Seneca High School - Arrow Yearbook (Louisville, KY)

Arrow Versus Sentinel On a warm, gray afternoon in September, two football powers met for the first time: The Arrow Staff Air Devils and the Sentinel Stars. It proved to be a long day for the Air Devils, as the Stars tipped the scales in muscle, experi- ence, and man-power. However, the Arrow Staff, heavy underdogs, made a respectable showing. Amid the Sentinel flurry of scores, the Arrow made two extraordinary touchdown plays. The first came midway in the second quarter when onrushing David Shipley batted a Sentinel pass into the air. The ball landed in the arms of Jim Warren who raced 60 yards for the score. The second came late in the game on a 40 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Eddie Laity to Mike Shields. However, all Air Devil efforts were In vain as they were outscored by the Stars, 36-12. Needless to say, the Arrow staff is anxiously awaiting basketball season. Shipley creams the foes.

Lonesome ' s Legend The south battlement of Seneca High School, just above the loading zone, is still MY favorite lookout. The view has changed some since I iirst scaled this wall, but the changes are all for the better in my humble opinion. Many of you Redskins arrive by bus each morning. You look heal- thy, strong, and intent on getting the most out of every moment of your valuable day. I am getting a bit gray at the temples now. You know what I mean; Indians show wear and tear, too! Since I now know and understand how quickly time goes by here, I feel relieved to know that you are not wasting any of your few precious school years. The Kenneth B. Farmer Physical Education Building added a notice- able dimension to the Seneca sky- line. It also contributed many spacious square feet for use by our Seneca warriors during gym classes, afternoon practice sessions of bas- ketball, as well as a terrific rifle range for our JMROTC units, enabl- ing them to shine virhen competing with other like organizations. Those young men rate high on my Redskin totem pole. They are pre- paring themselves to take men ' s places in the citizen ranks. When I wrote the first install- ment of this legend for you in the 1967 ARROW, I called your atten- tion to many of the interesting items I had learned concerning our city, county, and state. All three of these have made tremendous strides since that particular section of my Lonesome ' s Legend was print- ed. Louisville is now undergoing a tremendous urban renewal which I hope you will follow carefhlly be- cause this city is YOUR city. Fu- ture ARROW editions will keep you up to date on ' hat happens in our favorite area. Here is a for in- stance ; I am going to the Kentucky Derby this year. A friend of mine has a box at Churchill Downs and wants to show his high regard for the Indian minority by saving a front row seat for Lonesome. He is behind the times if he thinks MY three thousand Redskins are a minor- ity. We have always been top dog and we intend to stay that way. The Commonwealth of Kentucky is still the garden spot of the world. I can hardly wait to visit the newly discovered continuations of Mam- moth Cave and the beautiful state parks that have been opened since I made the trip up to Louisville from Dogpatch in 1958. I keep saying to myself, Lonesome, take the time to travel; try it; you ' ll like it. But, I just can ' t miss the things that are always happening here. By the time my hair is as white as my sideburns, I may make it to all those great places. The changes that I find most in- teresting are right here under my own nose, so to speak. Jefferson County has developed almost past recognition in the last seven years. Farmland has become a strange commodity. Everywhere you look you see a new subdivision of attrac- tive homes. No doubt pleasant sub- urban living combined with new in- dustries has attracted or created some of the enormous influx of peo-
