The team won every dual meet and lost in triangular meets to such powers as Sidney, AAA District Champs, and Piqua. The team's first place finish wrapped up the Three Rivers’ All Sports Trophy for Versailles. Also Joe Magoteaux became the first Tiger to ever go to the State Meet in two different sports. Cross Country and Track, in the same year. 89 Versailles 38 70 Piqua 58 83 Versailles 35 72 Versailles 55 69 Versailles 58 2nd Flyer Invitational Champ Flyer Spectacular 2nd Versailles Invitational 4th Coldwater Invitational 73 Sidney 58 Versailles 3rd Ada Invitational 2nd Troy Sectional Champ Three Rivers Meet Champ Chicken Meet Milton-Union Versailles Miamisburg Chaminade Julienne Coldwater Oxford Talawanda Marion Local 66 G.A.A.

Jeff Grilliot. Jeff Mangen. Head Coach Stall, Bob Marshal. Manager A potent lineup of hitters, a tight defense and adequate pitching combined to give the Tigers a fine 18-5 record on the diamond this year. Although the season showed an excellent record, the team was disappointed in being eliminated in the first game of the tournament by Bellefontaine 6-3 with 8 errors. After early losses to Indian Lake and Graham, the hitting of Mangen, Pitsenbarger, Morris, Barton, and Treon led the team back to a three way tie for the Three Rivers League Championship. Most Valuable Player Pitsenbarger, Barton, Jeff Grilliot, and Mike Morris will be sorely missed next year, but Coach Stall has a fine nucleus to build on. OK Team! Listen up and listen up good! 71 HOLE IN ONE! Coach Wick, Mike Geus, Tim Plait, Barb Brewer. John Swallow, Dave Layman Ever-so-Talented The Versailles Golf Team had both a disappointing and satisfactory season. Last years’ team graduated all of the lettermen. Not much was really expected for the new golf coach and his team, and the team at first lived up to expectations. However as the season progressed, the scores were lower and lower. The team ended in a tie with Graham in the TRC for fifth place. Coach Wick's team continued to improve, and ended the season with a 7-8 record. The team will lose but one golfer and will pick up several good freshmen next year. Led by Medalist Dave Layman, the future looks bright. Coach Wick! Not a bad shot! Remember-All-Platt! Sure wish Coach would get us the girl caddies he promised us! 73 THREE RIVERS ALL SPORTS CHAMPIONS SPIRIT ROUSERS VARSITY FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL Front: Maryann Baltes, Penny Ni-ckol Middle: Diana Heitkamp.

It was led by the Marching Band and ended up at the football field where everyone was waiting for the crowning of the queen. The crowd was silent as it was announced that the 1973 Homecoming Queen was Karen Schlater. It was then time for the big game against the Covington Buccs. The Tigers played with determination but were defeated, 38-0. Days before the dance the girls talk about their new dresses and the guys about their dates. Everyone looks forward to that special night which this year was October 27. The theme was Cherished Moments and the music by Shadowfax was really enjoyed. Midway through the dance Marvin Knapke was crowned King. Congratualtions to Karen and Marv! 83 THE DEATH AND LIFE OF LARRY BENSON CAST Freda Benson Jessie Benson. Sam Benson...

The highlight of the formal dance was the crowning of Queen Nancy Mescher and King Joe Barga. The music, provided by “Snap was enjoyed by everyone. The dance lasted until twelve o’clock, but there was still more to come. The af-ter-Prom dance featured square dancing to the music of the DeMangc Band. The Class Prophecy, read by Deb Fine, served as entertainment while the band took a break. Both dances were held in the K of C Hall. Barb crowns Nancy! Vic loves to show off! What’s Happening? 90 Hermie’s a real cool cat! Seniors vs. faculty in donkey' basketball. An assembly on reptiles. After a pep assembly Sadie Hawkins Come (in. Cindy. Lei's net 'em! SQUAREDANCING! Everyone had a foot-stompin'. hand-clappin' lime at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. It has been sponsored by the G.A.A. for the 4th year in a row. It's a little different from other dances in that the girls have to get up enough nerve to ask the guy of her choice. Everyone dresses to look like a farmer, wearing such things as rolled-up jeans, bib overalls, plaid shirts, clodhoppers, and old straw hats. Games like bobbing for apples and balloon breaking contests were played throughout the dance. But. the greatest source of entertainment was square dancing to the music of the De-Mange Band.

Mr. Samuel Morrison, former superintendent, was given special recognition. Mr. Jerry Kerns. President of the Board of Education, presented each Senior with his diploma. He was assisted by Mr. C.
