About forty-five boys showed up for the first meeting. When the Junior Varsity was combined with the Varsity, it raised the number considerably. If the boys' practice sessions had any bearing on their win-loss record, they must have practiced long and hard, because We finished the season with one loss, one tie, and six Wins. This was our most success- ful season in many years. Mr. Kamus was our head coach, and Mr. Carr assisted him. Our senior lettermen this year Were: Richard Wood, Richard Litzinger, Gordon Fitzgerald, George Smith, Frederick Phanco, Charles Morris, Neal Meabon, James Franklin, and Dan Johnson. These boys all contributed greatly to the success of our team. Their loss will be felt next season, but We are sure the boys coming up will continue to keep Youngsville in the Win column.

M During the last week of September, something new came to Youngs- ville High. It was during this week that twelve seventh, eighth, and ninth grade boys, under the coaching of Mr. Paul, organized Youngsville's first Junior High Football Team. During the season the team worked on the fundamentals of football. They scrimmaged a little among themselves and got their bodies into good condition. During this period the team was growing, until, at the end of the season, it numbered sixty boys. These boys came from the Youngs- ville, Pittsfield, Irvine, and Lottsville School Districts. This large increase in participants was more than Mr. Paul could handle, so Mr. Bennett was enlisted to help him. Although only twenty-Five uniforms were available this year, Mr. Paul expects to uniform everyone next year. He also hopes for a six game sche- dule with other junior high teams. ejf 3 5 Ea
