V75 Maplettes Finish Coached by Mrs, Cook, the Seahohn Maplettes completed the 1970-1971 sea- son undefeated. The Maplettes finished off their fantastic season with a first at the State Invitational Meet held at Oakland University. Co-captain Cindy Smith rounded out her perfect season as she dove to a first, while teammate Linda Oxford came in third. Junior Dodie Austin swam to a first in the 25 yard backstroke in her best time ever, 15.4 seconds. Sophomore Nancy Nelson came in first in the 25 yard ,breaststroke in 17.3 seconds. Co-captain Patty Finn won the 100 yard free style in 58.6 seconds, to remain undefeated in that event. Senior Sally Eicker swam to victory in the 50 yard backstroke in 32.409 seconds. The 200 yard freestyle relay team C85 Season Undefeated of Shari Brown, Alice McCarthy, Gayle Wandal, and Deb Distler won in 1:55. At other meets, the combination of sophomore Nancy Nelson and junior Jean Hulburd practically guaranteed a first and second in the 25 yard breaststroke. Patty Finn was undefeated in the 100 yard In- dividual Medley, during the regular sea- son. Junior Gayle Wandal was undefeated in the 50 yard freestyle. Sophomore Claire Donaldson seldom lost in the 25 yard but- terfly. Great depth helped the Maplettes win their meets in this, the first year of Coach- ing for Mrs. Cook. Team work, coupled with Mrs. Cook's coaching led to an un- beatable combination.

Girls Are Enthusiastic For enthusiastic girls, 6:45 a.m. wasn't too early to practice basketball. Three days a week these twenty were ready to dribble, shoot, and play each other in preparation for three basketball games. Coach Mrs. Owens put the girls through such practice as, layup, rebounding, free throws and jump shot. The Berkley game was an utter disappointment to both teams. In the Marian game the J .V. team lost, but the Varsity won 20-12. The Marian coach asked Mrs. Owens for a rematch of the Varsity teams, which took place several weeks later. At the rematch it was once again the Seaholm team that came out on top. This year only four seniors came out for the team. These four were guards: Jane Grisier and Mary Ann Higbee, and forwards: Barb Harrison and Suzy Eick. Suzy Eick was the leading scorer with twenty-four points in one game. Jane Grisier's ball-handling and defensive ability made her a valuable asset to the team. Both Mary Ann Higbee and Barb Harrison were sure to be in on every play. For the first time boys' basketball rules were enforced, not the girls' game Csix man basketballl that has been played in previous years. The girls were happy about this change mainly because there was no center line rule which lets them cover more ground and have a less restricted game. With many returning girls, hopes are high for the 1972 team. 105
