alter Being on the freshman softball team was a challenging experience for the fu- ture sophomores. Coach Howard Mad- sen said that despite the fact that it was the team's first year of competition and or- ganized ball game, the players were nev- ertheless eager to learn, enthusiastic, and very coachablef' He also commented on the season being a success in that it had aprovided the players with an oppor- tunity to actively participate and develop the necessary skills for the varsity team. The Varsity softball team consisted of eighteen players, all of whom equally contributed their skill and patience to form an outstanding group. Despite injuries to several key players, they had a strong in- field, and a better than average outfield. The graduating seniors for this year were Pam Riley, Jackie Beem, Ellen Heenan, and Michele Rundle. John Pulford was the first and probably the last boy to have the privilege of being on the Varsity softball team. A MAKE WAY Jamie Hoffman attempts to tag her opponent.

the tap This yeaI S girls track 5935011 had to be one of the most exciting seasons ever. Still a very young team fcontaining only 4 seniorsj the tracksters finished with a fine 8 and 2 record. The biggest thrill of the whole season was beating Holt at their own track, 59 to 55. The girls finish- ed a disappointing second in the first CAC meet because of a disqualification losing by just 3 points. The most surprising thing all season was freshman standout Janine Crawley. About mid-season she set a new school record in the two-mile and con- tinued to improve it every time she ran it there after. Janine finished fourth in the state meet. Juniors Dawn Juola and Sally Schaberg also helped pace the team. Dawn was on the State Journal Honor Roll in four events. Sally was the teams fastest 440 runner and anchored all of the best relays. The team will be in excellent shape for next year. Front row: FROSH TRACK: Tracey Hotchkiss, Jayme Phelps, Anita Slurdi- vanl, Lisa Thornton, Tanya Wells, Pat Penn.
