The players worked well as a team, and when the going got a little tough, such as in the Climax-Scotts game, they all pulled together and were able to come out the victor. The team opened the season well, with an 8-0 victory over Athens, but then lost some of their early acquired momentum,and had an up and down season. They finished strong however, with a 41-15 victory over Howe. The team tied their last years overall record, with 3 wins and 6 losses. The team voted on Most Valuable Player, this year the award went to Jeff Granado. David Bower received Both the Mr. Lift award and the 101% award. All players received certificates and pins. The team will be losing the following 9 seniors to graduation; Mike Ash, Thad Clipfell, Tom Perry, Shane Clip-fell, Todd McClish, Larry Bontrager, Jeff Granado, Frank Walters,and Steve Frishie. Even after suffering this loss next vear's team should prove to Be quite stronp, with players of experience, and some fresh talent. 9 J.V. KEEPS PUSHING ON BACK ROW L to R : COACH SOWLES. D CAMPBELL.

The starting of school in September was greeted with marching at the St. Joseph county fair. Barely recuperating from the fair, we prepared ourselves for marching festival at Three Rivers. There we received a first division rating. The concert season began with our Christmas concert. We consider that it was one of our best. We than prepared for orchestra festival along with solo and ensemble competition. Sabrina Capman received a first rating and then went to the state competition where she also received a first. Wecthen formed an orchestra for MY FAIR LADY. Many hours of pra-tice payed off and we had fun besides. It was then time for our Spring concert. Combining with the musical theatre class we preformed selections from many Broadway plays. In the Spring it was back to marching. We had many early morning rehe-rsals and marched in the Michigan Week parade and at Cedar Point. Our season will end by marching in the Memorial Day parade and playing at graduration. It's been a great year and we are all looking forward to doing it all over again next year. 79 SENIORS WITH 3.00 GPA BACK ROW: L to R. B Leighton, R Smith, V Klein.

Toward the end of the season two girls were moved up to the varsity team for the tournaments. These girls were freshman, Jamie Percival and sophmore, Sharon Gorden. During the tournaments each of these girls were able to see playing time. Coach Lawson should be very proud of his efforts and of this young team for their sportsmanship and teamwork. These qualities certainly paid off in a fine season. 90 FROSH SHOW PROMISE BACK ROW: L to R, COACH ADAMS. R GRAY, T CAMPBELL. T TRUCKEY. D CAMPBELL. D MUMBY. FRONT ROW: K TEFFT, C PARKS. B JOHNSON.
