Poised for action, Zoltan Moruay meets his opponent. At the sound of the whistle beginning the final period, a Falcon attempts the escape which will bring him vital match points. The grimace of near defeat is evident on the face of this opposing grappler as another Falcon works for a pin. Two new teams made the scene at St. Joe's this year in the form of the swimming and wrestling teams. Perhaps the most determined and dedicated team at the school is the swim team. Lacking the needed facilities at the school, the team was forced to hold practices at 6:30 A.M. at the local Y.M.C.A. Despite the inconvenient conditions, the squad went on to have a winning record C6-5.j From this group, S-teve Lusky, state diving champ, will go on to represent New Jersey at an international diving competition to be held in England. The team was managed by Steve Pozycki and moderated by Brother Aldric. Due to student request, a wrestling team was started this year. The Student Council bought the mats for the team. One of the better wrestlers on the team was Student Council President Kirk Moore, who recorded a 39-second pin. The wrestling team was coached by Mister Vastola. It is hoped that the good showings this year will increase student interest, and thus lead to even better showings. 170 Following another pin, Falcon teammates congratulate Student Council President Kirk Moore.
