The Greenville High School sure is mighty proud of the ‘17 Foot ball team.  Under the leadership of Mr. [H. A.] Kraul and James Kamerer all the games this year were won.

The first game was played with Sharon on the home field.  The G. H. S. rooters met at the High School building and marched with the boys to the field.  The boys fought hard to the last, helped on by the excited routers.   This was the first time in five years that our boys’ faces spelled victory after playing Sharon [High School].  The second game was a practice game at Girard.  Here they were able to try out a number of new men.  The other games were at Oil City, Grove City and Greenville, when they played Franklin.

They had the pepper,

            They had the skill.

And won many a victory

            For old Greenville.
