Determined Golfers Swing to Win Perseverance and a deep determination to do their best form the essence of what Coach Dick Black has instilled in the members of the OHS golf team. Although this year's record was not remarkable, the golfers won two of their nine meets. In the five-member squad there was only one senior, Carl Loberg. Bob Than, although only a iun- ior, was appointed captain because of his two-year performance on the squad. With four out of five of the members returning, the prospects for the coming season certainly look bright and hopeful. Putting seems to be something a golfer can practice forever without really mastering, but practice does pay off as B. Thon sinks one on the third green. l'll will you my dentures, murmurs D. Miller through clenched teeth. Two other senior golfers, J. Gute and J. Thurnau hold Doug down as J. Dinsmore prepares to tee off under highly unusual conditions. The taste of victory brought smiles as the golf team posed for their group picture. FRONT ROW: C. Freeburg, M. Grulke, N. Bartsch, N, Nelson, Mr. Black. ROW 2: S, Lenker, C. Bartsch, C. Loberg, B.
