PORT WASHINGTON - Last night's 103rd All-Sports Banquet in the high school gymnasium found Roger Lewis receiving the trophy for being the Most Valuable Player on the Purple Riders' basketball team. Other squad members honored were Richard Fillman, leading rebounder and scorer and Greg Bender, most improved. Mike Peeper, a reserve, received a trophy for maintaining an average of 57 percent in foul shooting.
William Honaker, track coach, delivered a short message to the athletes,while presenting the awards for the cinder team. He said that the members of the track team who had to have the most determination were the distance men. One of these is Bill Edwards, who pretty well set his own pace in the 2-mile run at the 1966 "A" meet. His pace, which was too much for the other competitors, set a new county record of 10:44.6. "After the run was over," Honaker said, "Bill ran around the end of the field to the press box to collect his 1st place ribbon. This is a demonstration of stamina, for the rest of the boys who ran in the race were over at the finish line catching their breath!" Senior, athletes were honored with awards given by the Booster Club. The boys received cloth plaques and the girls a charm for a bracelet.
A brief monent of entertainment wa offered by Ann Heston, Grace Haupert, Shirley Martin and Cathy Loader when they sang a vocal version of "I Remember You." They were accompanied on the piano by Becky Bender. The quartet was called upon later to close the program by leading the audience in the alma mater.
