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.

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 results of these efforts were donated to community fire victims. The boys, sponsored by Mr. Stofko were a hard working organization. This year, they sold T-shirts, which were used for everything from rags t0 hall passes, and sponsored the student- faculty basketball games. The students respon- sible for these successes were Craig Kern, Presi- dent, Dennis Fonta, Vice-President, Greg De- long, Secretary, and Jim Pletcher, Treasurer. Although these two clubs worked independ- ently, at the end of the year, their efforts were combined in the form of a picnic with good food, games, and fun. t 5 FIRST ROW: G. Delong, J. Fletcher, C.
