INTO THE POOL Every day Coach Jane, ’'eyes would meet the Girl's Swim Team at Lincoln Hancock's pool to practise. It was an interesting situation since Coach Keyes is not a teacher and made her way to the pool from home. Also interesting was the fact that Lincoln Hancock is the only Quin- cy Public School pool. This meant that North Quincy practised with us. We always had competition. The number of young ladies who par- ticipate in swimming has been increasing over the last couple of years. There are a large number of sophomores and juniors on the team who started as freshmen and there seems to be a desire to keep the pro- gram on the upswing by the student body.

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.

PLAY IT AGAIN, LAUREN This season seemed to be starting out as a disaster. Sophomore, Nancy Laitinen, one of the starting middle blockers was out for two months because of mono and senior Terry Duggan developed a stress fracture in her foot. Terry was supposed to be out for eight weeks, but it ended up being the entire season. These were a great psychological blow to the remaining players. However, tri-captains, Ginny Duggan, Sue Parry, and Lauren Standring tried to pull everything together for the opening game. Double sessions were the usual endless, pains-taking, tortuous drills. Every player will remember Hendy's (Coach Tom Henderson) voice bellowing, O.K., Rookies on one side. Veterans on the other.” The team had a new and deman- ding assistant coach, Christine Gallery. I am sure no one will forget the Deadly” defense drills with Christine. The season was a success. For the fifth consecutive year, the Quincy High School Volleyball Team was the Suburban League champion. The team settled for a 16-1 record. The starting six were Lauren Stan- dring, Ginny Duggan, Sue Parry, Corrinne Fitchner, Amy Guidice, and Nancy Laitinen. Senior Diane Parry came into the games in the front court for her sister Sue and did some great blocking. Freshman, Randi Gaura did a great job in the backcourt for Nancy. The season's highlights were the jam- packed” rival games against North Quincy (We beat them in all three meetings.) and always having a cheering section whether we were home or away. It was great having parents and students and teachers show up at every game. The season's downers were the single regular season loss to Cambridge Rindge Latin and losing Terry Duggan for the season. . 1. Diane Parry leaps upward to block a shot. 2.
