i Like the aquatic seal. Jessica Dempsey uses her nose to balance the ball. The girls' basketball team barely survived the season without a manager. Forgetting the towels and basketballs might seem trivial, but for the girls that gave their utmost determination and perspiration at Kettle Moraine, it proved to be one of those hardships one learns to endure. But despite the minor difficulties, the team finished with a conference record of 3 wins and 4 losses. They managed to break even overall with a 5-5 record. Coach Delany and the girls had the pleasure of practicing with Maria Lundgren, the Swedish AFS student. Maria was one of six seniors providing leadership for the three juniors and two sophomores. Ann Fellows was chosen honorary captain and Judy Hans, also a great asset to the team, was picked Most Valuable Player. They received these honors from their teammates for helping provide the knowledge and guidance that the girls needed to further improve their team.
