Initial Season Successful Replacing bowling as a girls interscholastic sport, the first girls' basketball teams at the Watseka High School ended their season with a 4- 5 varsity record and a 3-5 jayvee record. An enthusi- astic group of around 25 girls tried out for the team, but only eight girls were picked for the varsity squad and nine for the jayvee team. Coached by Mrs. Bar- bara Redeker, the teams gained experience to be uti- lized in the future. Only six seniors graduated so there will be ten underclassmen returning from both squads . Mrs. Redeker considers this as a building year and hopes next year brings more good luck.

New Coach Demands Total Dedication In his first year as head coach, Mr. Sutfin demanded total dedication from his boys . Although they had a record of l and 2 in dual meets and l and 5 in trian- gular meets, the Warriors captured lst place in the County Meet, 3rd in the Conference, and 4th at the District. Two members of the squad, Bruce Mueller and Eric Sloter, then ad- vanced to state competition. Not to be overlooked are the records that were set or tied. New school records were set by Bruce Mueller in the mile and by the 2 mile relay team. Kurt Tever- baugh set a school record as well as a county record in the triple jump, and the 440 yard relay team tied the county record. The fresh. -soph. squad completed the season win- ning a triangular event and finishing l and l in dual meets. 82 Boys Track WEIGI-ITMEN - FRONT ROW - Bob Mitchell, Dennis Mancuso, John Sloter.
