Girls bowl over with spirit during competition The girls' bowling team,under the direction of head coach, Mr. Scott Davis, encountered a few problems pocketing their wins. The girls led off with several striking victories, but fell into a slump. However, high spirits and team effort kept the girls' confidence up and they were able to accumulate more wins. The varsity team finished with an eight win - eleven loss record, while the sopho- more team pulled a ten win - nine loss record. A bright spot in the lanes was var- sity team member Lisa Lait. As a sophomore and two year member of the girls' bowling team, Lisa was recognized as an All-Conference bowler. She also was noted for hold- ing the third highest game in Dis- trict Tournament.

ractice pays off for girls, gymnastics team Flip-flops, walkovers, and round- off backs were just a few of the skills that the members of the girls' gym- nastics team strived to perfect. The gymnasts practiced six days a week for several long and strenuous hours, and with the help of Coach Susan Culp and Assistant Coach J ack Bambrick, they had a year with new strength and energy. The varsi- ty's season of nine wins and three losses, and the frosh-soph's record of six wins and one loss were evidence of their new spirit. At districts, the varsity team won first place and Barb Katsaros, most valuable freshman, took first for her performance on the balance beam and the uneven bars. The girls also received second place at the SICA North conference meet. At the sea- son's end, Nicky DiRito and Donna Gonzales were presented with the Most Valuable Player awards by fel- low teammates.
