Kneeling: Coach Peter Morrison, David Silva, Paul Johnson, Tom Argy, Steve Curtis, Bruce Mann. When the Gordon Tech Fencers be- gan our season, we were shaken. Al- though last year we had an exper- ienced State Championship team and were proud of it, that was what we were worried about. Graduation took our entire Epee team and all the Foil Team except Tom Argy. We knew there was talent on the team, but we were inexperienced. It was difficult for the two seniors, Captain Luis Scaramuzza and Tom Stanley to ac- cept that this season would be a time for the team to gain experience. As the season approached, we be- gan to feel confident. We were shaping up. Another boost was the appearance of Alumnus Bruce Ward, the 1978 State Foil Champion, who was going to help coach us. We strengthened our confidence during the preseason meet where we had a 5-1 record against our competition for this year. Next we be- gan the season by fencing our tradition- al rival New Trier East, who we had barely beaten the previous week. We knew they wanted revenge, but we knew we could beat them. This meet was the harbinger of the way most of the season went. Led by a es Luis Scaramuzza lunges, but his attack is deflected, as both bollguards come violently together. Tom Argy’s strong performance and by the fencing of Dave Silva and Steve Curtis Gordon won the foil strip 6-3 But NTE had a veteran Epee Team.
