Driving through a small Wisconsin village Sunday af­ ternoon we saw a Christmas wreath on a front door. Just getting an early start for the '76 celebration we presume. 'Twas nice to meet and greet Mrs. Harry Eckland -- still showing a healthy Florida Tan. Met a fellow the other day who was bemoaning the fact that he had been slighted by someone he had previously helped.

Our neighbor George Schreiner, who has seen a lot of summers come and go, is all set for another one. Why else would he put away his winter hat and drag out his straw bonnet -- farmer style hat?

Cheryl Zumski and Brenda Ryan are the authors and it covers the past three seasons. Read it, you will enjoy it. T4mi„AO THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS 1973 There we were, Cheryl and me Sophomores, both of us and our team, of the crop, we were the cream. Winning matches along the way, we have a record we're proud of today. From Zion Benton to Crown, we've had our up6 and downs, our reversals and our pins, our losses and our wins. Ludwigsen's birthday came and went, even with a cake that was slightly bent. To end on a sad note that year, To Florida went Mr. Palmateer. That was the year that was. V 1974 Here we are again once more. The changes were many and for the best, Now we were one of those, part of West. Sobczak was our new coaches name, And from Wakeashaw he brought lots of fame. Scanlin, Lane and Eppel too Were taken to Rockford to show what they could do. Scanline continued and went down to State, and when he came home, he was number eight. , We remember the times we had on the bus, with all of the guys making fun of us. The tournament at Harvard we remember, it was held during the snowy month of December. You did your best to beat that guy, and even he thought you were pretty sly. You ran and ran to lose that weight, just for the goal, "to get down State." We learned a lot that very same year, Like always listen when he hear, "Bloody nose, don't you worry, Don't run for the towel in such a hurry," It's just a move as you shall see a move that made us look quite naive. The only time we wern't treated like one of the guys, was at the banquet when we got our prize. A prize that will stay with us all through the years, A thanks filled with happiness and many tears. That was the year that was. 1975 Well we made it and we're still alive. Now we have more mat girls that we know what to do, And we want to thank each and every one of you. From Mai to Frantz to Fink and Rowe, we knew we could do it but we started out slow. With Nuss and Swanson we had our team. Those boys we knew were the Warrior Machine. With Hutch and Thornton our team was complete, We looked to them when we didn't want defeat. A lot was put on Christopher's shoulders, but with him the Warriors seemed just a bit bolder. And when we won that was when we knew nothing would change the way we grew, But when we lost, we knew we tried, Our pride was something we could not hide. When we wrestled we did our best, we went in there seriously no jest. And when we won we were quite happy, Then the crowds became quite clappy. We had the sign outside changed to let the public know what wrestling had arranged. To Harvard we went once more. But our Warriors did not seem to score. That didn't matter cuz the next week We went out and just could not be beat. Conference was loaded with much to see, Such as Compton and Moll, Freund and Dobbie. Districts were held at Antioch as we wrestled on went the clock. We did our best to beat the foe, and all the fans cheered, GO GO Go. Barrington was the spot for sectionals this year, Schuster was our best that was very clear. Our boys went down to see the great. Those boys who finally made it to watch the State. Now what is left is the banquet tonight. Now is the time to forget our fight. Do be united all together friends in every kind of weather. We want to thank all you who have made the past few years sunny with a little shade. Thanks to the coaches, Mat girls and all. Who have made these past years really a ball. But mostly to the boys our wrestling team whom we love though it may seem We fight and argue, laugh and cry, In spite of all this, our friendship won't die. Thank you all for the memories we share we want you to know we really do care. And all please believe, all who are able, a wrestlers a guy who won't turn the tables. A1 the sweat and the blood, all the dreams and the hope, Now we will look in our long telescope. In college you'll wrestle, in college we'll cheer. We'll see all of you hopefully next year. We didn't realize it but tell us when, did our wrestling boys become wrestling men? We will remember and boy what they meant, the past few years the way they were spent. ifiat was the year that was. , I ATHLETES 1 AWAY Elmhurst, 111.
