Junior Varsity, Freshman Baseball Baseball, a very popular spring sport, con- sisted of many experienced students this year. Both the J.V. and the freshman teams played ability. Gaining confidence in their ability, the J.V. team had a very memorable year thanks to their head coach Bob Lukaesko and assistant coach Ted Bristline. The team worked very hard to reach their full potential both as indivi- duals and as a team. There were many re- quirements expected of each and every mem- ber. Among these requirements were dedica- tion, discipline, and good character. During practice the team would utilize new tech- niques and worked on running as well as their batting abilities. Many students on the freshman baseball team obtained the opportunity of practicing day after day. before being informed that they had been accepted on the team. After examin- ing the skills and attitudes of each person, the final decision of the team was made by head coach Tom Quinley and assistant coach Craig Valone. Approximately twenty-three athletes made up the team. 112 J,V Baseball J.V. BASEBALL FRONT ROW: Johnny Garcia, Charles Klingbell, Darryl ROW: Head Coach Bob Lukaesko. Kevin Saxon, Kjrl Kennedy.

Varsity Badminton ' ' Watch Tiie Birdie ' ' Practicing from 3-5 p.m. daily and some times on Saturdays, the varsity badminton team consisted of seventeen members. Of the seventeen members, twelve were returning players. The badminton team worked hard on im- proving their weak point, the inexperience of the newcomers to the team, and strengthen- ing their strong point, which was having the experienced players who had already gained from a competitive season last year. Good racket skills, strategy, coordination and quick reflexes helped the varsity badmin- ton team overcome these weaknesses which added to a good challening season. Coach Gauthier said the team ' s goals were to gain knowledge, sportsmanship and re- sponsibility; also to learn what it meant to participate on a team and work together as a team throughout the season. When asked how she felt about the varsity badminton team as a whole, Coach Gauthier replied, It was a young inexperienced team, but they gained much experience during the season.
