But no matter what name you use, he is still one of the greatest guys ever turned out. Besides myself, 249 other people thought so, because they gave up their time on Wednesday, December 3, to attend a banquet in his honor at the American Legion. The program called for toasting remarks, but his friends couldn’t resist some roasting. Among the speak- ers were Coaches lezzi, Brooks, Deshler, Funk, and Mr. and Mrs. Zangari. Barry Etsell was master of ceremonies. Mr. Grant ‘Tick’ Hurst, Athletic Dir- ector for Lancaster City Schools, and Mr. Paul Stehman, Head Wrestling Coach, Line Mountain High School, were the main speakers. Reverend Donald M. Whitesel gave the blessing. Although his main inter- est is in sports, he shows great respect for the music field. Greatly pleased by the performance of the Rhythm Singers and Steve Hassing- er’s stage band, he stated that he thinks it is great to be able to play an instru- ment. “‘l only wish I had learned to play an instru- ment. After all, you can’t wrestle for the rest of your life, and you like to have a hobby like that to fall back on.” Mr. Price resigned from his position as high school wrestling coach for ‘‘person- al reasons.” He had an undefeated season (13-0) last year, and for fourteen years he has been coaching high school football, wrest- ling, and baseball. He is a tough coach, but not a bad one. He is always out to win, but not if it’s going to strain a squad member. And the boys and parents respect him for these sentiments. There is always grumbling during their strenuous workouts, but it’s worth it when you come up as an undefeated team, according to the wrestlers. 250 at banquet for Walt Price Eugene Funk has been chosen to replace Mr. Price as head wrestling coach. To show their understanding and respect for both coach- es, each was presented with a plaque by the wrestlers. Also, all the guests honored him by giving a book signed by all attending, a silver platter inscribed with the date and purpose of the banquet, and a book of photos taken by Bishop's of the memorable night. The Indianettes and cheerlead- ers did their part by presenting him with a plaque and a calendar with pictures of his life from infant thru college to the present. Mr. Price has had words with a lot of people, but no matter how harsh the words, he still had their respect, and to him, that means more than being liked. Respect was shown by the alumni wrestlers coming from far and near to pay homage to their ex-coach. Among these Paul Stehman told of his experience with the Coach, or ‘‘That Thing’’ as he sometimes referred to Mr. Price. “I guess a coach never knows how many kids he’s touched, and I guess it’s one of the drawbacks,” stated Paul Stehman, ‘‘But tonight Walt can get some idea.” Mr. Price is not a quitter, He is a tough loser, but not a bad one. ‘“He’s the kind of person to dive for the guy at the five-yard line after chasing him eighty yards. You're going to be missed Walt!!!”" observed Grant ‘Tick’ Hurst. ‘Tick’ is right. We will miss you Mr. Price, but we thank you for the legacy that makes people go out into dreary weather to show their respect for a teacher, friend, and coach. As the man said, “‘If this crowd is any indication of a mark, then I've left one...” Mr. Price, from all your friends, thank you for everything that you have done for us. ART: Tim Roaten ADVISOR: J.

Poems NIGHT ENDS by Nanette Pinto Our town asleep a quiet night Dark skies aglow with stars so bright As hushed silence fills the air Darkness seems to set with care The morning comes with early light As day begins it sheds the night.
