Face stand Bonn arc International in scope and special funds for special events can be More readily Gener  shape football coach Sieve Shi trill look exception to the comments especially those concerning the generating of the funds. All we did was to show a Little initiative Sher tilt said. Any school could have done the something. The football players and cheerleaders worked very hard in raising the Money to make that trip possible we did t get any special help from the Community although the boosters club said it would help us if we did t make expenses. We had bake sales car washes window washes a disco a Booth at the Flea Market and nil kinds of other things so we could make the trip.

But 1 Don t think altering regular season schedules and allowing extra Dodds sanctioned games be cause two teams happen to have byes he same week end is the answer even if such action is at no expense to the  those byes existed when the original schedules were drawn up and they could have been tilled Al thai time eliminating he necessity of having to re quest permission for special games.
