The credit goes to the boys that made the team as it was their hard work and willity to win that made the season successful. The Spir- it was terrific both on and off the field. When you can have that, you are bound to win football games. There are nine graduating seniors who are going to leave some big holes open for the coming year. These boys were terrific athletics and it is going to be hard to replace them. But everyone feels that their predecessors will accomplish their goals.

To say it in one word IMPROVEMENT, this word means many things in basketball, it means increasing skills, building team play, gaining confidence through achieve- ment, adding strong school and commun- ity support, and above all building char- acter. The seniors of this squad can feel assured they did improve and their deter- mination and effort should be a goal to look up to for younger-players. BASKETBALL COACH — Mr. Yess From Left to Right: K.
