Farmers Take Wind Out of Typhoons; Stomp Crabbers This will be the year! we cried, and it was! The Warwick Varsity football team made a first class effort and although the record didn’t show a great many wins, it likewise didn’t show the importance of the games won. At the beginning of the season, Warwick experienced some sharp disappointments with losses to Oscar Smith, Maury, and Kecoughtan. In the Oscar Smith game, Warwick had two chances to score with penetrations to the Smith 10 yard line, but was unable to break through their tough defense. In our next two losses, Warwick was statistically on top, but failed to score the needed points. In the Maury game, the Farmers had the ball on the Maury one yard line with 1:14 left, but counldn’t put it across due to a mix-up in the backfield. WHS gained 234 yards in the air in the battle with Kecoughtan and held the Warriors to 88 yards on offense, but again were unable to come out on top in scoring, losing by three points. In the next two games, Warwick surged ahead with wins of 7-0 and 12-6 over Granby and Norview, respectively. In the Granby game, quarterback Ranny Blanchard connected on a 26 yard pass to Stu Garrett for the single touchdown. Against the Nor- view Pilots the Farmers pulled off a fine victory. With Blanchard’s pass completions amounting to 1 1 1 yards and Morgan’s recovery of Norview fumbles, the Maroon and Gold defeated Norview for the first time since 1957. The next week Warwick suffered its fourth and worst defeat at the hands of the Great Bridge Wildcats with a score of 27-6. Although Warwick threw 44 passes, we were unable to complete enough to make up for their strong running game. We beat Newport News!” The Farmers defeated unbeaten Newport News 16-6. A real team effort was shown, but particu- larly in the limelight were Ranny Blanchard, Marty Bonnett, and Stu Garrett who executed a razzle-dazzle play resulting in a touchdown, and Vic Kitchen, whose 36 yard field goal gave the Farmers three points. Don Horton reflects that extra effort that defeated Hampton as he scores on a pass from Bonnett.

Sports At a first glance we see team members participating in a sport. We know there are many teams which develop good sportsman- ship in the boys and girls of Warwick. The question is — What do these students gain as members of a team participating in a particular sport?” At a second glance we see the school spirit and crazed enthusiasm of the football squad as they carry Coach Snow to the showers after a 16-6 verdict against the once” undefeated Typhoons, a different side to athletics as the females prove their skill in field hockey, a mighty effort by Mike Serig to succeed in the difficult pole vault, J. D. Stainback using a cradle wrestling technique to pin his Deep Creek opponent, a tremendous surge of power displayed by George Baine as he heaves the heavy shot put, a jump in basketball which suggests ballet, and lastly, a con- centration on Warwick strategy seen in the pensive faces of Wally McCully, Frank Coleman, Chris Lewis, and Greg Youens. This is what members of a team gain by participation in sports — the spirit that comes from a supreme effort and the realization that team work is the key to victory.
