Iackson tournament at Brooks for the third consecutive year as well as the Interscholastics, the team has managed to improve its unoffi- cial national ranking from third place C831 to second. The teamis main strength was its depth: we lost only four individual matches throughout the season - and of course the members' enthusiasm and support for each other. With only two seniors, Schwarz and Theobald, leaving, and with the re- turning trio of Clayton fcaptain- electl, Smith and Handy eager to continue the strong tradition established in the last two years, next year's team should be quite a ' .. . Tf 1lUPf,f:Ws:.1 .- . ,. .,.. .,r- . . 'M - success. Last but certainly not the least, the newly established Swim team. The following is from Captain Ion Rice: The Swim team has come a long way since we first started in Ianuary. A number of the swim- mers were first-timers, but every- one pulled together and by the end of the season we seemed to have the makings of a real team. I feel that almost everyone on the team has made some improvement in both endurance and time. The first season is always the most difficult, and, in view of this year, it seems that next yearis team will be really impressive. We had no meets this 90 E S i l l year, but that is to be expected. Hopefully the potential developed this year will materialize in 1985? And here is a message to Ion from the team: L'The members of Milton's first lofficialj Swim team would like to express our gratitude to Ion Rice for his hard work and dedication leven when we weren't so dedicatedl, for without him we would never have made it into the water this year. Thanks Ion!!

sion, Milton finished with a re- spectable 7-7 record. Go-captains Iohn Micheletto and Neil Mooney maintained team spirit and unity and provided a beneficial experi- ence for all associated with the program. The graduating seniors shall continue on with a great suc- cess while leaving a strong tradi- tion to next year's team, and espe- cially to the captains-elect Mike Moran and Tim Mackey. This year's Volleyball team had its toughest season in a long while. Since five Varsity players gradu- ated last year, we had to recruit some less experienced players. However, we managed to form a IV team that went undefeated, and a Varsity team that defeated Gover- nor Dummer for the first time in three years in their undefeated sea- son. Varsity ended their season with a 7-3 record. Captain Kath- leen Flatley remarked, Although we sometimes entered a game with the wrong attitude, we always came out on top, aware of our mis- takes as well as our successes. I think that what led us through the season is that we always remained headstrong and confident in our capabilities. Next year, under the leadership of captain Gaity Meaney, the Volleyball team will be successful. Under the guidance of coaches Richard Griffin and Thomas Flaherty, the Wrestling team had a stellar season, winning all their fif- teen dual meets. We capped the season by winning the Graves Kelsey tournament, crowning Pat Flaherty and co-Captain Iohn Kol- tun as individual champions. Flaherty, in addition, won the tournament's most valuable wres- tler award. Des Curran, co-Captain, won the most fallsfleast time award. Indeed, the only award the team failed to receive was the most improved team award. Good luck to next year's team. This has been an electrifying season for the Girls' Squash team. With many new players, we proved that depth is not always achieved through experience. The team worked together generating enthusiasm and determination. A brilliant victory over St. Paulis, 6- 1, for the first time in girls' squash history, marked the start of the Milton squash Chamber Swingers' Crescendo to the top. The best of P luck to next year's team and a bless- ing for the new courts. The Boys' Squash team also rolled up a list of honors unmatched in Milton squash history. In addi- tion to being undefeated for the second consecutive season fthe win streak presently stands at 271 and in addition to winning the 89
