RESERVE FOOTBALL Due to a strong line and a hard running back- field, the St. Johns reserve team completed a very successful season. The only black mark on the little wings' record was a 7-0 defeat at the hands of a strong Fowler varsity. There are several boys ready to take over the vacant spots in the varsity next year. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Something new has been added this fall, with Coach Duane VanDuzen polishing up a very snappy Freshman eleven. Although they lost only two games, the boys picked up many pointers which will help them in future years. First row: Richard Hasselback, Keith Tiedt, Bruce Fitzpatrick, George Black, Wayne Buehler, Clifford Smith Second row: Bruce Woodbury, Wayne Beaufore, David Wakefield, David LeDuke, Richard Walker Allen Tiedt Keith Barrett. Third row: Norman Woodbury, Mark Eaton, jim McNutt, Stanley Purvis, David Price, Dick Burns. Fourth row: Duane Van Duzen, Coach, Bill Karber, Neil Van Epps, Gary Smith, Gorden Mills, Gorden Matter. School athletic teams are definitely a part of the school curriculum here at St. johns high. We in the Athletic Department are continually striving to make each boy who participates in the athletic activities a more capable individual so that he will be better fitted to take his place in society. He learns how to work with other people, how to take defeat as well as victory. He learns that it takes a lot of hard work, time and effort in order to gain his goal. All of these are true of life after he graduates and thus we are glad to help form the foundation which an individual should have in order to live in this fine democratic nation of ours. 93 01. jQLQ,Qe .gif l,A W.
