Girls' track team remains strong in all events This year's girls' track team did very well, thanks to the experienced talent of the upperclassmen and the fresh eagemess of the freshmen and sophomore girls. Everyone gave a commendable effort that pushed the team on past their expected, realistic goals of the season. The girls met up with some stiff competition this year and by keeping their expectations high, they were able to put forth an added effort and succeeded in up- setting a number of highly ranked teams. Events such as the shot put, long jump, and the equally as stren- uous long runs and sprints kept our Hawks interested in their own indi- vidual areas while working as a team. Girls' track will remain strong due to fine talent. ABOVE RIGHT: Carol Oprondek got ready to put the shot. RIGHT: In starting position were Liz Boesen and Kathy Fuhriman. BELOW: Girls' Track: Top.'

l 'SY 4. Basketball team has strong year The girls' basketball team had a very strong season again this year with JV finishing first and varsity taking second in conference. The strong performances of Sue Leonard, Meg Seng and Liz Boesen will be missed next year, but the outstand- ing talents of juniors Kathy Pabst, Mary Lee and Terry Lusigna will surely pull next yea.r's team through. A premature finish to this year's sea- son was the first regional game against Ressurection. Although South was ranked number one in the region, the team was setback due to a short season. Because of the up and coming competition in girls' basket- ball, South was unable to make a showing in the first IHSA state meet but will continue to keep a positive mental attitude.

Girl 's softball catches talent After completing a 1976 season with some outstanding new talent, our Maine South girl's softball team was prepared for a winning 1977 season. Returning this year were talented seniors Lori Duncan and Meg Seng, along with the support of fine junior Kathy Pabst. Without the dedication and hard work of all the girls and the fine coaching of Miss Voelz, outstanding records for the '76 and '77 seasons could not have been accomplished. Maine South's softball team also looked forward to competing in the state champion- ships with high expectations. South was extremely proud of this team. LEFT: Meg Seng showed off her pitching form.
