"Hard work pays off," says left guard Dick Wells, '66. Dick, who is six feet tall and weighs 165 lbs., advises any boy interested in football to "work hard" and come out for the sport when he's a freshman.

Dick has already earned one letter in football and another in track. He says it's "pretty hard" to keep up in his studies because he has to practice until approximately 6:00 p.m. every night after school. Football is his favorite sport because "it's a physical contact sport."

The time he and Steve Ryden) were voted "most valuable players" ties with the importance of a game he played as a sophomore. "We scored two touchdowns in the last 40 seconds of the game," Dick revealed. With a record like that, one might expect him to be the "superman type."

However, Dick was born with two stomachs! He was operated on when he was seven years old, and this hasn't affected his playing performance in the least.

"Holy criminies" is his favorite expression, and he likes water skiing and cars. Dick is not satisfied with the turnout at the pep rallies and thinks that more boys should try out for sports. The only thing he would like to change about himself is his use of language. "I would like to learn how to talk better" and "I don't talk clearly" were the words Dick used to summarize this problem.

Dick worked as an electrician for the Continental Electric company over the summer. Since he is thinking about coaching football, he would like to go to college sports.

What lies ahead for Dick Wells, number "28" of the varsity football squad? He hopes to "see the world, go places, do things."

"Handsome, strong, very intelligent" are the words 5' 11" 145 lbs. Kevin Flurkey used with a smile to describe himself.

Kevin, a senior, is on the track and cross‑country teams. He has earned two letters in each and feels that "you improve by running with others as a team rather than as an individual." He likes to watch track meets that he isn't running in and advises any boy going out for track or cross‑country to "stick with it."

Kevin has applied to several colleges, Cornell and Western Michigan included, and would like to major in either math or biology. He is eagerly looking forward to college and should have no trouble since he is "off and on the high honor roll, but always on the regular honor roll."

When asked if anything could be done to improve school spirit, Kevin replied, "The Pep Club is doing a great job so more people should join the pep club or go out for sports especially the minor sports." He fells that the hardest part of training is "forcing yourself to do extra work‑outs" especially after he has been running during eighth period gym class and then practicing until 4:30 every night after school. Kevin's favorite "Big‑Time" athlete is Lee LaBadie.

People with pet peeves is his pet peeve because he doesn't believe little faults in others should upset one. "Chrissake" is his favorite expression, and he wishes that he wouldn't forget things so often.
