Jo Ann Boyd Scott:
 If you remember, football and basketball games were the
center of our social life. We enjoyed the pep rallies for the games, finding our friends at the game, and yelling our heads off, dragging Main street afterward and  then the dances after the games. We thought nothing of marching in the band from the high school, down the hill, down Main street to the Central football field. Have you ever had such carefree days since?

FOOTBALL
I copied this from an old "Ocksheperida", and I think it is the spring of 1952.
I hope someone will e-mail me if this date is wrong. I am quoting the article:

This month, a nationally distributed high school magazine, "Practical English" selected Homer "Scotty" Scott, Sheridan's triple threat back , to the 1952 High School All-American Football Squad.

Seventy-seven boys were named to the national honor squad. Seventy seven may seem like alot but when this number is compared to the threehundred thousand boys playing high school football in the U.S. today, we get an idea of just how good one has to be to make the team. Scotty was understandably the only one selected from Wyoming, as he was selected as
the best prep school player in the state last year.

Scotty's athletic activities do not stop at football. He is one of the standout performers on the S.H.S. basketball team; and as soon as track season rolls around, he will be a familiar figure in nearly all the track and field events.
Besides his athletics, he is a menber of the National Honor Society; vice-president of the Senior Class; writer of a sports column for theOcksheperida, school newspaper; and a member of the Student Council.

Congratulations go out to Scotty from the entire student body of S.H S. on the honor he has brought to Sheridan High School
