Along with Athletic Director Jim Welsch Scott and Bar bara were chosen to represent Centennial as recipients of the Coaches' Award for their leadership, sportsmanship, dedication, and loyalty to Centennial's athletic program. The People Tree Trophy for overall excellence ' in athletic competition, was presented to Centennial during the Senior Farewell Assembly in May. The award signified that Centennial varsity athletes per- formed consistently better than their intra-county competitors. Centennial's final varsity scoreboard for the 1978- 79 year boasted victories in one state, one district, and an unprecedented four county championships. The cross-country team, coached by Ken Katzen, highlighted the fall season when the athletes ran away with second place in the county, first place in the district,'and brought home Centennial's first state crown.'The girls' volleyball and boys' soccer teams, other bright spots last fall, finished second and third in the county, respectively. The two bas- ketball teams spotlighted the winter sports scene as they bounced their way through a spectacular sea- son. Coach Gail Purcell guided the girls' squad to its first county championshipg the boys finished a close W , .t third in their leaguef 7 Coming of age, the spring sports teams dazzled spectators with exceptional performances.'The tennis team, coached by Ken Sachs, captured its second straight county title and swept the entire county tournament undefeated. Also repeating a past per- formance, the swimming team brought Centennial its second county championship in two years. Coached by Andy Wizda, the girls' softball team started a Centennial tradition by capturing their first county crown. Finishing second in the county baseball competitions, the Eagle nine advanced to the states. Lacrosse also grabbed second. Boys' track took second in the districts and fourth in the states, while the girls were fourth in the county. Each year the People Tree award is relocated at the school that maintains the highest level of compe- tition in varsity athletics throughout the year. It is hoped that the award will adorn Centennial7s show- case for many years to come. People Tree Trophy 137

Whether choos- ing a schedule for the coming year, creating funds or fun, studying for finals, or simply adjusting to the high school environment, this large portion of the student body, over 80'Z1, made its presence known. The juniors sponsored a variety of activities, such as two road rallies, a pizza sale, and ajunior - freshmen dance, enabling them to produce a grand prom for the seniors and them- selves. Next in line, the sophomores, proved their financial genius by com- pleting the year as the richest class. The largest class, the freshmen, per- haps had the greatest task before them -to matriculate into new surroundings as high school students.
