H Varsity team readies for first skirmish Payson Varsity under Jim Durrant continue twice a day practice making final preparations for the trip to Vernal Friday to play Uintah in the season opener. The spirit of the varsity is high and all evidence points to a great season. Many talk about state but this week Uintah is the first barrier in a long, nine game season. Team captains have been announced, Dennis Wall, Jens Horn and Gary Powell will handle the chores for the 1969 season. Starting lineups will have to wait until Friday, but from present assignments, the following appear to have the inside track: Gary Powell at quarterback with Dennis site. Hurst Realty & Construction Co., Vernon Hurst, owner, is general contractor, with the Harold Hurst Ready-Mi- x (both of Spanish Fork), subcontractor for the cement being used in the substantial wood and concrete structures, now already halfway completed. Wall, Brent Davis and Dennis Lamb completing the backfield. Up front, Terry Carter and Jay Hathaway, ends; Jens Horn and Jim Hone, tackles, Russ Jones and Mike Durrant, guards; with Brent Montague, center. The Lions have been working hard on both defense and offensive plays and are ready to open this new season with a bang. Making the trip to Vernal along with the team will be the pep club and cheerleaders as well as a couple of buses of rooters. However the band wont make the trip due to financial problems. Too bad, everything about the program is first class until a couple of dollars stand in the way. The team will look resplendent in their uniforms, as well as the pep club, but the beautiful new band uniforms will be gathering dust at school because there are no funds to send them too. I wonder, what would happen if the first thirty or so kids who signed up for the bus trip happened to be the band.

Many businesses, clubs, and individuals donated valuable prizes to the first place winners. The show committee wishes to thank these people and everyone who helped to make this show a success. 4-- 4-- 4-- 'There's lots to do, anytime, any where in I 'tali County.
