Gehrke Gives Pearson Credit for a Successful Job as Goalie With a record of l-3, the B-squad hock- ey team, according to Coach Gehrke, had a successful season and gained much experience. Mr. Gehrke added that the team faced tough competition, but came out better than expected. One of the highlights of the season was the 9-O victory over Fridley, who was unbeaten before playing Heights. Coach Gehrke attributed much of the teams success to the players' attitude. He also cited Dave Pearson's excellent goal-tending as an important factor.

Tankmen Stun Lake Division Opponents Courageous was the word which best described CHHS's first swimming team. Although none of the team members had any experience in competitive swimming, the squad entered UA com- petition in its first season. The teom ended the season with a 3-16 record, but team effort and hard work added up to what Coach Lundeen considered 'ia good showing. At each meet, several school records were set and broken. Paul Phillips and co-captain Clint Coppicus placed first in numerous races. An example of the team's ability was displayed ot St. Anthony, where Heights lost by a small margin. At this meet, Heights broke 6 of the ll school records set during the season. One of the seasons highlights come at the Wayzata meet, where Bob Acker- man, a novice at diving, presented an impromptu diving demonstration, gain- ing extra points for Heights. i E , ,,.....-..... - f -1. - , V , y f 1 ,', , Y .
