A Team With Potential Although the Freshman foot- ball team encountered a win- less season, the young War- riors showed that they have a promising future. Finishing with an O-6 mark, they played better than the record indicated. Their opening games were lost by very slim margins. Their overall improvement was visible. Both coaches, Mr. Charles Peabody and Mr. Scott McBride felt that a fast start may have tired out the first- year players . But the competition and the improvement they exper- ienced should enable the Freshmen to continue to im- prove throughout their high school careers . Freshman fullback Tim Long wisely follows his leading wall of blockers.

Improved Participation Marks ,f Intramural basketball, hurt last year because of poor at- tendance by the players , fi- nally got off of the ground this year and experienced improved participation under the direction of Mr. Harvey. The program gave junior and senior boys not out for in- terscholastic basketball the chance to get out and play. Tuesday and Thursday nights were the designated times for the games and the public had the opportunity to at- tend. Granted, the games were not as organized and well-at- tended as interscholastic games but they provided a healthy outlet for all the participants. Several of the contests this year went into overtime and the scramble 92 Intramurals Season for the team title was fierceg but when it was all over the season was termed a suc- cess, solely on the in- creased participation by the individual players . Jamie Both goes in for a lay-up. Dave Cross goes up for the shot while both teammates and opponents look on.
