Rebuilding Year The 1972-72 football season placed the Tecumseh Savages in, what was considered, one of the toughest dis- tricts in the state. The Savages were placed in the same district as Sem- inole, the no. 3 ranked team in the state, and Wewoka. The season's re- cord does not show the actual out- come of the year. Even though they were young and inexperienced, they proved they could compete with the other teams in their district. The young men, who made up this year's team, always showed their sports- manship and competitiveness. They were all true athletes. The coaches this year were: Ron McClure, Randy Humphrey, Mike Harrell, and Don Barr. 57 “1971-72” Senior Football Players TOP ROW: Ronnie Curtis, John O’Neal, Sam Hinkle, Gary Carter, Hershall Hudson, Raymond Myers, Coach McClure, Coach Humphrey.

Why so soon do they fade away, oh God tell me why? Our young ones, for which we live, why God must they die? They've come so far--but--so far have they yet to go. Oh God my son has gone away. Tell me why is it so? My prayer dear God, to you this day, and God, not often do I pray, but hear me now my humble plea, and not dear Lord for only me, but all the parents of children young that all so soon do fade away. But memories dear are here to stay, these will never fade away. The world is cold, this I must face, and for a while I slow the pace. But soon, I must again revive myself from the grievance I've survived Other ones do I still have To these loved ones I must cling, now they are my everything, but someday soon they'll fade away and when shall come that lonely day, I, too, must fade away--into life. Again united with my son, my family and I will again be one But hear me now my humble plea, and not, dear Lord, for only me, but all the parents of children young, that all so soon do fade away. For strength, for strength, dear God I pray. ■ mm
