Show The Class 3A State Champion American Fork Basketball Team was honored Monday night at a community wide banquet ban-quet held at the American Fork Junior High. A great turnout of the AF faithful enjoyed a very tasty and very well prepared dinner and went in to the auditorium for the program. While it was a little long, it was very, very entertaining. The AF Cavemen Booster Club sponsored the evening, and Bill Pierce, club president, ' introduced and gave thanks to the many who contributed to the gala affair. He intorduced Dr. Jerry Martin as master of ceremonies, and Jerry was at his finest as the crowd enjoyed his remarks to start the hilarious hilar-ious program. Principal Con Brady told of several season highlights and thanked the AF staff. He welcomed wel-comed the 1950 and 1962 teams, and praised the AF townspeople townspeo-ple for their dedication and support of the three AF basketball basket-ball teams. He challenged the junior and sophomore returning return-ing teams to duplicate this year's record. Dr. Martin introduced Coach Ingersoll as Carl "Technical" Ingersoll, who thanked coaches Bob Eckles and Art Allred, and expressed appreciation for their close relationship. Coach Ingersoll introduced the team, cheerleaders, team doctors, Martin and Claude Thomas, and told of the team and his appreciation for them, also the team driver, Reed Thompson. Mrs. Howard Gordon, who designs the team programs given out at the AF home games, was singled out as well as the studentbody. Coach Ingersoll asked his graduating players to maintain the high moral standards they have set, and he told of an incident of the team asking him to pray, with touching results. Captain Mike Bond advised parents to let your kids play sports as it builds character, instills a desire to excell, and be successful. Mike told of the disappointments in the past, and he compared this to life with its ups and downs. Don and Don, Overly and Mcintosh, both presented their teams. Mr. Overly's was the first team to as he said "break" the barrier" in 1950. He intro- " duced those members present: Dean Fraughton, Steve Seas-trand, Seas-trand, Blair Reese, Don Green, John Van Wagoner, Van Burgess, Max Pierce and Don Mower and most had their wives with them. Mr. Mcintosh flew in from Colorado and said you can take "us" out of AF but you can not take AF out of us. He told of his love for all, and his team members who were present: Merlin Driggs, Vic Herrera, Jerry Eggett, Jerry Edwards, Ken Sorenson, and Ernest Hug-gard Hug-gard with their wives and it was great to see all of those people. A sidelight of note, saw the 1950 team average about 40 points per game, the '62 team averaged about 60 points and the 76 Champs scored about 80 points per game. (Makes you wonder, doesn't it!) Mayor Malcolm Beck said that today's students are the leaders of tomorrow, and with these people as an example (the team) the future is in good hands. He said he was proud to be the mayor of a town that had this kind of individuals.

To the Cavemen, Cave-men, Mr. and Mrs. Merkley with Bruce, extended their deepest dee-pest appreciation to each one for their kind acts and consideration. consi-deration. It was a very outstanding out-standing gesture. Special speaker Bill Mar-croft, Mar-croft, gave a tribute to the Cavemen and told of various examples of achievement by Randy and Brian Hansen, by David Dean who was what he had in mind when he created the "playmaker award" which Dave won twice, last year and this. Bill, a former "Sportscaster of the Year" in Utah, told of his relation with AF that goes back a long time, to "cherry pickin time." He told of the fine defense applied by Mike Bond at State. "Nobody does anything anyth-ing worthwhile without helping someone" and you guys have helped a lot of AF people and people all over the state by your unselfish teamplay in the tournament. Bill said, "without the past runnerup losses, you people here with this great team would not have enjoyed the "sweet taste" of victory without those setbacks. "There are too many takers and not enough givers," he said, as he paid tribute to the Cavemen Booster Club. Following Follow-ing his talk Mr. Pierce presented present-ed to Bill and his wife, Joyce, a small gift. Gifts also were presented to Mrs. Ingersoil, Mrs. Allred and Mrs. Eckles, and many fans stayed after the program to see the game film of the AF-Davis final tournament game. Everyone seemed to have a very fine night as team members memb-ers were presented with a picture pic-ture that is glass incased for a lifetime momento. The Cavemen wish to thank the following people: the coaches for their encouragement, encourage-ment, the Booster Club and Bill Pierce for the dinner and program, the team doctors for keeping at least some players Dave Nerdin Takes 440, 220 Each Wednesday the AF track' and field" team sees action ac-tion and last week Dave Nerdin won both the 440 and 220 to pace the Cavemen cinder squad.

At the Intermountain meet, they placed third in large team competition. tettstfJintein?it! Karen Allen, American Fork's Pep Club advisor, has led her Cavettes to an outstanding outstand-ing season. The Cavettes, already very well known for their super half-time half-time entertaining marches, and the high finish at Idaho Falls in earlier competition, won the Region Six Championship held atLehi. ... The disadvantage was that AF used a full forty girls in their march presentation while the Springville and Uinta teams who finished second and third used but 16 girls. You just know that sixteen girls can be more precise than 40, but that was "not to be" as the AF girls, with grit and determination, won going away. With the theme "Give My Regards to Broadway," and with the Region Six winning jazz band of AF furnishing the music under the baton of director direc-tor Mike Chesley, the girls in a very tiring and mistake provoking provok-ing nine minute drill won the crown to the delight of all. The announcer, in giving the decision of the judges, said that Uinta was third, Springville second and pandemonium broke out amid the AF club. The announcer continued, to the surprise of no one, the win- the Cougars and will vie for a linebacker spot this comming fall at the Cougar school.

The nine minute march required much preparation and the happy and smiling AF club, due to the many hours of work in getting it all together, sure did look good.
