We ' d live the life we choose, we ' d fight and never lose for we were young and sure to have our way. Those were the days, oh yes. those were the days. 5 America has come a long way in two hundred years, from a loosely knit group of thirteen colonies to one of the most prosperous countries in the world. Americans have achieved such a bountiful way of life by daring to dream the impossible dream. Our forefathers dreamt of a future where everything was plentiful, nothing was ever lacking. They created a form of government, a constitution which gave every individual citizen the rights to Life. Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. They perceived a rich and full life, a horn of plenty, a cornucopia. But even now. after so many years of development their dream has yet to be fully realized. They set their goals so high that we still strive for them. We. the students, the Spirit of Seventy-Six, will continue the struggle to reach the goals our forefathers set up for us. It is our duty, our responsibility to ourselves and the rest of the world to build a society that is safe and assured. We must dedicate ourselves to the preservation of our democratic way of life so that all men can enjoy the rewards of freedom guaranteed to us, the people.

Len Renner, who ran last year as a senior, returned this year to assist the coach. A cadet teacher, Mr. Greg Wallace also assisted coach Schuerman. Coach Schuerman said. The team was young and inexperienced, but a fine job was done. In the one big invitational meet at Richland, Rogers placed sixth out of 23 schools. The Bucs also placed seventh in the district and fourth in the city. Only one boy, Steve Williams, attended the state meet representating Rogers Steve will return to lead the team next year.

Mrs. Heckt indicated the girls ran jointly with the boys and in all types of weather, including snow the last two meets.

Five sophomores and fourteen juniors made the varsity lineup. Two outstanding juniors were Craig Adams and Frank Dreyer. Adams was one of the tailbacks for the Pirates and Dreyer played quarterback. Another good junior was Jim Main who recovered six fumbles as well as playing some great defense. Sophomores who made the varsity lineup were: Eric Mclntyre. Keith Ferguson. Paul Schutz, Mickey Purcell and Jeff Hogan. Mclntyre did an excellent job on defense as a middle linebacker. He also played offense for the Bucs. Eric made the most tackles of the season. These juniors and sophomores will be back next year to strengthen the football team.

Coach Kinzer doesn t mind voicing his opinion to the referees At the beginning of the season with no returning lettermen the Pirates were predicted to wind up sixth in city competition. The team started with a weak defense and making a low percentage of free throws. Through determination they won 4 league games and had several other close games, as Rogers wound up in fourth place at the end of the season. The Pirates improved their defense and were making 57.5 percent of their free throws at the season ' s end High scorers were: Paolo Poydras at 13.8%. Craig Adams with 13.3%.

When you are young, graduation seems so far away that it appears to be a mirage, but then one experiences it — it ' s reality. The mirage of the past becomes an oasis for today. Memories are like wells in the country. We drink from them, and the memories quench our thirst with laughter, and we are forever thankful. 197 Gold Fish Plants Tropical Fish Birds JOHN ' S PET SHOP 6813 North Division Spokane.

Rogers Our goal ... to provide the ultimate record of the mood and atmosphere of the times. This annual is not only an expression of our goal but a representation of the 1975-76 school year, a period of time in which the students of our school displayed endless achievements through the completion of a successful year. This year, a fulfillment of satisfaction, expresses now and in the future, that Those Were the Days. For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? In Memoriam Tracy LeDoux Shannon Erskine John Low Randy Shumaker
