Team Pulls lt Through The Girl's Basketball Team this year exhibited determination and pride as they battled strong Foothill League opponents. Practicing from 6:30 to 8:40 in the morning, Coach Pat lVlcCum- mins had the job of coaching Varsity and Junior Varsity. Both teams had difficulties at first gaining a victory, but pulled it through towards the end- Varsity winning one game and Junior Varsity winning three. The Varsity victory came against Burbank. Led by Charisse Brown with twenty points, the Vikes downed the Bulldogs 48-39. The high scorers on the Varsity Team were guard Charisse Brown and center Pat Francis with Brigitte Delmar, Sandy Franklin, and Tina Cooper making strong contribu- tions to the team. The Junior Varsity seemed to have better luck. Their victories came against Hart, Canyon, and Burbank, with Lanita Jones, Diane Thomas, and Rachel Graham having the best performances in league play. Through their victories and defeats the girls showed excellent examples of what team players should represent. The experience gained should help to make the Girl's Basketball Team much better next year. LEFT: Undaunted by her adversaries, Diane Thomas uncorks a short jumper.

Q, 5345. -. lt. wt. Y . Small But Strong With new coach Bruce Kocsis and a small squad, the Swim team worked extra hard to prepare for their meets. They went 5-3 in league with close meets against Hart and Hoover. The Varsity team was small in number but had lots of power. Shelly Johnson, the only senior on the team, swam freestyle along with Juniors Peter Schaefer 1500 yd.l, Fernando Gallud 1200 yd.i, and Matt Lovitt l100 yd.i. John Hoffman and Andy Carreon were outstanding in the fly and backstroke events. Peter Cohen was the best in the breast- stroke with PeterPaul Vita and Fonda Wu earning points for the team also. The Soph-frosh team lost most of their events because many of the team members were moved up to the Varsity squad to help them score points. Don Hendrix, a fresh- man, was the star of the team, but he usuallyswam with Varsity. He did exceptionally well in breaststroke events and in the individual medley. Mike Schaefer was their freestylist. Curtis Johnson placed in many backstroke events and Holger Bracht was excellent in the breast- stroke.
