Soccer Kneeling, L. to R.: Bob Wildman, Charles Wright, Gary- Empson, William Loughlin. Seated: Jim Chase, Vaughn Buchholz, Dick Marble, Jim Webster, Gene Davis, Jack Waters, Lewis McGraw, Lew Saunders, Gordon llallett. Standing: Mr. Klch, Duane McGraw, Harold Hallett, George Gath, Gray Grantier, Gene McAllister, Dennis Grander, Sam Plaisted. Our Soccer season this year was very successful, considering that this was our first year in league competition. All but one of the losing games were by one goal and we came in second in the league. Captain Gary Grantier and Co-Captain Gene Davis were out- standing and excellent support was given by the five Seniors—Hallett, McGraw, Webster, Waters, and McAllister. Next year the team will surely miss the fine defensive ability of Gene McAllister as goalie and Harold Hallett in center halfback, as well as the fine ball handling and speed of Lewis McGraw, Jim Webster, and Jack Waters.
