An inexperienced squad and key veterans plagued by injuries was the picture for the 1966 football season. Only Jim Johnson had previous varsity experience in the line, and was one of the boys slowed by in- juries. Veterans in the backfield included quarterback Phil Moore, halfback and key line backer Ken Bel- lamy, and Carl Harris, quarterback and safety man on defense. The Woodchucks won at Sheridan 20-0, and played well against city rival Kennedy, only to lose in the last 9 seconds, 18-16. Leading scorer and ground gainer was fullback Jim Edmonds, who scored three touchdowns and had a 4.7 average, carrying the ball 106 times for 502 yards. Honored by the Kiwanis Club for high scholastic average was Carl Harris. Rodney Clark, because of his versatility in performing in the backfield and line, was honored as Most Valuable Player. Mike Schlake was winner of the Iron Menis tro- phy, based upon dependability, sacrifice, loyalty, and outstanding play displayed. The Most Im- proved award went to Steve Morelock, who in his first year of football improved rapidly to gain a position on the starting offensive and defensive teams. Steve Kritsch, was awarded the Best Mental At- titude trophy, and Rudy Johnson won the Ball Hawks award.

Spirit is needed to win a game, and the Wood- i chuck cheerleaders have plenty to help our teams to victory. They direct enthusiasm and let the team know the crowd is there to cheer all the way. - v Besides being at all athletic activities, the cheer- leaders also arrange the pep sessions. A pep ses- l W ,i . N sion is a very important part of a school's life because it helps build school spirit and lets the J teams know that the student body is backing them. 13 , Of the twelve cheerleaders there are four varsity, five reserve, and three freshman. To become a cheerleader a person must try out, be accepted by the sponsor Mrs. Cook, and Mr. Emery. A Cv y grade average must also be maintained in order to remain eligible. .,tj,Q1i p sf +5 Wm .
