In May class rings were ordered (cute, real cute). The two terrific people who had an easy job of advising this intel- ligent and well behaved class (WISH), Ms. Stefanich and Mr. Backer, deserve thanks for everything.

They defeated Sleepy Eye St. Marys and Sleepy Eye Public, before bowing out to Redwood Falls in the finals. Congratulations go out to Coach Swanson who was voted District 10 Coach of the Year .

Dave Menz, FAR LEFT, and Scott Tretbar, LEFT, advanced to the Region 3 meet in a total of 5 dif- ferent events, with Tretbar placing in both dashes at the Region meet. The remaining senior, Tim Caven, was hampered by a leg injury and therefore unable to compete at the district.

The highlight of the baseball season was the 10-0 win over Morgan in the first district game. Although Morton lost the second game to Sleepy Eye Sleepy Eye went on to take second place in the State. Coach Backer and Coach Swanson felt that the team greatly improved during the season with very fine per- formances by pitchers Randy Olson and Jim Gallery. Randy also led Morton in hitting with Joe Hennen and John Koerner hitting a close second. RIGHT: Randy Olson getting ready for a game.
