It should be more widely introduced in grade schools, commented senior Kevin Hutchinson. It takes a great deal of discipline and determina- tion, added senior Gan Gin. Determination and discipline were accompanied by sore, tight muscles and blisters. According to Coach Mike Mazelin, Longer distances required a lot more work and endurance, but I noticed they were doing it. Hard work paid off for the Cross Country run- ners, especially top runner Steve Crabtree who earned everything he got in awards, according to Coach Mazelin. Steve was not alone in special mention. Jim Erlen- baugh also received honors for his diligence and stamina. Six other team members earned letters and four were returning letter winners. Cross Country improved the season record and increased the number of participants. Running wasn't the only sport that demanded stamina and skill. Tennis players worked up a sweat and experienced the sore muscles too. Faced with a new coach and a tough season, they put forth outstanding effort and strength. I'm proud of them and have big plans and hopes for next year, commented Coach Larry Neidlinger. With the three senior players graduating, the team planned to recruit earlier next season and gain more manpower. Both teams had fun with the seasons too. Cross Country veterans initiated newcomers by having them do sit-ups and push-ups in a muddy creek. If tradition continues, new members will have much to look forward to, rewards both in success and friendships made. LINE 'EM UP, Move 'em out . . . Running in a pack, Cross Country runners fight for a lead that they can maintain for a victory against Baptist Academy.

This success came despite the early promotion of Melissa Brzezinski and Sandy Kleifgen to the varsi- ty squad. Said Coach Rita Robbins, The girls did an excellent job in adjusting to the changes in the team. The strongest po ints of this group were, as Miss Robbins stated, our fioor coverage and team co- operation. To help further this total team effort. Coach Robbins encouraged all returning members to play organized volleyball in the off-season in or- der to prepare for a stronger team next fall. Another boost to the spirit was a trip to Ben Davis to attend a clinic featuring the Women's Olympic team. From this. Coach Robbins derived new drills, exercises, and ball passing skills. I think it benefit- ted all who attended, including myself, said Miss Robbins. Freshmen, with a 1 1-2 season pleased their coach with their hard work and positive attitude. Mrs. Staton, a graduate of lUPUI, played volleyball there, and commented favorably about their pro- gram and the opportunity for girls to get athletic scholarships. They have a well-developed program for a small school, said Coach Staton about 1 alma mater. Frosh were especially proud of their victory o' • Chatard, whose varsity and reserve teams won i : city tournament. During tournament play, they seemed to fl down a little, probably because of nervousness a I lack of experience with competition. But there ; much talent and determination among the group ■ draw on for future junior varsity and varsity pla; Noreen Pluckebaum showed a great deal spunk and ability in serving and spiking, but it hard to single anyone out. They all did an outstar ing job, said the coach. The team worked on fundamental skills so i their victories would not depend on haphazard sb ping, slamming, and luck. Luck did prevail in the Ritter game, even thou the opposition lacked skill, but this was rare. Sk usually won. HERE BOY! Here boy!
