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

129 Q33 Volleyballers Try Hard To Win For the volleyball team defeat came hard. It could not have been for lack of work, but probably from lack of sleep. For three mornings a week at 6:45 a.m. for ten solid weeks, these girls practiced bumping, setting, spiking, saving, and serving to make the varsity team. Twelve girls were chosen by Mrs. Owen, coach, for the varsity team, with the other sixteen playing on the J .V. squad. With a total of twenty-eight girls, Mrs. Owen had quite a choice of varsity team girls. This year's season was highlighted by a dinner after the last game, at which mock awards were presented. Only three seniors tried out for the team this year, and all three are on the varsity team. These three are Suzy Eick Cco-captainj, Sara Herold, Jane Grisier Cco-captainl. They will surely be missed next year. After all their work, the SMA season proved disappointing to the girls. The varsity record was 3-7 and the J .V. record was 0-5 at the end of the season. About the best game played was the Southfield game, in which the second match went beyond the usual fifteen point score to determine the winner. The result of that match: Seaholm winning, but losing the third match and the game. Some beautiful sets and spikes were seen in that game. Mrs. Owen is looking forward to a better season next year although the team will be lacking the three seniors.
