Page 4 THE FULL MOON December 19, 1961 BULLDOG BARKS Athletes Of The Month JOHN FURR Our first Athlete of the Month is Johnny Furr. Having just completed a fine football season, Johnny served capably as one of this year’s fine tri-captains. “Jug,” as he is known to A.S.H.S. students, performed capably as guard on both offense and defense. Many coaches of opponent teams commented on Johnny’s fine defensive play. He received many honors in his last year of football play for A.S.H.S. Among them was All-Conference guard, honorable men tion as All-State guard, and check-list. Now starting the wrestling season, Johnny is being counted on to do a fine job in the heavyweight class. A starter in his first year, Johnny goes into this season with experience, and a fine reputation. We are therefore honored to salute a student fully worthy of carrying the title of Athlete of the Month. RAYMOND PERRY Our next Athlete of the Month is Raymond Perry. Raymond is also changing from football to wrestling. Raymond finished his third and last year as a member of the varsity team. Holding down the> positions of center on offense and guard on defense, Raymond performed capably and willingly. Now going into his third season as a member of the wrestling team, Raymond will probably be one of this year’s starters. Raymond is probably better known to A.S.H.S. students a? S.A.D.’s leader. He is also known for his poetic and writing abilities. Many others know him as the recipient of the “Most Original” su perlative. We are therefore proud to honor Raymond Perry, who carries the name of A.S.H.S. wherever he goes as Athlete of the Month. Let's Suppoit Team Basketball and wrestling season is now underway, and how many of us can say that we have been to a game? The teams need school support just like any other team. Most teams do better when some of the student body supports them. Last year our basketball team completed a successful season, al though they lost several capable players. Our basketball team has 11 members. Height and experience are handicaps, but with hard work and a few games the team will shape up fine. Although the girls’ team is made up mostly of Sophomores and Juniors, hard work is doing wonders with them. The wrestling team had a fine season last year and will be look ing forward to another successful season this year. This year there will usually be a home game featuring some sport. The schedule has been set up so that when the basketball team is playing at home the wrestling team will be away, and vice versa. So let’s all get out and support our teams.
