SENIOR FOOTBALL SENIOR FOOTBALL In my opening I feel that it is only fitting that the team extends their thanks to the coaches — Mr. McMillan and Mr. Pirrie, for their fine efforts in making the HUSKIES a highly spirited team and also for giving up much of their valuable leisure time. Also thanks go to the staff and students of N.W.S.S, supporting us throughout the season. for This year in our Perth-Huron Conference, the HUSKIES faced five outstanding teams — Goderich, Clinton, St. Mary ' s, Seaforth, and Wingham. We may have lost, but the many bruised, battered players from these five teams can tell you that the HUSKIES get harder to beat every year. This year was a great one for rival victory when we ventured to that place across the river and really showed them how to play football. It was a cloudless, beautiful day when we walked on to that field. Everything was going our way. We knew if we won it would make our school proud of us. Our quarterback, Dan Gardner, played his most sensational game of the season by leading us to a 21-6 victory over Central. I won ' t mention any names because I would have to list all the players and space doesn ' t allow it. None of us are stars; just a gang working to make a school feel proud. Next year we may even bring home the championship.
