Doran, Assistant CoachJ This year the growth of the wrestling squad reflected the growth that has taken place in the field of wrestling since it has been becoming a popular sport throughout the past few years. Wrestling is an exciting sport and, as Mr. Joe said, it encompasses speed, skill, and strength. More and more people were finding this out, as the crowds at the meets kept becoming larger. At the start of the season, the Colonial grapplers were picked as one of the favorites for the League Championship; but due to untimely injuries and sickness to key matmen, and other such problems, the team did not - realize it,s goal. Nonetheless, P-W was highly respected in the League Wl'eStllng thanks to the skill of our top wrestlers like Bill Racich, who finished with one of the best wrestling records this school has produced, Dennis Fonte, and Chuck Leonard. Next year promises to be even better, since the majority of this yearis team was composed of sophomores and juniors.

The chess team, itself, was comprised of the clubis five best players: seniors, Larry Fleming and Richard Gang- wisch, who played first and sec- ond boards, and three sopho- mores. Morgan Conrad, the most outstanding underclass- man, played third board. The team competed with other schools in the North Sub- urban League on Friday after- noons and managed to build quite a name for themselves in competition. Mr. Staub is look- ing forward to an even better year next year. LEFT TO RIGHT: R. Furman, M. Conrad, D. Weinstein, R. Gangwisch, J . Nederostek, S. Herman, R. Wheeler, B. Leo- pold, J. Ojanpera, M. Hess. During the sixth year, under Mr. Sparanois sponsor- ship, the Bowling Club continued to present a great way to spend one after- noon a week. A high score was no longer a requirement this year, because the Bowling Club was mainly an enjoyable pasttime, which helped fill the activi- ty lull between the fall and winter sports seasons.

Colonial Girls and Wrestling Belles Who were all those pretty girls distributing programs at the basketball games? They were. the Colonial Girls. In case you didn,t notice, there were more of them this year,'but they were called the Wrestling Belles, and they worked at the wrestling meets . The Colonial Girls were es- tablished last year, so the hard part of their job, that of raising school support of basketball games, had already been ac- complished. However, the Belles, who just started this year, had to devote most of their time to arousing interest in the wrestling meets. FIRST ROW: M. Manning, D. Mcnett, K. Frankel, C. Taylor, P. Brown. SECOND ROW: K. Albertson, C. McAdam, L. Fazio, C. Thomas, P. Leish, G. Friend. LEFT TO RIGHT: M. Gottlieb, J . Williams, C. Thomas, A. Kettels, C. Miller, D. Liberman, C. Dooley, M. Obermaier, E.
