The Panther racketmen had a very tough schedule to look forward to in early spring. The Panthers twice played Ottawa Hills and Sylvania, two of the tougher teams in the state. After two opening losses the team reeled off five straight wins, including two over Clay and Bedford. The racketmen ' s spirits were dampened when the rest of the season ended in defeat. Four of the top seven varsity were returning lettermen. They were seniors Roger Rosen, Mark Chinnis, and Bob Striggow, and junior Brad Dolgin. Other members of the varsity were sophomore Pete Silverman and juniors Joel Scheinbach and Alan Palmiter. TENNIS TEAM: Row 1: K. Cooper, B. Dolgin. J. Flaum. R. Rosen. R. Lerner. M. Edgar.

The wins of the golf team came from days of practice. The 1971 Whitmer linksters were handicapped by a show of individuality among a few of the players during the opening matches of the season. For the majority of the season the team was led by underclassmen, due to the lack of senior leadership. Nearing the middle of the season, teamwork pulled the play- ers together and led them to a successful second half, thanks to a cracking down by Coach Powell Kingsley. The golf season was highlighted by a greatly disputed match between Whit- mer and Rogers. Senior Tom Barnes was penalized for a peculiar situation that occurred on the 18th green at Whiteford Valley Golf Club. He had to replay a previous shot which had ricocheted off the pro shop roof onto the putting sur- face. Tom failed to duplicate his previous sco re on the hole, thus costing Whit- mer the match. In Whitmer ' s match against district champion Sylvania, the fine play of ju- nior Jeff Norris prevented the Wildcats from whitewashing our linksters. Two awards were presented at the spring sports banquet this past year. The first award went to junior Jeff Norris for ability and leadership shown through- out the season. The second award was presented to senior Kirk Hamilton for his outstanding display of sportsmanship. Outstanding seniors on the team proved to be the brother duo of George and John Crawfis and Chuck Turner. Junior standouts proved to be Jeff Norris, Gary Ruff, and John Schumaker.
