and Doug Barr, each ran over for six points, which, with two singles and two conversions, completed the highest scoring season for McLaughlin. Next year the senior team should again improve its record, as it did this year; for with few exceptions, it can field this vear ' s team. 52
