1 junior Vfarsity-- Togetherness tlthough the junior varsity im team did not participate in f official junior varsity meets, ny of the swimmers competed the varsity level in one or re events. loey Talghader, sophomore, flied, Coach Dennis Shippey ttrolled the swimmers, he ded the workouts were a lit- harder than I would have Ed but that's all part of it! he swimmers all worked jether during the workouts tsisting of mostly distance and rints in the morning and late -ernoons. For most of the swimmers being a part of the district win was very exciting. The worst meet was against Clear Creek, and the best seemed to be coming out in fifth place out of 17 teams in the La Porte meet. Talghader felt, just getting to participate and go to all the meets, was the best thing about the past year. Peggy Chonoski, freshman, said The first meet was a killer because I was so nervous. John Delk, freshman, said I met a lot of people, and I learned a lot about swimming.
