SOCCER CLUB Spring, nineteen sixty-nine, witnessed the first practices of Explorer soccer enthusiasts. The required dexterity and demanding stamina of fastpaced " European football " drew many students into the realm of LaSalle soccer. Behind the impetus of senior Ed Schmidt, this fledgling group became the Soccer Club in the autumn months of this year. Anticipating formal recognition by the Athletic Department as a LaSalle High sport, the Soccer Club continues its practices with one goal in mind: To be in the running for the Catholic League Championship in future years.
Walt Larios struggles under 70 lbs as he tries to reach his limit in the Bench Press, one of the more strenuous exercises.
WEIGHT-LIFTING CLUB Organized last year by Mr. Colistra and a group of interested students, the Weight-lifting or Health Club has provided many undeveloped physical " wrecks" the chance to get back into shape by following a closely guided program of exercises, isometrics, and weight-lifting. This club has also enabled many out-of-season athletes to keep their bodies in condition throughout the year.
