' Skin linksmen best in decade Compiling the best record of any Red- skin golf team in the last decade, Man- ual ' s linksmen tied with Chatard for third place in the City Tourney at Riverside Golf Course. Furthermore, the golf team defeated Roncalli, Cathedral, and Mar- shall for the first time in ten years. This 6- 8 squad also pocketed third in the Ar- lington Invitational Tourney. The team ' s record was anchored by the strong, consistent performances of senior Paul Bockover and sophomores Gordon and Gary Chapman who were all cited as top golfers by Coach Woody McBride. By averaging 40 strokes per nine holes, Paul took medal- ist honors for the season. The medalist is the golfer who tallies the least strokes of either team at the end of the match, which is nine holes. Gordon and Gary Chapman also cap- tured medalist honors during season play, and their averages were 42 and 42.7 strokes, respectively. Senior Donnie Johnson, junior Mark Bohannon, and 1979 graduate Gary Beaman provided a balanced attack for the ' Skins by aver- aging approximately 45 strokes per match. Gordon attributed golf success to consistently playing well, practicing with a lot of concentration, and not showing temper after a bad shot. The squad finished twelfth in the Sec- tional, which was a disappointment to them, but senior Paul Bockover said, I feel we can better our record and im- prove our standing in 1980 City com- petition.

!6 + . Developing team needs workers It ' s here to stay! commented Coach Dorothy Powell on the status of the girl ' s track team at Manual. Miss Powell, with the help of Coach Kirby Julian, piloted the girls to a 1-7 season in 1979. This was our first full year as far as purchasing uniforms and participating in meets, said Coach Powell. The team ' s lone victory was over Broad Ripple, 50- 44. Junior Darla Anderson placed fourth in the mile in the City Track Meet with a 5:47 jaunt. The coaches recognized the team was weak in field events and middle distances. We are also lacking in numbers, Coach Powell added. Ideally we need two or more in each event. Junior hurdler Denise Belin concurred. I feel we improved a lot individually, but we need more girls who work harder. Darlene Anderson, a 1979 graduate, said, I feel we fought hard, even though our team was small. I hope more girls will come out and participate so Manual will have a better girls track team. Junior Denise Belin bounds over the first of ten hurdles which she will face in the low hurdles. Denise set a girls track record at Manual of 1 3 seconds in this event. -•- Varsity 1979 Track Season Girls Track Records Manual Opponent Hurdles 13.0 sec. Denise Belin 100 yards 12 sec.

Tennis page 19 Racquet women net 3 victories Hit hard by 1978 graduation, the girl ' s tennis team, under the direction of Kate Lavvrie, struggled through a 3-11 season finishing 8th in City competition, which, according to Coach Lavvrie, is steadily improving every season. 1979 graduate Sherri Anderson said, We did pretty good considering that we had a lot of in- experienced players. This lack of experience coupled with the lack of a practice facility were the circumstances behind the team ' s record. At the time, Garfield Park ' s tennis courts were being rennovated which nullified the possibility of team members prac- ticing together. Coach Lawrie said, I think they will improve if they stick with it by taking lessons, playing everyday, and entering tournaments. Senior Rhonda Munn said, It was really fun, and I had a good time, but I wish we would have won more matches. All of the 1979 team except for Sherri Anderson returned for the 1980 season, determined to better their record. Sophomore Judy Buckel is preparing to unleash her backhand against Arlington. The Redskins won 5-0. i Tennis, Front row: Carol McClary, |udy Bu- ckel, Linda Craft, Sherri Anderson, Sandy Urich.
