Fifteen, thirty! shouts Trudy Hummel as she skillfully serves berg in a practice tennis match. During the seventh period class, the ball to her waiting opponents Patti Foster and Barbara Rosen- girls exercise the skills taught to them. Girls Earn Letters Gnly in Tennis Participation Varsity tennis is the only sport in which a Cata- lina girl can earn a varsity letter. In order to be eligible for membership on the team, a girl must have desire to play, a competitive spirit and be skillful. During a seventh period class, the girls were coached on the technicalities of tennis, shown dif- ferent types of strategy, and engaged in practice matches. They received grades based on attitude and ability. A ladder was used as the basis of intra-team com- petition. Each girl was able to challenge one or two positions above her, but once she lost she accepted a challenge from below. If she lost this match, she dropped one position on the ladder. This yearis varsity tennis team began its season with matches at Amphi High School on February 5, and ended with matches at Miami, Arizona, on April 20. The State Meet followed at the University of Arizona on April 26th and 27th. Under the leadership of Miss Ioyce Sprinkle, the team had the help of six experienced players this year.
