West Vigo began growing not only in school spirit, but also in athletic ability. As they gaze into the future their minds visualize the football and track field that will soon be completed. 51 The opening of the 1962 football season was the first year for West Vigo to have four football coaches. Guiding the growing football spirit was head coach Paul Blair. His assistants includ¬ ing the two new ones are Robert Thompson, backfield coach; Michael Beach, line coach; and Robert Burton, freshman coach. The Vikings met such stiff competition as Gerstmeyer, Wiley, Garfield, Honey Creek, and others. These four men helped West Vigo’s first varsity squad to a three won, six lost record. The team finished sixth in the Western Indiana Conference and twelfth in the Wabash Valley. Coaching Staff Left to right; Mr. Michael Beach, Mr. Robert Thompson, Mr. Paul Blair, Mr. Robert Burton. - 52 - k Our seniors received many honors during the past season. Led by Bill Campbell, the Vikings’ leading ground-gainer and second team, All Wabash Valley performer, we also had Darrell Savant and Steve Taylor receiving All Western Indiana Conference Honorable Mention recognition and Bill Walker re¬ ceiving Honorable Mention, All Wabash Valley.
