As a freshman, just making the golf team was great, but playing with those guys really improved my game, said Kelly Archibald. This year was different in many ways. Not only were there more freshmen than ever before but for the second year in a row they also had junior Suzanne Johnson as the only girl on the team. She was readily accepted, but the boys nicknamed her Steve. The coach Mr. Rexroad smiled and said it like this: Steve was just another one of the boys, but on out-of-town trips our nature stops’ were interesting. Such characters as these made this a very colorful year. Artwork by Nikole Hamilton. (Opposite Page, Above Center) Sophomore Paul Newton is chipping onto green 7 during qualifying plays.

The team won 4th place in the state tournament but for the third year in a row Monte Mad-Dog” Montgomery has taken 1st place individually. He makes it look easy but don’t be fooled. It takes years of hard work to achieve and maintain such an impeccable performance record. I finally beat Monte one out of four tries after two years of trying, said second starting varsity golfer, senior Nick Perry. Many of the players attributed their successes to the small bets and contests they made in practice. (Opposite Page. Above Right) Senior Nick Perry is wondering Which way did it go?
