At the same competi- tions, Lisa Musselman placed 8th in the Senior balance beam division. The 18-member Port Perry High School gym- nastics team has concluded a successful season, pjacing second to O'Neill Collegiate in the Lake Ontario Schools finals. At the Central Ontario finals in Peterborough, a team of Lynette Jackson, Lisa Musselman, Annette Haines and Lee Ann Barclay finished in the top six teams. In addition to the two . competitors who took part in the all-Ontario 'finals last gymnasfics final competitions. month, one of the highlights this year for the team was a first place finish in the Intermediate class at an invitational meet in Lindsay. Those team members were Carol Dantzer, Tracey Hoare, Lynette Jackson, Sarah Johnson and Heather McDougall. Gymnastics coach Mrs. Petrie summed the season for the girls, called it '""an . excellent one." Two girls qualify by Danny Millar .. The girls from Port Perry High School stole the thunder from their male counter- parts during the first day of events at the Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Associ- ation track and field meet at: Oshawa's Civic Fields, Friday, May 8. In a rather disappointing Lisa Musselman won eight spot at the all-Ontario in the Senior balance beam for COSSA meet day, only two Rebels earned the right to advance to the following COSSA meet. Lisa Feasby came in fourth place in the Junior Girls Discus event with a toss of 27 metres. She finished behind Heather Sawyer of Clarke, who set a 'record in winning the event. Feasby's fourth place is the last qualifying spot for the next meet, which will also be held at Civic Fields. She ousted teammate Rhonda White for the final COSSA berth. White's best toss amounted to 25.80 meters. Both girls are juniors and should be around for two more years at least. - They were trained by coach Paul Arculus and their success augers well for the next couple of seasons. Another young female, first year sprinter Judy Brinkman, was the only other Rebel to get into the top four. She also took the last spot in the 80 meter hurdlers with a time of 15.48 in the finals. Earlier in the preliminaries, she ran a sparkling 13.97 seconds. She is midget age and, like White and Feasby, showed promise for coming years. The performances of the three girls may have set a tone for the Rebels season. While they may not walk . away with many ribbons this year, it is a young team dominated by first and second year athletes who, if they stay with it over the next four years, could . dominate in future. The Rebels sent several others to the finals in their events but they all came up |, short. Long jumper Kira Cope made the cut at the junior level but was ousted in the final. She was less successful at the 100 meter sprint where she came in fifth. Long distance runners Kelly West, Cheryl Dinault, Suzzanne Holy, Julie Ashton, and Dan Millar were all given walkovers into the finals of the 1500 meters because of insufficient numbers to run heats. None were even close to finishing in the top, with Ashton coming in last: (Turn to page 16) held in Toronto. Fi Ps ¥; 4 Lynette Jackson of Port Perry High School won a silver medal for her work on the Intermediate balance beam at a recent all-Ontario gymnastics competition Disappointing turnout to meeting! Return Grant Williams president of P.P.M.H.A by Danny Millar There were very few changes at the top at the recent Port Perry Minor Hockey Meeting as Grant Williams of Utica retained: his post as President for the second season. Mr. Williams is a veteran worker in the PPMHA. Two years ago he served as train- er on the Midget B all- Ontario provincial champ- ionship squad. During his stay in office, he was instrumental in arranging the second Sweden--Port Perry midget exhibition contest during the Christmas holidays, a game taken for the second year by the Pacers. He succeeded Jan Franssen, who's last term as President was two years ago. At the annual meeting then, Mr. Franssen was tersely critical of the people of Scugog who failed to attend the meeting, then held at the Latcham Center. Mr. Williams took the same stance at the most recent annual meeting, was held at the Town Hall. Asked if he was a little 'perturbed at the atten e, which was a scant zakopl Mr. Williams candidly re- plied. 'Yes, its more than a little bit (disappointing) but | that seems to be normal these days." s Earlier this season Mr. Williams voiced his concern over the fading numbers in registration, blaming sky- rocketing equipment and registration costs. A big headache he persevered through at the beginning of the season was the lack of Bantam House League players. There were only two teams in that loop this season. Another returnee to office is Paul Pelow, who resumes as First Vice-President. Mr. Pelow earned plaudits throughout the year for his (Turn to page 16) TG EN Sepa Xs Re »,
