STEVE KING TOM EDWARDS DAVE ADDIS Paves Was wwww The Seniors for the 1967-68 grid season showed many improve ments over the last season. This is due from the learning under- classmen can accomplish from Seniors. Steve King qupper leftj, who played defensive halfback and of- fensive haliback, did a fine job of stopping the enemies' passing and end sweeps. Steve's quickness saved many a touchdown for West. Dave Addis fupper rightj was awarded Honorable Mention All Southeastern Ohio for his fine agility and all around running abili ty. At the fullback slot, Dave also did his share of blocking for his talented teammates. Addis also made a few appearances at middle guard on defense. Tom Edwards fleftj who was quite a tough, rugged ballplayer, held down the end position on both offense and defense. Tom threw many smarting blocks to spring the backfield men to pay- dirt. He caught many important passes to lead West down the field. On defense he was hard to move and always did his job. As a solid, all-around ballplayer, Tom earned his third Varsity Football letter this year. Dick Vandenbark, a three year letterman of both offense and defense, and John Snider also were leading Seniors for the grid- ders.

Although the mark shows an impressive season, the fighting Tornadoes lost their three games by a total of only 21 points.

Ken was one of the strongest players on the team and taught the younger players on the team the rules of the rough game. His awards pretty well tell what a strong season it was.

Right: Joe Kirkendall was a guard on offense the past year. Although Joe didn't start this year, he got the starters in good shape in prac- tice and was always ready for immediate call up for duty.
