By the season's end, many lumps and bruises later, we were veterans of the football wars; veterans respected throughout the conference, All this could not have taken place without the hard work, desire, and the unselfish attitude that pre- vailed. We are looking forward with great an- ticipation to next year's opening of the Gridiron Wars , 73

Early onthe morning of August 14, 1961, thirty-four young men launched the first football edition of the West Henderson Fal- cons, This was a new and challenging ex- perience for these young men who worked many long, hard hours to represent West High on the gridiron, Our first encounter on the field of combat was a nightmare, but the lessons learned were well worth the time and effort spent, U2

Both the Falcons and the Fal- conettes have proved themselves worthy of praise. The girls team, coached by Mr. Wilson, has continued undefeated. They won the Henderson County championship in 1961. The boys, coached by Mr. Woodson, have met stiff competition and have done very well, They were runners-up in the 1961 county tournament. Both the Falcons and the Falconettes have good speed and scoring ability. They are respected throughout the conference, be- cause they have represented West well at home and away. The sportsmanship of both teams is admirable.
