The football team of Foley High in 1915 included almost every upper classman in school. The small enrollment did not provide many boys for the sport.
Members of the team (left to right) were, Front Row: Ed Brenny who started the Brenny Insurance Agency; Ed Patka, son of Gust Patka, Saloon owner; Cecil Barthelemy who went to Alexandria going into the fur business making coats and caps; John Galarneault, son of Cassie Galarneault, one time County Commissioner. His grandfather was the first settler in Gilmanton Township.
Second Row (left to right): William McGee, who became President of the Bank at Litchfield and resides there now; Felix Mushel who became a druggist and owner of a successful drug store in Little Falls; Gerald Baskfield, who went to the Seminary and was a Monsignor at St. Paul Cathedral; and Mike Murray who later moved to Minneapolis.
Third Row (left to right): Clyde Lance, Coach and High School Principal. He was a Lieutenant in World War I and later moved to Minneapolis. He was a great singer and a member of the Opollo Club in the Cities. Rupert Stimler worked as a mechanic in his father's Ford garage and then moved to Wayzata; Richard Dedie and Wiliam Bergman were farm boys living near Foley; Leo Latterell worked in the Foley National Bank before moving to California where he resides with his wife, a sister of Vida Campbell and Archie Latterell, son of Charles Latterell who built the Rexall Drug Store.
The football games were played on the field north and west of the G. A. Lutheran Church. The team walked from school down Broadway Avenue, then a dirt road with a fenced pasture on the right and only 2 houses on the left.
