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.

GONGGGGGU! The second annual Gong Show earned its applause by bringing to light the many talents of John Adams students. There was some disappointment in the show, however, People took it too seri- ously — like it was Hollywood, said Jim Gooley, president of the sponsoring stu- dent government. But Norman Sakara and Carl Weiss deservingly took the prize with their drum FAR ABOVE LEFT: Kevin ' s Waz and Lennon fulfill their life-long fantasies of performing on the great Little Theater stage. 22 Student Life It wasn ' t a bad show. There was something for everyone to see, said Gooley. The whole thing was to have a good time. Despite the problems, the show will continue to be an annual event. And due to its tremendous popularity, it might be moved to the auditorium next year. ABOVE LEFT: This year ' s expert panel consisted of Ms. Ann Germano, Ms Paulette Cwidak and Mr. Ed Szucs.
