Conroy Era Ends With First ln Districts be lust as the Debate Team is ending its season with Fridays off for tournaments, the golf season begins and Friday matches make for a three day respite from classes for golfers. Despite the rainy spring, Prep golfers had a good year. Much of the credit goes to Randy Conroy, a four year letterman who competed in every golf tournament Prep entered in the last four years. According to Coach Virg Beckmann, l'Randy will be missed, not only because he is a good golfer, but also because he is a good person. Coach Beckmann also praised the other senior varsity golfers, Tom Pritchard and 1 im Sealey, for their excellent leadership. With three junior lettermen and an excellent junior varsity, Prep golf has nice potential for the future. Cther varsity members included Marc Dewall, Kevin O'Neal, and Brian Winn. lunior Varsity members were Tom Nussrallah, Tim Schanne, Mike Dugan, lett Egan, Greg Anderson, lim Regan, and Mike Stolarskyj.
