CHERRY, C.S.B. VOLUME II JUDY WOJKOVICH, Co-Editor DAVID BITTNER, Co-Editor RAYMOND DE FABIO, Moderator SISTER JEANNE AMBRE, SS.C.M., Moderator academic Administration — Bearers of Vision for Now and The Future A school is as good as the dedication of its leadership. This dedication cannot be measured by time, space , money or any conceivable measurement of its output. It can only be measured by the totality of its efforts and its success at instilling its goals and reaching every student. In Andrean’s case the goals are to promote scholastic achievement and to implant Christian morals. Under the leadership of Father Cherry and Sister Janet the realization of these goals was just a bit more conceivable. They were able to keep Andrean a top quality Catholic High School. Rev. Ronald G. Schwenzer, C.S.B., Assistant Principal Rev. Vincent C. Eckert, C.S.B., Treasurer Sister M. Emma, SS.C.M., Librarian Sister M. Jeanne, SS.C.M., Assistant Principal 16 — Academics Sister M. Janet, SS.C.M., Associate Principal Academics — 1 7 It is the same God that said, “Let there be light shining out of the darkness , " who has shown in our minds to radiate the light of the knowledge of God ' s glory, the glory on the face of Christ. We are only the earthenware jars that hold this treasure, to make it clear that such an overwhelming power comes from God and not from us. We are in difficulties on all sides, but never cornered; we see no answer to our problems, but never despair; we have been persecuted, but never deserted; knocked down, but never killed; always, wherever we may be, we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus, too, may always be seen in our body. For we know that when the tent that we live in on earth is folded up, there is a house built by God for us, an everlasting home not made by human hands, in the heavens. In this present state, it is true, we groan as we wait with longing to put on our heavenly home over the other; we should like to be found wearing clothes and not without them. Yes, we groan and find it a burden being still in this tent, not that we want to strip it off, but to put the second garment over it and to have what must die taken up into life. This is the purpose for which God made us, and he has given us the pledge of his Spirit. 2 Corinthians Gifts symbolizing various aspects of Father Cherry’s life were presented at the Offertory of the Mass of Resurrection celebrated at Blessed Sacrament Church. Pictured at the right is a piece of artwork, symbol of Father’s lif elong devotion to the beautiful works of man’s imagination and hands; a candle, symbol of the light and wisdom of Christ which illumined Father’s life; the memorial edition of the Acropolis; Father’s office book, symbol of the Basilian life of community and prayer; nails, symbolizing his share in the sufferings of Christ; a faculty handbook, symbol of his efforts to fashion Andrean into a deeply Christian educational community; grains of incense, symbol of the beautiful, gentle, and humorous words and acts which characterized his life; and an earthenware clay vessel, symbol of man’s nature, imperfect unless filled with the power of Christ. 20 — Academics That We Might Not Forget REVEREND JOHN T. CHERRY, C.S.B. December 12, 1919 — February 21, 1973 Unless a wheat grain falls on the ground and dies it remains only a single grain, but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest. John 12 A quiet man — peaceful and strong A friend — enduring and concerned A priest — devoted and faithful We are only the better for having known him Academics A Unique Insight Into the Life of Men in God Religion at Andrean is not just a subject but a way of life, therefore, the Theology Department’s main objective is to aid the individual student in seeking knowledge of religious truths and principles, and helping them apply these to modern life. Theology has always been a four year course here at Andrean which distinguishes Andrean from public schools. All religion courses aim to aid students to understand their faith in relation to themselves and the world. Rev. Charles Christopher, C.S.B. Sister Mary Anne Nemec, SS.C.M.

Mr. Anthony Grella Academics — 23 Mr. Dennis Kauffman Rev. David Klein, C.S.B. The English Department provides each student with an opportunity to gain an insight into the beauty of literature and the creativity of composition. A wide variety of courses explores everything from writing skills to Black American literature to Film as Art. Speech and Journalism courses offer a valuable outlet for self-expression. This year, the department sponsored the National Theatre Company’s presentation of Barefoot in the Park and Antigone in order to expose each student to professional drama — living literature. In the Literary Magazine, creative students receive the satisfaction of seeing their best achievements in print. Rev. Gordon Judd, C.S.B.

Mr. Lester Weiss The Language Department offers four year courses in French, Spanish, and German, and a two year course in Latin. Along with the fundamental knowledge of the language, culture is brought into the course by the use of filmstrips, periodicals, and tapes. Most students take advantage of the opportunity to study two years of one language or another in preparation for the future. Miss Patricia O’Hara Academics — 27 Intensive Study of Cultural Patterns Through an active study of our nation’s history, government and economics the Social Studies Department strives to produce responsible citizens of the United States. Term papers, reports, study of current events, and group discussions inform students of the workings of the United States and makes them aware of the past, present, and future of our world neighbors. Mrs. David Black Miss Roseann Trapane 28 — Academics Mr. John McCarthy, C.S.B. Academics — 29 A Challenge to the Inquisitive To appreciate the intensity of the natural world is the general aim of the Science Department. Amid an array of lab books, lecture notes, test-tubes, and balances, one can discover the complexities of the unknown. The department offers a basis for further study in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Miss Linda Bram Rev. Kenneth Decker, C.S.B. Mr. Orville Burley 30 — Academics Mr. Michael Chelap Sister Joan Marie, SS.C.M. Mr. Jerome Mazur Academics — 31 Developing the Analytical Mind As all other departments the Math Department provides the student with an adequate background for further study in its field. There is a choice of three tracks to follow from which the student can choose the one best fitted to his needs and abilities. Regardless of the program he chooses the math student makes use of logic and reason to develop clear thinking patterns which aid him in all his other studies. Sister M. Nadine, SS.C.M.

Academics — 33 A Future to Work In Pages of squiggles and lines take on new mean ing as shorthand students perform daily assignments of writing exercises and transcriptions. Hands which at one time pecked at typewriters slowly and deliberately, after much practice race through page after page of challenging jobs. Students gain experience in duplicating papers and programs for school events by operating machines and working with stencils. Business Education also includes a study of the principles of Accounting, Business Law, and Management. Such basic skills and practices are good beginnings for a prospective future in the business world.

The Application of Polished Skills Academics — 35 Mr. Peter Billick Mr. John Bennett The Industrial Arts Department provides valuable training tor tuture engineers. Dratting, a study ot tools, machines, and operations paves the way tor interpreting and sketching drawings and blueprints. Mechanical Drawing I and II, Architectural Drafting and Design, and Creative Design enable the student to better acquaint himself with the language of industry. The Process of Refining Aesthetic Sensibilities The Fine Arts add a necessary dimension to the total development of the Andrean student. Beginning and advanced Art students experiment with paint, pastels, and ink as well as some unusual art forms such as macrame and tie-dye. Tissue paper and styrofoam packing pieces challenge the students to be ingenious in their creative efforts. Mrs. Robert Czarnecki 36 — Academics Mr. Rolando Chilian Band and Choral students work to develop talents which bring joy and entertainment to the entire student body. Two concerts and an out-of-state tour motivate the students to a high degree of excellence and provide the experience of performing in public. Rev. Joseph Moffatt, C.S.B. Academics — 37 The Art of Domestic Science The Home Economics Department attempts to provide students with the knowledge and skill necessary to be good homemakers. In Foods, a variety of cooking methods are taught with emphasis placed on nutritional values. Good nutrition is a basic part of maintaining the health and well-being of the entire family. Development of sewing skills is important to the homemaker for the satisfaction it brings and the money it saves. Students first practice the basic techniques of darting and hemming, then, after hours of effort, energy, and learning, yards of material and thread take on the shape of coats and dresses. Mrs. John Wamsher 38 — Academics The Science of Sport Physical Education is a required course for all Freshmen at Andrean. The students obtain a knowledge of a variety of sports, besides having a great deal of fun. Soccer, Volleyball, Trampoline, Bowling, and even modern dance find a place in the typical gym class. A follow up to the Physical Education course is the Health and Safety course required in Sophomore year. Here students receive a basic knowledge of the functions of the body and valuable first aid instruction. Miss Kay Lynn Spencer - L Mr. Alexander Holok Mr. Daniel Rogovich Academics — 39 Guiding the Journey to Senior Year Repeatedly the Guidance Counselors prove their genuine concern by sharing ther experience and insights with each student. Individual interviews afford an opportunity to solve schedule problems and plan for future studies. The Counselors’ open doors and willing spirits testify to their sincere desire to meet the needs of each student. Sister M. Alfred, SS.C.M. Mr. Christopher Nicolini Mr. John D.

Academics — 41 One reason the big apples are always on top of the basket is that there are always a lot of little ones holding them up there. New Dimensions for Student Council The Andrean Student Council serves as a mediator between faculty and students, especially in matters concerning extracurricular activities. The traditional Student Council activities, dances, sock-hops, assemblies, excursions, Armageddon, and the soon to be traditional Rock Revival, helped to make the year enjoyable for Andrean students. More valuable than the planned activities of Student Council were the serious efforts to include more students in the decisions and work of Student Council. Through conscientious students and faculty the goal of a better Andrean will be realized. National Honor Society Evokes " Mayhem, Madness a nd Merriment " Scholarship, character, leadership, service: these are the four characteristics which bring together Juniors and Seniors from all Andrean organizations into one body, the National Honor Society. Every Tuesday afternoon members of NHS and other volunteer students could be found tutoring grade school boys from Hoosier Boys Town. The NHS’s major endeavor was Fine Arts Day, a program which combined entertainment with instruction. This year’s theme was “Mayhem, Madness, and Merriment — the Development of Comedy in Film.” 46 — Organizations EXECUTIVE BOARD: D. Bittner, T. Hallett, J. Malloy, M.J. Craig. Organizations — 47 Deadlines, By-Lines, Proofs, and Prints The Acropolis, Andrean’s school newspaper, is published monthly by a staff of volunteers and journalism students. Favorite columns include ‘Li’l Andy,’ written by Andrean’s mascot who reveals the secrets of Andrean, and ' Athlete of the Month,’ a column which gives recognition to outstanding Andrean athletes. Under the direction of the new moderator, Sister Gilmary, the Acropolis has become a vital voice in communication between faculty, students and administration. 48 — Organizations This is the Year That Was CO-EDITORS: S. Zaloudek, D. Bittner, J. Wojkovich, T. Wojkovich. Due to a great deal of time, energy and sacrifice, the 1 973 Decussata is now a reality. Under the guidance of our two moderators, Sister Jeanne Ambre and Mr. DeFabio, staff members used their creative talents in making this book one we hope will be remembered throughout the years. Various new methods of procedure, such as the training of two co- editors for next year, workshops and a special Patron Drive run by Jo Hutchens, have made the production of this book a challenging experience. The hours were long and the tensions great, but the result of our efforts is one that will be treasured by many.

Political rallies, telephone calls, voting and responsible politics are some of the interests of the Andrean Political Action Club. These students could be found at enthusiastic rallies, telephoning and driving people to the polls on election day, and at meetings discussing the political system. Interested not only in the workings of politics, the members felt the responsibility to work at making politics better. Organizations — 51 Smell of the Greasepaint, the Roar of the Crowd “1776,” “Don’t Drink the Water,” and “Thurber Carnival” were the 1973 Andrean Drama Club presentations. The musical, “1776,” and the comedy, “Don’t Drink the Water,” were staged by students under the direction of faculty supervisors. The play, “Thurber Carnival,” was a joint effort, using the combined efforts of students, faculty, and members of the Parents’ Club. Drama Club presentations provide enjoyment of theater productions while giving students a chance to learn first hand the art of the theater. DRAMA CLUB OFFICERS: FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: President T.

The traditional Daddy Date Night was one of the most successful in years. Along with the Christmas party, the Installation and Mothers’ Tea, and the making of Armageddon pizzas, the FHA sold stationery and had an excursion to Sara Lee in Chicago for the end of a busy year.

Olejnik, The Business Club of Andrean is an organization composed of students interested in the field of business. The project of assigning secretaries to teachers proved to be successful and so, many Business Club members found themselves gaining valuable experience as secretaries to various teachers. An excursion was planned and members of the Business Club, along with members of the FHA, visited patients in a convalescent home. This year has proven to be a year of growth and achievement for the Business Club. Organizations — 57 YARC and TAC Reach Out — Farther The Andrean Youth Association for Retarded Children is a group which provides entertainment for the younger retarded children of The Merrillville area. In order to raise money for activities, Sue Peterson held a bakesale at her church which netted over $20. The money was soon put to good use at the Easter party where Beth Knies played the role of the Easter bunny (much to the excitement of the youngsters and the amusement of the volunteers). A spring picnic at the Salvatorian Fathers initiated a new treat for the children this year. Several students are involved in the Lake County Unit of Teens Against Cancer, performing service which they find both rewarding and important. 58 — Organizations Where Charity and Love Prevail . . . MISSION CLUB MEMBERS: FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: J. Witczak, D. latarola, J. Nettles, Sr. Mary Anne, R. Dobrian, J. Taylor. Through the work of the Mission Society, the students learn of the needs of others and have the opportunity to do what they can to alleviate poverty. The society, through its homeroom representatives, raised money by daily collections and the year’s school wide project — the raffling of a 1 0-speed bicycle. The money collected went to various places of need both in the United States and in foreign countries. This year, in addition to monetary assistance, the members collected mittens, scarves, and hats to meet the immediate need of some Indian children in a reservation school.

Members of the concert band are exposed to classical, popular, march, and sacred music as well as theory and the history of music. The stage band provides an opportunity to perform in the jazz idiom. This year’s stage band became the first Andrean band to perform at a contest. It placed in a tie for third out of ten bands. The groups performed in concerts, grade school tours, and on the music department tour to St. Louis, Missouri. FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, LEFT TO RIGHT: M. Manley, S. Christian, T. Merza, R. Wilson, S.

For the second consecutive year, the Andrean Choral groups have appeared on Channel 1 1 ’s Sunday Evening Club. Each member of these groups spends numerous hours, both in school and out, practicing to achieve the high degree of quality for which the Andrean Music Department is noted. Organizations — 63 Girls Prove Athletic Ability The Andrean Girls Athletic Association was the source of both intramural and extramural sports for girls. Intramural teams (between classes) included Powder Puff football, volleyball, and basketball. Extramural teams (between schools) included golf, volleyball, basketball and track. Along with sports activities, GAA also sponsored Pixie Week, which was a week of exchanging gifts and good will during the Christmas season. It also held the annual turnabout dance, the theme of which this year was “Carousel.” UPPER RIGHT: Publicity Chairman T. Hennessey, Secretary M. Powell, Vice-President M. Sheeran, President D.

Their imaginative signs could be seen covering the halls, urging our teams to victory. Booster Boards enabled spectators to easily identify a player with his number. Along with the sale of homecoming mums, Booster Club sold Andrean license plates, key chains and buttons. LOWER RIGHT: (top) Treasurer D. Duriavig, Secretary S. Cunningham, (bottom) Vice-President J.

Oscar Wilde istudint life Andrean’s Primary commitment to spiritual development extends beyond the Theology department into special religious activities. Father Norman Murphy, school Chaplain, celebrates Mass every morning in the Priest’s Chapel and distributes Communion before the lunch periods. Each class also has three voluntary retreats each year. This year, religious activities gained even more emphasis through observances such as “Right to Life Week’’ and a special Mass of Thanksgiving. The most moving services, however, were the Wake, Vespers, and two Masses for 70 — Student Life Father Cherry. The Andrean Community, with that strange joyful-sorrow that characterizes Christian belief in Resurrection, was united in prayer. Thus did Andrean endeavor to make God a living reality, rather than an intellectual fact in 1973 .

There are traditions in society, in our families and in our school. One of the most beautiful traditions present at Andrean is the Homecoming hysteria. This year people were even more hysterical because Homecoming was so early; it hardly seemed that we had our schedules memorized when we were fluffing flowers in homeroom — and religion and English, at the dinner table, in front of the tube, in our sleep. Flower parties began weekly and quickly increased to nightly and early-in-the-morning-ly. As the big weekend rolled around, everyone bubbled with anticipation of the event and pride in their work. As a result, the Freshmen and Sophomores ordered the Niners to “Tame ’Em’’ and the Juniors caged the Roosevelt Panthers as they chanted, “We Got Ya, Uh-Huh.’’ The center of all this enthusiasm and support was the team of the Fighting 59’ers and they didn’t disappoint their exuberant fans. They gave their school and Homecoming Queen, Debbie Karras, an exciting 40-20 victory over Roosevelt. It was a proud and delighted queen who was escorted out ot Gilroy on her red and gold chessboard float, proclaiming “Seniors Reign!” 72 — Student Life Niners Pawn the Panthers Student Life — 73 Senior year — a year of quickly fleeing ‘‘last times,” college hopping and chronic " senioritis.” Homecoming is a very big part of Senior year for it is the time of ultimate realization of the words ‘‘our class” and “our school.” This realization is not only characteristic of the seniors, however. It is a time of unity and spirit, of good times and jubilation for everyone — freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors alike. There’s nothing like a cheery flower party to bring people together, and nothing like a colorful imaginative caravan to stimulate pride among classmates. Amid the swelling crowd packed into the cramped bleachers of Gilroy, the anticipation rises as the embodiment of school spirit, loyalty and unity, the Homecoming Queen of 1 972, is announced. And Andrean has come home; for some it is the last time they will see their too oft condemned and too seldom beloved school as one. For them, and the others after them who will come and go, Andrean has come home to house their fondest memories and warm their hearts. 74 — Student Lite 1972 Homecoming Queen, Debbie Karras UPPER LEFT: Ed George’s Monte Carlo pulled the senior float — “Seniors Reign.

The 73 theme was “Carousel” and decorations included carousel table favors and a streamer- maypole. Blue lighting, flowery garden vines, and glistening stars set the mood for “Dancing in the Moonlight” at Froshmore Night. Boys and girls of the two classes actually “mixed” on the dance floor — probably for the first time in the history of the event. The added nudge was provided by Fluid Motion. 82 — Student Life Dancing in the Student Life — 83 Planning the Junior Prom was a challenge to the unity of the class. Few tickets had been sold and March 31 was close at hand, but with combined efforts of moderators and officers “Southern Comfort’’ became a reality. The cafeteria was transformed into a southern plantation rich in moonlit gardens, apple tree swings and flowered trellises. The music of Prologue completed the setting for a successful evening. 84 — Student Life Juniors Dance in Southern Plantation Atmosphere Student Lite — 85 Mandolin Wind A Mandolin Wind blew gently and favorably for the Senior Class of 1 973. The Seniors enjoyed their gala evening at the Canterbury Theatre and Canterbury West in Michigan City. The Moon Glows provided the beat for the evening’s festive dancing there. Post-Prom 1973 took place at the Bridge-Vu Theatre, where a buffet dinner was served. Afterwards, the couples rocked to the music of the World Column. Sunshine and warm weather prevailed for the weekend activities and characterized the delightful time had by all. 86 — Student Life Student Life — 87 Senior Antics Achieve Armageddon Victory v=7rittins t7rowl p The growl of the Gary Griffins has scared away the opposition for the second year in a row, bringing the championship trophy back to Andrean. Under the direction of Fr. Klein, this year’s team compiled a 19 and 2 record. The high scorer’s trophy was won by Bob Bartolomeo, the most valuable player award by John Mallonee, and the most improved player trophy by Craig Collins. THE GRIFFINS: LEFT TO RIGHT, STANDING: B.

Marie Dressier dthliti£ Netters Have Continued Success Andrean’s netters have won their fourth consecutive NWC championship over rival Lew Wallace with a record of 9-2. Their composite record over the past four years is a fantastic 39-9. The team is led by Senior C. Fitzhugh, who has won the Andrean Invitational, City Championship, and Sectionals in the singles division, and Ted Itin, 2 doubles man. The reins next year will probably be taken over by B. Milbrath, 2 singles man and P. Milbrath, a sophomore, who was the Most Improved Player from last season. 92 — Athletics Harriers Take First in City Meet as They Post 9-3 Dual Meet Record The Cross Country team under the first year guidance of Father Ward was one of the best in Andrean’s history while posting a 9-3 dual meet record. One of the three losses was to a powerful Hobart team. Andrean established themselves as the best team in the city by winning the city meet and a third place finish in the sectionals. The core of the team was formed by T. James, one of the best runners in the area, T. Paulson, T. Walla, M. Glinski, and M. Verdeyen. 94 — Athletics CROSS COUNTRY HARRIERS: FRONT ROW: M. Verdeyen, M.

Athletics — 95 Gridders Surprise All — Except Themselves At the beginning of the season many people thought this year’s varsity team was too small to be seriously considered for the conference championship. The lack of size was offset however, by their fierce determination. Coach Billick in his first year as head coach did an excellent job in preparing this fine squad. The 7-3 record does not accurately reflect the team’s effort in the two bitter losses to Hobart and Chesterton by a total of seven points. Opening season wins over Portage and Morton provided excitement for 59’er fans. Brickie Bowl again proved hazardous for the niner team in a 7-6 loss. A wide margined victory over Horace Mann was followed by a satisfying Homecoming defeat of Gary Roosevelt. A narrow win over Lew Wallace was followed by the team’s worst performance against Emerson. Wirt was defeated 10-6 followed by a loss on a muddy field to Chesterton. The final game was against fourth-ranked West Side which had four 250 pound defensive linemen. Remarkably the Niners played their best game in winning 26-0. Many individuals played key roles in producing the fine overall team effort. The quarterbacking Bob Bartolomeo was supported by the ground attack of Phil LaMere, Rich Kunas, and Gene Rawley. Joe Sullivan, All-State defensive end, split time on offense between end and fullback. The kicking of Tom Collins earned honorable mention as All-State. John Mallonee and Russ Capellari spearheaded the fine defensive effort. Truly a team effort was responsible for the fine record of this year’s squad. 96 — Athletics Athletics 97 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM: FRONT ROW: R. Piazza, G. Ousley, T. Rendina, R. Dorulla, G.

They compiled a record of 6-1 through their depleted schedule losing only to Lew Wallace by a score of 8-0. High points in the season included a 16-0 victory over rival Hobart and a narrow 10-8 win over West Side. The offense behind quarterback John Scully averaged 1 5 pts. per game. The defense proved difficult for opponents allowing only 4 pts. per game. Coach Holok has done an excellent job in preparing the cast for next year’s varsity in his first year as reserve head coach. Athletics — 101 Frosh Allow Only 2 TD ' s as Offense Rolls The winning Freshman tradition has once again been preserved at Andrean by this year’s team with a record of 7-1 . A 34- game winning streak for the Frosh teams ended in a gruelling match with Merrillville as the team gave up their first TD of the year and lost 6-0.

Instead of relying on one or two high- scoring players, the Fifty-niners have depended on overall teamplay. This was proven by the scoring averages of starters Joe Sullivan (1 7), Jim Connelly (14), Tony Maggio (1 3), and Keith Zimmerman (11). Maggio was the leading playmaker and field general, averaging 7 assists per game. Brian Curtis and Tom Bukur shared the remaining starting position and were invaluable in their work off the backboards. The other varsity members: Rich Bajgrowicz, Rudy Denson, Ray Dorulla, Tom Seibal, Tom Goszewski, Mark Manuel, and Bob James contributed when needed. Entering the semifinal round of the Holiday Tournament on a bye, Andrean staged its best comeback of the year against Emerson. After losing 38-29 at halftime, we arose and defeated them 69-65. The squad then prevailed over Crown Point, 61-52, and it seemed as though a winning streak had begun. However, we followed with our worst game of the season, losing to Portage. Heartbreaker losses to Chesterton and Horace Mann stopped the winning streak in its tracks. A victory over East Gary momentarily halted the slide, but defeats at the hands of Hobart, Hammond Clark, and Horace Mann in the Sectionals brought a painful end to the season.

The team did have some fine grapplers such as Terry Paulson and Dean Behnke, the only Seniors on the squad, Scott Vidimos, Ben Milbrath, and Mike Nacarrato, who is the captain and holder of the record pin in Indiana.

Athletics — 1 09 Senior Homeroom Captures Honors The intramural program, under the very able direction of Father Klein, had another successful year. Once again, touch football and basketball were offered. The Seniors of Homeroom 206 captured the school football championship, defeating Sophomore Homeroom 212 in the playoffs. During the basketball season, Homeroom 206 again showed their athletic might by winning the school championship. High scorer was Senior Mark Oskins who averaged 24 points per game. Homeroom 201 took Junior honors, and Homeroom 212 led the Sophomore league. TOP: SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPS: LEFT TO RIGHT: L. Hricik, R. McMahon, B. Laco, D. Starr, M. Lucas, S. Piwkiewicz.

The infield consisted of Murphy Cross at third, Gary Crnkovich at short, Dave Smith at second, John Mallonee at first, and Mike Saffa catching. Jim Connelly, Ray Dorulla, and John Pavlecich made up the outfield. The pitching staff was led by Mickey Vaughan, Mark Lucas, and Keith Zimmerman. The team was plagued by inconsistent weather and the loss of Mickey Vaughan, who lost three games despite giving up no earned runs. The team appears to have a good nucleus for next year. 112 — Athletics BASEBALL TEAM: FRONT ROW: T. Collins, J. Wojkovich, J. Frankovich, M. Cross, R. Dorulla, G. Crnkovich, M. Saffa, J. Pavlecich.

Athletics — 113 Golfers Match Last Year ' s Record This year’s varsity golf team inherited the reputation of “the team to beat,” due to the 25-1 record of the preceeding year. S. Vidimos, a sophomore, voted 1971-1972 Most Improved Player, led the varsity into all their matches with his consistent all-around play. R. Franz and P. Beiriger provided superior competition for many unlucky opponents. All this, teamed up with S. Ferguson, produced a foursome that was feared by all. Next year’s golf team will be interesting to watch. Losing their seniors (Ray, Pete, and Scott), the younger players will have to fill the gap for another successful season. This will be difficult, but Coach Mike Chelap believes that they can do it. VARSITY GOLF: KNEELING: G. Roskowski, S. Vidimos. STANDING: T. Matovina, R. Franz, S. Ferguson, P. Beiriger.

Though track does not draw as many fans as football or basketball, it requires a great deal of hard work and dedication. The harriers have the dedication it takes to do well. They are led by Joe Sullivan in the shotput and discus, Tim James in the mile, Tom Goszewski in the 440, and Mike Waite in the 1 00 yard dash.
