Baaske Leads Team Having only a week of practice before the first game, showed up in the end result with a season record of 3 wins-13 losses. Our most exciting game was with Lebanon. They were a better team and we played to the best of our potentiaI, stated Coach Steve Gremmel, even though we did lose to them. The South Albany Spikers improved from last year in all aspects of the game with the exception of serving. They were a short team so played a better defense than offense, said Coach Gremmel. At the Awards Assembly, the Judy Bassett Memorial Award, in honor of the most inspirational player, went to Senior Sue Hanson. The most valuable player award, voted by the team, went to Junior Wendy Baaske. lt was a good year but very disappointing 'cause we lost the close games, stated Wendy Baaske. She filled in as captain of the team for Senior Teri Robertson after Teri broke her thumb. 2-5 -f-1 - ,., . L15 10-15-15 w.A1bany 1 15-1-17 5-12 N.

tits South Albany's fall play was shown November 18, 19, and 20. Wait Until Dark was a successful suspense drama, one of the first for South Albany . The play centered around a toy doll, stuffed with heroin, which comes up missing, setting the whole play in motion. The action took place in a basement apartment in Green- wich Village. The main character in the play was Suzy Hendrix, played by Linda Sonne, a blind and supposedly vulnerable young woman. Then there is Mike Talman, played by Gary Stroud, a pleasant, small time conman, and his co-worker, Sergeant Carlino, played by Ted Harrison. The Sergeant acts like he could kill anyone. There is Harry Roat, played by Steve Averman, a very mean and evil man who likes to put fear into other people. He tries to scare the whereabouts of the toy doll out of Suzy, But Suzy has never seen the doll. As Steve Averman put it, I think it was good, it demanded more acting ability. It was new and different. l CLOCKWISE: Harry Roat lSteve Avermanl tries to get Suzy Hendrix iLinda Sonnel to tell him where the Toy doll is. Gloria lRuby Jonsrudl helps Suzy with the reassurance that everything will be alright. 30 0 FALL PLAY Thespians Wait Un til Dark E 5 s
