Golf team drops well behind par Spectacular just wasn't the word to describe the Campus High Golf Team. lnheriting a young team, Coach Rich- ard Riggs expected to produce a win- ning program, due to the squad's ex- perience gained from the previous sea- son. But the team never seemed to get the ball off the tee, Foul weather got into the way of several early-season meets, even though weather during much of the spring was excellent for the sport of electric carts and 51,000 a month country clubs. Despite the pleasant conditions, the pin seemed as hard to find as a needle in a hay stack for the Colts. Even the large green areas of the Pawnee Prairie Golf Course could be compared to lakes of water on the horizon of a de- sert to a dry-throated traveler, as the CHS golfers vlsioned the greens as a mirage. Despite the tough luck experienced by the squad, senior Fred Cohlmia came through in the Winfield meet with a third place finish as he shot a 77. ln the regional at Chanute, Cohlmia and junior Dave Farney formed the two man team which came within four strokes of going the state. The varsity consisted of seniors Cohlmia, Steve Brazill, and Mike John- son. Farney and Graham Engdahl were juniors on the team, while Mark Simon rounded out the squad as a sopho- more.

Progressing netters reach goals Progress is an element of life that seems to keep everyone looking ahead toward new goals. Without progress, life would lose all meaning. Tennis is a sport at Campus which is indicative of this element of progress. In the 1977 season, the team reached many of its goals. Since the sport was started at Cam- pus more than a decate ago, teams have brought up the rear of the Ark Valley League. This hex was finally broken in 1976, as the Colts placed seventh. As in the course of progress, the team did not end there. Campus Varsity Tennis Team: Standing, Garry Pierce, Jim Hunt, Mark Reece, Wayne Wentling. Kneeling, Leonard Shockey, Brad Mullen. kilns' 101' The Colts started the 1977 season with several additions which gave its members more personal pride. New nets ended complaints of cheap courts and other such statements, a windscreen covered the south fence and calmed stiff Kansas winds, and new warm-up suits replaced hand-me- downs and gave the squad a more dig- nified look on the court. Being endowed with these gifts, the team worked hard and put it all togeth- er at the Chapparal Invitational where they placed second to earn the first tennis trophy in Campus history. As the season wound down, the Ark Valley tournament posed a stiff chal- lenge to the netters. The challenge was met with a fifth place finish, showing an I? Nur' even better improvement over past years. Jim Hunt and fellow senior Garry Pierce placed fourth in doubles to equal the highest finish ever by a Cam- pus entry. ln the regional tournament played in Winfield, third-seeded Hunt was upset by Winfield in a controversial match that will be long remembered. Next season will definitely be a re- building one for the Colts. The team must replace four seniors and a new coach, as Mr. Wayne Valentine is step- ping down after four years at the post. Whatever is in store for the team in the future, Campus will continue to fol- low the course of progress and pro- duce a winning program in the years to come. 'l'-.
