Sports Give High Visibility Some soreheads claimed that the super- lative list had too many athletes. And it is true that being outstanding players did give students high visibility. But the superlatives did not simply win popularity contests. If Robert Baldwin, the Wildcats first string place-kicker, had not missed on a field goal attempt in the last few minutes of the state champion- ship game, the 'Cats would have been state champs. But Robert missed. Back at the school not one person lambasted him for the error. David White, known as BooBoo, played outstanding baseball. But he was not a superior student. He was a conscien- tious plugger. Allen Worthy's selection came as a sur- prise to many teachers and students. But his participation in four different sports gave him recognition. He and David White had the same number of votes with seven coaches not voting because of game schedules. w Allen ROBERT BALDWIN — Football I. 2. 3. 4. captain 4. ALLEN WORTHY Football I. 2. 3. 4.
