Unity Spells Success Surprising everybody but them- selves, the varsity wrestling squad pinned down a 15-2 record, won the sectional championship, and quickly became the toast of the school. Coach Marty Freidman molded talent with experience, and just the right touch of brotherly love. The Harcus ' s (John and Tom) and the Agostino ' s (Joe, Pete, and Mike) proved nearly unbeat- able combinations. Other outstanding wrestlers were Ray Webber, Bob Szy- manski, Mike White, and Andy Cul- lum. Early in the season, the wrestlers forewarned their power — John Glenn (57-16) and North Judson (52-15) were early victories. Adams ended the first winning streak at 4 games, 32-31. The meet came down to the final match. The sectional trophy, our first ever, was a cumulative effort. Individual championships fell to Ray Webber, Bob Szymanski, and Pete Agostino. Finishing second were Tom and John Harcus, Tom Hoban, and Joe Agos- tino. But the team was 1, with 131 points. Bob Szymanski was the only Indian to qualify for the semi-state. TOP RIGHT: The Thrill of Victory is more than evident in the face of Ray Webber following his pin of a long-time rival in the first round of Regionals. ABOVE: A season of vast dedications and numerous workouts made it possible for Pete Agostino to display superiority over his opponent during Regional action. RIGHT: Intense concentration enables Tom Hoban to immobilize his opponent at the Regionals in New Prairie. 26 Wrestling

Saint Joe Skating Saints The Saint Joe Hockey Indians had a good season under the guid- ance of their coach, Mr. Dave Bar- net and assistant, Chris Policinslci. One big disappointment for the team happened on December 1 in the season ' s seventh game. Captain Matt Brach tore the hgaments in his left knee. On Dec. 6 he had surgery at Memorial Hospital. Matt re- mained an active captain, going to all the games and encouraging the team, although he could not phys- ically participate. At the hockey banquet, the cap- tain ' s stick was handed over to next year ' s captain, Chris Blanchard. The MVP and best forward awards went to Jim Lauer, and Jim Hiss received the award for best defense- man. The most improved was Joe Doran. Coach Dave Barnet ' s award for personal achievement was be- stowed on Rick Stanley. Bob Hickner earned the award of high scorer, and Matt Brach was the scholastic achiever for the year. The Hockey Indians skated to the finish of a great season, ending up third in the city division with a rec- ord of 18-9-2.
