Ask a person from another high school what team he wants Have a most to defeat and you’ll find that “Grant” is a very common answer. This issues a challenge not only to our respective teams, but also to Grant students. Being a winner is not as difficult as beihg a good winner. Sportsmanship is a term that irks some people, but it is what sport is all about. Winning and being good sports seem to go hand in hand, but in the past many Grant fans have been far from courteous. Three seasons ago the people of Roseburg watched us nose out their football team in the state semi-final, and we were terrible winners. JOIN Last season we upset Lincoln, 35-32, in a basketball game marred by poor refereeing, and Coach Rooney was forced to stand up and THE GRANT tell our students to quiet down. A team can become a winner, but the students can make the HIGH school a complete champion only by remembering that sport is de KEGLERS fined as “that which diverts and makes mirth,” so let’s have fun, win or lose, and above all be good sports. at SMASHING GOOD TIME Timber Lanes Mike is wearing a Da Vinci Sport Shirt with contrasting Vest.

Lack of depth and experience appear to be Quaker weaknesses, as 25 of their city championship team graduated.

Joining Lovelien in the back- field will be Gary Papserdo, John Strubble and Scott Shankland.
