First lacrosse team at CD has successful debut Lacrosse made its debut this spring under the experienced coaching of Athletic Direc- tor Gene Reilly. It is a combination of many sports: football, soccer, and hockey. The team showed its ability to leam and play the sport by compiling a .400 season. They lost three tough games to L'Anse Creuse, the only other Michigan high school team. The team came back and beat Lake Ridge Academy of Cleveland twice. More experience, combined with the al- ready present enthusiasm for the sport should give the future Country Day lacrosse teams winning seasons. 25

baseball falters as J tennis wins This year's JV tennis team, under the guidance of their new coach, marked the first winning season this group has had in a long time. They were ex- tremely good on the new home courts, beating Catholic Central twice and losing to only one team on them. JV baseball, however, marked only two wins against five losses and one tie. In spite of their poor record, the team stayed up all the time, work- ing even harder as the times got rougher. With the success of this year's Middler teams, the JV base- ball team will soon emerge as an area power.

ABOVE: A break in the lab procedure as Scott Burns, Neil Manecke, and Steve Beaumont try their luck by the Ocqueac Falls. BELOW: After a fish was stunned, it was netted, measured, marked, and then released. Lab report captures success of field trip EXPERIMENT 1.1 EQUIPMENT: Computer, electrical shockers, camping equipment, sextants, telescope, five cars, thirty students, six adults. PURPOSE: To perform a computer analysis of the environment utilizing data compiled by stu- dents and teachers together. PROCEDURE: I. Had a fish count using an electric shocker that stunned the fish so students could tag them and record their length and species. II. Took dimensions of sink hole: measured perimeter by having students walk around it. All data was fed into computer to make general form of sink hole on paper. III. Visited largest limestone deposit in the world at Rogers City, Michigan. IV. Examined soil nearby. V. Looked at stars and learned to tell time by their movement. VI. Went out at night to look at elk herd, and saw other animals as well. CONCLUSION: Using the computer, students, and teachers, it was found that they could successfully work together to arrive at logical answers to environmental puzzles Cand have a good time doing itll.
