This is the time for leading and guiding other stu dents as they strive to reach great er heights. There are constant challenges, but this is good. These challenges Ciiuse one to make a self-inven tory. This is certainly the time when student teachers find out that they don't know it all as they thought. They grow along with their stu dents. Hard But Rewarding Student teaching is hard work, but it is also lots of fun. The re ward comes as the gradual growth of these boys and girls is seen. Instead of rejoicing as student teaching comes to an end, the teacher wishes that he had more time to give to these young people. On that final day when the teacher is given a surprise party, showered wtih expressions of ap preciation and tears, he too, will shed a tear as he says to himself. ’What a rewarding and enjoyable experience this has been!" THE ROVING SPORTS EYE JETHRO WILLIAMS, Repoiter 'Vikings" Racers Win Spring Training Ends Saturday, April 10, ended the annual spring training for the “Viking" football team. The sea son ended with an extra squad game between the Blue and White teams, ‘■Although the program went along quite well,” as stated by Coach Caldwell, "it was not as good as 1 would have liked it to be.” The coaches were able to get a pretty accurate evaluation of the material as to the positions that must be filled if the team is to have a good '65 season. Individuals who showed promise are Robert White and Charles Singleton. Both are halfbacks. Lincoln Bond had a good spring season at end and Ray Bond did quite well at the guard position. Seventeen positions will have to be filled for the coming year by incoming freshmen who are ready make the jump from high school college ball. While the White team won, both teams showed a lack of fine spirit that has characterized “Viking" teams in the past. From tackle to tackle the line will have to be rebuilt. Backs are plentiful and the end position must be bolstered if any type of offense is going to be generated by the ’65 “Vikings.” The defensive secondary led by Co-Captain who looked good in spots. Co-Captain Bill Streeter was a pleasant surprise as a defensive linebacker. There were bright spots among individual veterans of fensively and defensively. Overall, the coaching staff was not happy with the performance of the veterans. The big problem that confronts the staff for ’65 will be cohesion. This was the first time that stu dents have served as coaches for spring training. More or less, this gave the coaches a chance to get a better look at the entire ball club. The seniors who asisted dur ing spring training were Percy Wat son and Thurlis Little, coaches for the Blue team. Coaches for the White team were Andrew Little john and Alvin Kelley.
