OVER THE RIVER AND These are the long distance runners, sometimes called harriers. These are the people who train hard to be able to run a 2.5 mile course without having to stop and gasp for breath. These are the people about whom the book, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner was intended. Running cross country is a very lonely race once the contestants break loose from the large starting field. Running 2.5 miles, the competitotrs stretch out over a distance of perhaps a half mile or more before they reach the finish line. Often times, on a hilly or winding course, the runner is totally alone unable to see anyone ahead or behind. It is at that point where the real harrier appears. It takes a great deal of self determination to keep pushing oneself when there is no one around to see the effort. The girls have been continuing such an effort for a number of years and they have been doing it alone. There just weren't enough boys to make up a team. This year the boys came out and Quincy fielded both a boys and a girls team for the first in many years. Cross Country just doesn't have the glamor associated with other sports. Seniors Steve Sullivan and Tom Logan came out and joined senior girls Sarah Lemos, Deanna Crespi, Kim Ellis, and Julie Coste. Over the years the girls have always faired well and this year the boys demonstrated that they will become a force with which to be reckoned. Coach John Franceschini actually got more boys to become harriers than he had girls on the team. That was totally unex- pected but a wonderful surprise. He hopes that next year the numbers will equalize. 1. Sarah Lemos races across an open part of the course. 2. Julie Coste manages a smile as she notices the camera ahead. 3. Standing.

PUTT-PUTT, IT ISN’T! The Quincy Golf team showed a mark- ed improvement over the record of last year under the leadership of Coach Robert Sylvia, Assistant George Peachey and captains Wayne Chambers and Greg Chambers. With only two seniors, Keith McCray and Dan O'Brien who played, the outlook for next year is outstanding as most of the team will be returning. As with many of the small teams, the golf team will remember riding to matches in the infamous Sierra. It's in four-wheel drive, Mr. Peachey. g 1. Fabio Sala addresses the ball. 2. Captain Creg Chambers figured he'd take advantage of Mr. Sylvia. If a member of the team won, Mr. Sylvia would provide a hockey stick (?) and a pack of golf balls, but if they lost Mr. Sylvia got a pack of cigars. 3. Standing, L to R: Coach Robert Sylvia, Erik Abboud, Creg Chambers, Wayne Chambers, Larry Beguerie, Dan O'Brien, and Joe Demaggio. Kneeling: Tom Mayo, Mike Ward, Fabio Sala, and Steven Freel. 4. Dan O'Brien eyes the pin location. 5. Erik Abboud squints to keep the sun out of his eyes. 6. Captain Wayne Chambers gets ready to play an easy shot. 28 photo by Lincoln Studio». MO»y by Keith McCray
