       From the April 1983 
		Penn Post 
		Ping Pong Honors 
		     Like to play ping pong? Think 
		you�re any good? Then perhaps you were a participant in the ping pong 
		tournament recently sponsored by the National Honor Society. A 
		registration fee of 50 cents was charged to cover the cost of trophies. 
		Games were played during activity periods. Contestants played 15 point 
		games, best out of three, in the elimination games to determine 
		individual grade winners. The following people won top honors for their 
		grades: 
		
			
				| 
				 7th grade: 
				8th grade: 
				9th grade: 
				10th grade: 
				11th grade: 
				12th grade:  | 
				Derek Hutcheson 
				John Henry 
				Co Lieu 
				Gregg Tucci 
				Darren Modricker 
				Greg Volutza | 
			 
		 
		 
		     The next round 
		of competition pitted Derek Hutcheson against John Henry, Co Lieu 
		against Gregg Tucci, and Darren Modricker against Greg Volutza. Games 
		were played to 21 points, and winners were chosen in the best of three 
		games. 
     John Henry defeated Derek Hutcheson 21-12 and 21-15. 
		Co Lieu defeated Gregg Tucci 21-18 and 21-19. Finally, Greg Volutza 
		defeated Darren Modricker 21-9 and 21-9. 
     In the final round of competition to determine 1st, 
		2nd, and 3rd place in the school, Greg Volutza won the �bye�; 
		consequently, Co Lieu and John Henry squared off for the first 
		match. Co Lieu defeated John Henry 21-13 and 21-16 to put Henry 
		in 3rd place. To end the tournament, Co Lieu then played Greg 
		Volutza to determine 1st and 2nd places; Greg defeated Co 21-10, 18-21, 
		and 21-10 in the full three games to become the 1983 ping pong champion.
