'df STATE CHAMPION Guy Gronniger I I ,-Q, fe '4 Unknown to many, the name of De La Salle has been carried into the Amateur Athletic Union record books of Missouri by Guy Gronniger, the Missouri Valley weight-lifting champion in the 132-148 pound class. Guy started weight-lifting in 1962, his freshman year, beginning with dumb- bells that he earned selling tickets in the school car-raffle.
