Sports Spectacular Marian Adams Opp. 2 1 St. Joseph ' s ' Riley Culver Military Niles 2 3 1 4 1 9 2 3 Brethren Christian 2 4 Riley (ot.) 2 3 Soccer this year, joined the already successful hockey team in the Adams club sports program. Junior Eldred MacDonnell, by an end- less telephoning process over the sum- mer, was the driving force in organizing the club which fielded 25 interested play- ers. As most players had some experience playing in the Michiana Soccer League over the last few summers, the team com- pleted its premier season with a 2-5 record and great prospects for the future. As expected, the hockey team was a bit shallow in numbers this season but more than made up for that in perform- ance. The skaters compiled a 22-8-1 record, their fourth consecutive 20 win season and third consecutive appearance in the league championship finals, finishing second. The highlight of the season came with the defeat of powerhouse Culver Military, eventual Indiana state champions. Adams was the only team all season to beat Culver. Once again Adams placed more play- ers on the league all-star teams than any other team. Jay Brasel, Dave Dziubinski, Dave Jaicomo, and George Scheel each placed on both the coaches ' and players ' all-star lists. Geoff Wharton joined Dziubinski, Jai- como, and Scheel among the league ' s top ten scorers. Dziubinski won the league scoring title, while Jaicomo was the leading scoring defenseman. The team once again loses a strong senior lineup, but says coach Pat McMahon We have some strong kids coming back, so we ' re looking for a promising season next year, too. t LEFT: Fighting off his opponent, junior George Patton keeps the ball under his control.

But. . . MICHIGAN JNUAL 3T0R iHICLE Department o( Natural Resources STATE PARKS ? ttg GStt CENTER: Suddenly realizing how close school really Is, students patiently wait in line to complete arena scheduling before returning to three more weeks of summer laziness and fun. Swimming . . . jogging . . . eating ice cream . . . lazing through the day . . . that ' s what makes summer vacation. Everyone finds their own way to spend that prized time of the year. Freshman Phyllis Lighthall loves watching ' All My Children ' , sleeping, and playing tennis. Sophomore Julie Wygant says she will miss the beach at Florida — but not people telling me to get something at the concession stand at Pottawatomi where I worked. Suntans and Tower Hill passes also are relics of those three carefree months. Junior Greg Gerran seems well aware of this, for he misses Tower Hill and all the girls. This was the summer that South Bend lost its parking meters and 18 year-olds their drinking rights in Michigan. The New York Yankees made one of the greatest comebacks in baseball his- tory, and our own John Adams Eagles went all the way to the semi-state. And this was the summer that ended twice for Adams students, who came back to school first in mid-August for arena scheduling and then again three weeks later for the actual beginning of classes. FAR ABOVE: Dan Kovas captures a typical scene at Tower Hill. Student Life 19
