The Catfish Ore In 5eason l he Catfish opened their season with a 6-0 record, 2 con- tributing factors were the gain of a new coach, Dave Rycerz and strenuous practices both before and after school. With the swim teams determination and enthu- siasm, they had a victorious sea- son with a record of 10-4. Some of their wins were over Morton, Gavit, Merriville, Westside, and Michigan City. The Catfish had a third place win in the ILSC. Tim Howard, captain, was a conference champion in the 100 Butterfly. Near the end of the season the members of the swim team became scarce at the practices and eventually even at the meets, but the dedicated mem- bers stuck in there and had an extraordinary season. Tim Howard attempts to break yet another world breast stroke record at one of the early morning practices. Hanging on to first place by the tips of his toes, Hackett prepares for his final dive. At the sound of the gun, the swimmers dive for the lead in the relay race at Michigan City. 28 Sports Boys Swimming

Young Ladu Cats Baffle For Recognition T his year ' s volleyball team was basically a young team. Con- sisting of mainly Juniors and Soph- omores and one Senior, they had a rocky season. With only three wins under their belt, the Lady Cats entered the Sectionals and defeated East Chicago Central on- ly to face Bishop Noll in the semi- finals. This young team fought long and hard to pull out a win but was disappointed in the final score. The J.V. team was also young and inexperienced with mostly Freshmen. The J.V. Lady Cats went to the J.V. Tournament with high hopes to defeat Gavit. They succeeded in that attempt but failed when they went up against Bishop Noll in the semi-finals. The team has great hopes that next year will be more productive and less running will be involved in their practices. Time can only tell and we ' ll have to see what happens next season.
