Balanced Program Is Kayette Pride Through the combination of well-balanced programs, lively recreational events, and var- ious service projects, the Russell Kayettes had another busy and meaningful year. The group of more than two hundred girls was divided into nine families with each family being in charge of specified events. The girls were active in school projects such as dusting the bleachers for football games, decorating the school for Christmas, sponsoring two all-school assemblies, and presenting the Easter program. The community of Russell was benefited when the Kayettes adopted a local needy family, read at the children's library, and made holiday favors for the rest; home and hospital. World service projects included mailing gifts to servicemen in Viet Nam and collecting old clothes to be sent abroad. Again this year the Kayettes were working toward their 3000 point award.

Football Wars Are Tough After a smashing 49-7 opening victory over Hoisington, the Russell High School gridders went winless the rest of a hardfought season. Plagued by injuries, the squad never attained full playing strength. In games against Pratt and Hays Cadets, victory eluded the Broncos by only one touchdown and a couple of unlucky breaks. At the end of the season, two Bronco players, Alan Dolezal and Bill Horn, gained honorable mention on the All WCKL Team.
