Garden Restaurant with President
Carlton Mansfield presiding.
New Football Coach Frank
Jemigan was the speaker. He is truly

of interceptions. He is a believer in
conditioning, discipline and player
commitment to studies, to being good
citizens, to weight training, to not
missing class attendance, to being on
tine for practice, to never staying down,
to never giving up. His speech was
very motivational You can see the
Rams have truly a good coach in tow
with the help of Son Clay and a truly
professional staff in the making.
"Kiwanis members", said Pat Bullard,
"are behind you Coach Jemigan. All
the way."
