faCaU Many students were absent from school for various reasons, one of which included the minor injury: you needed more than a Band-Aid. but you were not quite ready for Inten- sive Care. While medical attention was in most cases needed, most of the infirmed usually did not miss school for long periods of time, but you knew who they were. ' I don't get a lot of serious injuries in. but there are a number of jammed fingers and poked eyes. stated Ms. Joyce Dickens, the school nurse. Mr. Bill Parrish, trainer, added. This is the first year in Sterling history that I have not had to go on the field to carry an injured player off. John Winkleman. a sophomore, said. Even though my accident was here at school, no one was to blame. It was unavoidable. John was trim ming bulls' hooves in the agricultural building when, as he was leading his bull away, something spooked the bull and he pushed John into a wall. This resulted in a broken clavical bone. Alfred Lopez, a varsity football player, wound up on crutches because of an old football injury. He commented. It was a real struggle to climb up and down the stairs with crutches. I got help from my friends who carried my books while I sup- ported myself. All in all. I thought it was a pretty safe and lucky year, concluded Mr. Bruce Paulus, one of the football and baseball coaches. Because of an accident obtained at home while play ing football.

These tales of Sterl- ing lore were etched in the memories of students and subs alike, con- stituting a part of Sterling tradition.
