Hen- Shakers Were Champions in First Year The Shaker football team started off the season with a determination and a drive to be champions of District 6. Their high spirits and unfaltering desire quickly won them this title. Coached by Harry Johnson and assisted by Nelson Ross and Dal Brown, the Shakers strived to play fair and achieve their goal. Their efforts won them many hard fought games and many well won of Participation victories. Captains, Charlie Sanders and Eddie Asbury, helped greatly in the determination to be a champion team. This victory could never have been won if each team member and the coaches had not worked together. Their reward is a job well done. Doug Branson makes an incredible catch for long yardage.

Shaker Grapplers Improved ’64 Performance Although thi s was only the second year of varsity wrestling, the team proved to be a headache for their competitors. The squad lacked experience, but they made up for it with the desire and de¬ termination to win. The team got off to a slow start with Tazewell but the un¬ defeated Marion team was nearly upset by the Shakers in their second match 23-27. It takes several years of tough competition and hard work to produce good wrestlers. Worthy has the raw material; all we need now is the ex¬ perience that only time can bring. With this in mind, we can expect great things from our wrestlers when they get a few seasons under their belt. 51
