Gridders Are Rewarded Trophies, letters, entertainment, speeches, and mama's cooking are the main attractions at the annual football mothers' banquet held in the Sidney Senior High School cafeteria. This is a time when all bumps and bruises are forgotten, and the only remembrance will be the gridders' awards. Football means many things to different peo- ple. To a youngster it is a dream. Every tot wants to be a football hero. To a father, it is a proud moment to say, That's my boylv when his son makes a sizeable gain or catches a pass. To a mother, it is a continual dread. Mom sits in the stands covering her eyes every time she hears the pads clash for fear her beloved has been injured. But to a high school competitor, it is an ultimate desire. A youngster practices four nights a week-two hours a night-to re- present his school for forty-eight minutes on the gridiron. With Awards And Food Football is more than a sport, it is a creator of sportsmanship, a teacher of life's ups and downs, and it provides a path for youth to fol- low in later life. ln addition to all this, a player is entertained at a banquet. At the close of the grid campaign, the Football Mothers' Club put on an annual feast for their sons. For the second straight year, the banquet was held in the new high school. As is customary, after the main course, a guest speaker is announced and awards are given out. Receiving awards this year were Ken Spaugey, best defensive lineman, Phil Allen, best defen- sive back and the Dick Flanagan Award as the most outstanding player, John Kolley, best of- fensive backg and Bill Fries was awarded the Mom Collin's Sportsmanship Award. Mrs. Marie Lerch, president of the club, gave traditional gold footballs to all graduating gridders. The guest speaker was the Cleveland Brown's kick- ing specialist, Sam Baker. 25 THE MONARCH MACHINE TOOL CO.
