"I remember that well. Richard Hodill and I were among the many who got a great
laugh out of seeing Mike [Bosworth]make those shots. Incidentally if you happen to have a copy of the yearbook from our junior year and
take a look at the page about the cross country team (as constituted in the fall of
1963, that is), you can see a little joke that Richard Hodill and I played on Miss
Butts, who was the yearbook advisor. Rich and I were both in her Journalism class,
in which the yearbook was produced. There had been a tradition among the yearbook
staffs from year to year, of playing a small joke on her while still aiming to
create a very high quality yearbook. An opportunity fell right into our laps.
Coach Lenich, who did not know Mike Bosworth from football because Mike was not a
football player, nevertheless knew him, although not well, from gym class.
To our amusement, whenever Coach wanted Mike's attention, he always called him
"Boswell". So Richard and I listed him as "Boswell" in the yearbook. We told Miss
Butts for months that we had put a mistake in the yearbook, but she never found it." After actual publication we explained to her what we had done, and why. She didn't cut our grade or anything.":There were several emails during the October '14 to June '15 period, mostly about veterans and their locations, experiences, etc. And a bit about the KHS65 sports scene. Do scroll back to this time-frame to reread or read for the first time, our sports history is such fun!
