O) 03 CD CO The 1980-81 LaSalle Sea- Lions was a team of many changes. Among the changes made was the Sealions ' new coach, Mrs. Saylor, better known by the swimmers as Olive-Oil. Unlike other years, the team is only losing four seniors and had many freshmen. Ask any of the swimmers and they will tell you about the death and destruction prac- tices so important before the sectionals. The swimmers swam, in practice alone, over 70 miles. The team was lead by co-captains Julie Dosmann and Bizi Carrington. The outlook for next year is very hopeful. There will be a balance of experienced sen- iors and the younger sopho- mores. This year ' s team low- ered times drastically and this trend will hopefully continue into the next season. MID.: Coach Saylor goes over the strategy for the upcoming meet. BOT.

The 1980-81 football Homecoming Courl was made up of a collection of beautiful young women escorted by handsome young men. The court was presented during a rainy half time, but that did not spoil the tradition. The girls were chosen by their peers, which added to the excite- ment of being selected to the court. The Homecoming Dance, which was held in the gym, was highlighted by the presence of a live band, The S, S, X-Press, The music and lights added to the tradition of the Homecoming Dance. o 3 CD O O 3 13 CQ O O 3 CD CO Mid, left: Chilly weather sets in as the court is presented at halttime of the game.

The 1980-81 boys ' swim season does not look very successful when you look at the record of 3-8; but if you look closer, you will see a sea- son ot self-improvement and record breaking. All the swimmers improved times, and the divers improved their dives and tech- niques greatly One of the records was broken by Rob Deacon, who broke the 500 yd free-style. Another record that was broken was the 50 yd. free-style by Dave Koeh- ler. And who knows what records were broken later when the team traveled to Sectionals! The team was led by Co- captains Dave Koehler and Mike Pozgai. The team will greatly miss the senior swim- mers and the two senior div- ers, Kelly Blanton and Danny Jones.
