High School. Morale
Wins
Something different happened
with the girl's tennis team this
year. Instead of battling with in-
tense team competition, this
years girls' tennis team, headed
by Carol Myerscough and Kim
Barnett, became a closely-knit
group. Being friendly helped
the teams' morale tremendous-
ly. Bus rides were now some-
thing to look forward to; telling
jokes passed the time enjoy-
ably. Practice for two hours
everyday after school was actu-
ally fun this year; switching
rackets with other team mem-
bers behind coach Steve Loves'
back seemed hilarious, until he
found out.
The team greatly supported its
number one singles player,

league prelims at East Los An-
geles college becoming the
number two singles player in
the entire Foothill League and
earning a trip to the C.I.F. indi-
vidual tournament in Arcadia
on December 3. She earned
her recognition, though, on
December 6 at Cal Islands, leav-
ing with the most valuable and
most dedicated awards. The
most improved award went to
Lori James; most inspirational
was awarded to Kim Barnett;
and the coach's award was giv-
en to Maria Westly. Further-
more, six team members con-
tributed over one hundred
dollars each, helping raise over
one thousand dollars for the
club funds, double of that
raised last year.
Hard work and dedication

scribed the 1983-84 season. Six
senior players graduated, forc-
ing the remaining junior, soph-
omores, and freshmen to prac-
tice even harder for 1985.
