Water- logged And Wrinkled Up before dawn, the girls' swim team plunged into the pool at the middle school many a fateful morning for yet an- other workout. Laps complet- ed, redressed, and hair barely blown-dry, the girls switched from stroking their arms and kicking their feet to running so that they would beat the bell announcing the start of the school day. Classes for them were nothing but a six hour break on dry land before head- ing back to the pool for another fix of chlorine, bloodshot eyes, and pruned fingers. The indi- vidual efforts of the 40 girls came together under co-cap- tains Deidre Freeman and Kim Baker, providing them with victories in 8 of their 9 meets, including a victory over New- town, their most difficult con- tender. With high spirits and unity, the WHS girls' swim team hoped to butterfly, breast- stroke, and freestyle towards a WCC title.

ourtesy Before ictor While trying to maintain the traditional grace and feminin- ity of the sport, the 1979 Varsi- ty Field Hockey Team Was just too nice to match the coarse aggression of their opponents. Despite a strong defense in- cluding the only two returning players, fullback Louise Wea- sel Truax and halfback Arlene Forrester, the teamllacked the spark of any real star players needed to pull them out of a 2 year losing streak. Rather than give up and throw in their shirts and sticks, the girls with- stood the pressure and worked hard together, concentrating on improving skill rather than aggression. Co-captains Arlene Forrester and Heidi Wagner, fdespite a leg injury which pre- vented her from playing in all but one gameb kept the spirit up. Coaches Miss June Olah and Mrs. Barbara Bowditch look to the stronger JV team and now veteran varsity players to build up a formidable force to im- prove on this season's record of 0-3-3 next year.
