Although the team experienced a losing season, there were some exceptional individual performances. As a result, several participants from our school placed first in both the city and district meets. The most valuable performer was Senior Gary Boyd. He was the best 440 man, long jumper, and triple jumper, as well as the second best hurdler. His athletic ability and attitude were a great help throughout the entire season. Other valuable assets to the team were James Whitehead, Larry Stewart, Stanley Hall, Joe Goosby, and Curtis Franklin. Taking a break, Willie Watson recalls the events of the day. ■K Showing his style and grace, James Whitehead easily clears the bar.
