VOL. V, NO. 15
JUNE 9, 1964
THE VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM can look forward to a successful '64-'65 season on the hardcourt. Although they will be losing John Gabbert, Dave Aegerter, Denny Gundling, and AllStater Joe Wehlacz, the Warriors will still field a strong team led by Stoney Jackson, Jim Smith, and Bill Verber.
THE VARSITY DIAMONDMEN are going to be a real threat to this year's State champs. With six out of nine juniors on this year's starting squad, the talent has shown itself in fine style. The only thing that could keep the Warriors down is a lack of depth in the pitching staff. At present, Stoney Jackson is the only junior hurler for the West.
AFTER AN UNDEFEATED Conference season last year, and a good core of returning lettermen, the varsity football team will be, by far, the team to beat in the Mid‑Suburban League next year. The gridders will be led by Charlie Curren, All‑Conference tailback, and Jim Cichowski in the fullback slot.
THE VARSITY MATMEN will be looking for key men next year. With the loss of eight starters the wrestlers will have to work hard to take this second straight varsity Conference title. Leading the Men from Maine will be Jim Cichowski, Al Kruse, John Fowler, and John Krumpos.
FOR THE SWIMMING TEAM the 1964-65 season will definitely be a time for rebuilding. The tankers will be without such key men as Jim Byrne in the 200-yard individual medley; Eric Berg and Bill Schacht, freestylers; John Gunderson, the Conference backstroke champion; Jim Hyerdall, a key figure in the freestyle relay; and Jimo Kuhrt, who holds the pool and school records in the 100-yard breaststroke.
However, juniors Dick Heller, Tom Junius, Dave Ladendorf, and Craig Vosburgh are strong freestylers. Sophomore Reed Erven, already a school record holder, will be back in the 200‑yard individual medley. Rick Fulle and Tom Gast will swim the 100‑yard beaststroke and the 100‑yard butterfly, respectively.
WITH THE LOSS OF FOUR LETTERMEN, Coach David Henry's varsity golfers will have a rebuilding job to do next year. Clyde Rowells, who placed fifth in the Districts this year, will be back along with junior hopeful Bob Means. However, a lot of strength will have to be found if the Warriors are to become a serious threat.
LOSING BRUCE CONGALTON, DALE LUZINSKI, and Bob Tatge will hurt next year's track team, but it still should be very successful since several fine juniors will return.
THE CROSS COUNTRY TEAM should prove to be a strong contender next year, due to the fact that 90 per cent of its scoring last season was done by juniors. Phil Martin. Kevin Flurkey, and others will replace seniors like Bob Biggs who starred on the team for four years. Returning also will be most valuable runner, John Greco, along with Don Kinder, Tom Johnstone and Lloyd Schlegel.
"NEXT YEAR'S TENNIS TEAM will have much more experience and depth than this year's team. It should be very strong," revealed Coach Roger King. Five lettermen will be returning next year. They are Jim Richards, Bob French, Claude Stewart, Dennis Doyle, and Rob Reinhart. Three of these‑French, Stewart, and Doyle‑are this year's Conference champs. Six strong sophomores will also be advancing to the varsity level to add strength.
THE VARSITY GYMNASTICS TEAM which this year placed second in Conference with a four win one lost record, will again pose as a strong contender for the Conference championship next year. The gymnasts have a good chance to improve on their eight win seven lost record. John Kennett and Bill Bach will lead the musclemen. Both boys went to the State meet this past year.
