clfpcricnc tt both lfictary The 1956 football squad, under the direction of Coach Kenneth George, played with amazing spirit and determination throughout the season, despite the fact that they had the disappointment of losing all but one of their hard-fought games. There were only three returning lettermen, one of whom was Captain Milton Batesg but the team members learned quickly the importance of co- operation and teamwork. The night football game at Ravena on Halloween contributed ex- citement to the game and many of the second and third string players gained valuable experience in the annual Meatball Bowl which was held near the end of the season. The regulars as well as the first year men found the practice long and tiring but this seemed worthwhile when it came to carrying the pigskin at gametime. FOOTBALL TEAM Front Row, left to rigbtf R.
