An Aspiring Experience Stressing trust and the importance of working together, the track team was, for the first time, referred to as co-ed instead of consisting ot individual boys and girls teams. Aspiring to build experience while placing as many people as possible in the North Puget Sound League, the young team strove to improve their overall physique and individual skills. Members practiced daily from three to five thirty P.M., with meets on Friday afternoons. Besides getting track members ready for NPSL, coaches faced the challenge of motivation and keeping the students in good shape throughout the long season. Staying in good condition is especially hard at the season's beginning, disclosed eighty-year track Coach Bonnie Gibson. People pull muscles or something at the beginning and the season may as well be over. We don't want that to happen. ln concurrence with the goal of working together, the Coaches frequently statedg We're just one big happy famiIy! Laughed Mrs. Gibson after recalling one student's comment, They even started asking to borrow my car keys! it. amisumag Sr X ' 4 J.BAsh3. 1.

Hard Workers Master Game Adeptness While the team strove to win the state championship, soccer coach Mr. Fritz Benedetti, a Ger- man exchange teacher, set out to expose team members to different game techniques not found in books. There's only one major skill every soccer player attempts to achieve, this being the ability to kick the ball into the opponents goal, explained Benedetti. As a coach my job is to make sure the team has fun while trying to develop the skills to get the ball to the goal. In addition to mastering game adeptness, team mates acquired sportsmanship while improving social contact. To improve overall performance, soccer members practiced diligently week days from three to tive-thirty to better prepare for Tuesday and Friday night games. When asked his biggest coaching challenge, Benedetti promptly replied, Getting along with all the player's strong personalities! He also added how interesting it was to watch the dif- ference between students in the class and on the field. ln sports students accept the fact that they can't all be superstars. They are more honest in their self-evaluations in the sports-fields than the classroom. lt makes them want to work even harder for sell-improvement! The team progressed all throughout the season, and at the end I feel everyone was playing at their highest potential, commented senior Sean Ouinn as Mike Kelly added, The team work- ed hard and everyone played together well. It made us a stronger team and allowed an even fun- ner seasonl H. Bratnschweig D.Johnson1, ,av- ,.lohneon2 1.
