Swimmers Go Co-Ed For the first time in FHS history, the swimming team was coed. We didn't know how the season would turn out, but we were very optimis- tic, explained Coach james Shevlin. In light of this development, there was fierce competition for po- sitions on the team. Excelling in their performances were Robert Levine, lavier Montalvo, and Alex Perillo. Our main problem was to devel- op coordination in the medley relay, where we have two girls and two boys dividing strokes in the course, commented Coach Shevlin. Practice was held at Bayside High School every Tuesday and Friday. Despite the distance involved in traveling between FHS and Bayside, members of the team declared their optimism openly. Although we have to travel a good distance for our practice meets, I feel this helped us in overcoming many obstacles and mentally prepared us for the ac- tual meets, stated Robert Levine.

Football Team Rebuilds Our biggest problem this year was inexperience, said first year coach, Chazz Schoenfield of his football team, the Red Devils. We lost twelve starting seniors to gradu- ation and our two starting tackles, Tony Goetz and George Penaher- rera were not even on junior Varsity ,last year. A junior Varsity program was initi- ated by the coach to correct that situation. The program consisted of five seasonal games to provide play- ers like Goetz and Penaherrera with valuable game experience. Although Mr. Schoenfield consid- ers all his juniors outstanding play- ers, the success of next year's squad should be determined by the perfor- mances of running back Dan De- Leon, defensive back Mike Callahan, quarterback Tony Perez, offensive tackle George Penaherrera, defen- sive tackle Tony Goetz, and wide re- ceivers Cornell Chestnut and Guy DeDonna. Only five starting seniors, corner- back james Scott, running back Rob- ert LeeTom, center Len Aguanno, and guards jeff Wright and jim Sa- lemo will be lost to graduation. Oth- er seniors whose absence will be felt are split end Howie Carr, defensive back Kevin Good, and linebacker Brian Heavey. 1 dmlgvlka 5 '-5 ' Ev iilitidm-...JL --fa.: if -s .4-. 'S-2415 t -..

Girls Volleyball For most of the girls this was their first year and they worked very hard, said Wendy Trontz, coach of F.H.S.'s Volleyball team. Unfortu- nately, it takes about three years to build a good volleyball team. The team was led by seniors Den- ise Sumpter, Denise Hawkins, Vickie Coumnas, and Luz Rojas. Standout juniors were Chris Matthews, Zena Rebacoff, and captain Laura Sheer. The loss of junior jackie Sifflet due to a knee injury was a severe blow to the squad's aspirations to a playoff berth. . k I .
