We lost many games, but we never gave in. Lack of experience was the main reason. Although we tried hard, we never did win. Our captains inspired us with hope, Encouraged us and demonstrated skill. With loss in store at the end of our rope, It was Laura and Sharon who kept up our will. The forward line was very strong, With Karen in the center spot. Support from both Carols brought the ball long, To the circle where they'd set up a shot. lane, Patti, lean and Dinah were up front, Theresa and Caroline guarding the goal, While Carolyn Duggan was in on the hunt, All trying real hard with their sticks and soul. Coaches Blanchard and Anderson with patience Taught us to snarf, sprint, and all the rest. They kept up our spirits - even in the end. Thanks to you both, we think you're the best! The seniors will be missed by all the restg We wish you a good year and all the best. 24 to lend

Q- ,aw-avr -4491 U? isis-u Lo- 4' :Fi if 44 -1 - Al- x I BGYS' SOCCER For the Newton South Boys' Soccer Team, the season was one of growth, learning, and utter frustration. While the record of 1-8-3 was an improvement over last year's mark, the team still failed to fulfill its potential. Even so, we were in all but three games, with two of the ties occurring when our opponent scored with less than three minutes left in the game. What distinguished this year's team from the past was enthusiasm and a willingness to work hard. The team was young with returning seniors, Ken Robbins and Robert Schlossman, anchoring key positions in the de- fense. There were no stars on the team, but coaches Hans Westerkamp and Stelois Groussis expected every- one to do his best. What we lacked in skills and size we made up in determination and hustle. The season opened with an impressive 2-1 win over Concord-Carlisle. However, the team suffered a crippl- ing blow when, in the seasons debut, first string goalie Greg Brown was lost due to an injury. Nevertheless, next year's team, with a strong nucleus returning, should prove more competitive than this year's team. The new co-captains, Paul Aries and George Groussis, will be ably supported by Mike Duffy, Peter Schlossman, Keith Harris and Kyle Richards. The talents of leaving seniors Ken Robbins, Greg Brown, Robert Schlossman, Brian Duffy, Devin Stewart, Martin Bern, and Steven Pilavin will be greatly missed next year. if i irst Bow Martin Bern Roiert Schlossmin Devin Stewart Capt Greg Brown Capt Ken Robbins Bri in Duffx Brian McNally Stexen Pilaxin Second How Mike Duffv Harald Poulsen Paul Aries Daxid Miller Dixid Phillips lxxlt Richards keith Harris Ceorgt Croussis Third Bow Coach Stan Croussis Louis Dakovannis lly lx xe Eddie llZ Randy Wong Prter Sthlossmin Coich Hans Westerk imp if ,Y iw' .

astra--aw Q 1-A N4 , j ,H ,-W -ple - .wt ts w--a-...,.-, -......, restling The 1979-1980 season was to be a rebuilding one for the Newton South Wrestling Team. But many fine unex- pected performances were turned in from wrestlers. and the team finished the season with a record just below five hundred. Captain Ben Schwalb led the team by example on and off the mat. Coing into the final match of the season. Schwalb posted a perfect 14-0 record. Ben also took first place in the Catholic Memorial Christmas Tournament at 140 lbs. Senior Scott Buffington was also a key factor in the success of the team, Buffington wrestled ex- ceptionally well all season, and he placed second in the Christmas Tourney at 147 lbs. Next years team will miss the fine wrestling of Schwalb and Buffington. Cther members of the team turned in strong perform- ances to account for the teams victories. Senior Andy Payne filled in at 134 lbs. early in the season to help out the squad. At 100 lbs., Iunior Rick Iaques and Soph- omore Lee Silverstein picked up many key victories for the team. First year Iuniors, Phil Miller and Bill Rey- nolds, at 187 and 167, respectively, showed great prom- ise for the future as did Sophomores, Scott Brightman at 114 and David MacDonald at 128. Iuniors, Brad Croper, Andy Cohen, and Carl Shishmanian, showed much im- provement from their first years and will provide strength for next year's squad. The team's success is due to the hard work of Coaches Chuck Hurwitz and Paul Murphy.
