20 Participants, cheerleaders honored at banquet Wrapping up memories of long hours of practice, victories, and defeats, athletes and cheerleaders en- joyed the annual Athletic Banquet as a final get to- gether. The school cafeteria was the scene of the gathering May 27. Different awards — varsity letters, certificates, and emblems — were presented according to the number of years a member was active in his respective sport. After the meal, award presentations were made by the coach of each sport and cheerleader adviser. Principal Freddy Leger assisted them. An unexpected recognition came to baseball team members. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Davenport, parents of the late Dave Davenport, gave them, the coaches, and assistants a gift in Dave’s memory. Having loved the game but being unable to take part, Dave was team manager before his death March 4, 1974. Highlighting the evening was the presentation of the coveted Rusty Meacham Award to Jackie Blair. ABOVE RIGHT: Coach Ron Patterson looks on as Tony Bouler accepts his plaque from Chris Young.
