 CUSTODIANS: Left to right: A. Stahn, R. Hoffman, V. Schultz, N. Lincheid, D. Anderson. Both the bus drivers and the custodians are a very necessary asset to any school; the bus drivers are re- sponsible for the students, and the custodians are re- sponsible for the building. Neither job is easy. The buses go out early in the morning and pick up the students, and this is a large responsibility. The cus- todians come to work very early in the morning and work into the night, they make sure that the school is kept clean, and the equipment is in good condition. Both of these groups are taken for granted most of the time, but because of them and their work, we can be very proud of our school. THEIR WORK WE TAKE FOR GRANTED BUS DRIVERS: B. Carsteson, W. Pierson, G. Dougherty, A. Coleman, P. Broste, P. Laingen. 12

A SEASON STUDDED WITH VICTORIES The sixty-first season of football at St. James was exciting. After losing the opener, the Saints won seven in a row, only to lose the conference championship to Waseca in the last game of the year. Led by Steve Strommen and Jim Luther, the team be- came more and more impressive as the season pro- gressed. Steve on the quarterback option kept the opponents guessing, and that long pass to A1 Firchau, which came at just the right time in several games was a sight to behold. Both A1 and Gary Rettke con- fused the opposition with bruising plunges and off- tackle slants, but without strong line play this could not be. Blessed by very fine weather, good crowds attended all home games and were rewarded with action as good as the weather. Aided by good line and downfield blocking, co- captain Strommen and Firchau were tops in conference scoring, and in addition our co-captains were named to WCCO radio's all-state team of the week. This was Coach Wilkinson's last year, for he has re- signed to become the new Junior High Principal, and has turned his duties over to Ade Sponberg.
