The Latin Club at Sterling High School will enter the state Latin contest. Sponsor Miss Salzsiedler announced the plan at the January 13 monthly meeting. District eliminations are set for March 7 with school selections by testing before then. Induction of new Latin Club members is planned for the second semester. A committee is a group of the unfit, selected by the unwilling, to take care of the unnecessary.
The Sterling Warriors entertain DeKalb in a NCIC contest aiming to rebound after recent setbacks. Jim Loos leads Sterling with scoring support from Jerry Taft and John Wendell while fouls hindered key players. prior clashes include a 65-50 loss to Kewanee and a hard fought near-upset against Galesburg.
The high school rules committee lowered the age limit to 19 and capped season games at 18 quarters, reducing varsity eligibility for several players including Jim Turner, Larry Braum, Rich Gallentine, and the Kosier twins. Turner and Braun can still play football but miss senior seasons in other sports. Gallentine loses senior year roles, and Kosier brothers miss major portions of basketball tennis and baseball. The changes, plus limited quarter play, may cut into SHS athletic depth while the Warriors beat Morrison Mustangs 78-64 in a January game led by Jim Loos and Jim Tucker.
