Said Mitch Conover of the coupon books, They're a pain to sell, but the profits help the team. On the more creative side, the tennis team had a bake sale in the quad at snack and lunch. Profits were used to pay for new skirts and their banquet. Popular or not, fundraisers were a necessary part of the team. Reflecting on the tennis bake sale, Leanna Stephan laughed, It was a lot of fung everybody pitched in.

4 GROWIN TAN T 1- . .. . f students vaguely recall hearing loud yells around school at 7:00 in the morn- ing, it most likely was the SophfFrosh water polo team beginning its morning wor- kout. The speed that the team developed from the extra morning time spent paid off. They had more time in the afternoon to focus on handling, shooting, or offensive and defen- sive plays. The season was especially different be- cause of coach Scott Morris, recent CV gra- duate and swim and water polo alumni. Even though the only returning players were Jim Butcher, Trevor Mezak, and Jeff Phillips, the team excelled because of the summer program, a time when players new to the sport could develop more skill. Other key players included Nick Conrad, goalie kay, guys, here's the plan - Transcend- ing the title of Coach , Scott Morris tells his team their strategy.

Led by senior Leilani Artis, the team's Most Valuable Player, the Falcons plunged into a new season. Artis, who also earned first team Pacific League honors, was backed up by seniors Jeanne Mixon and Cindy Staniec, both of whom received honorable mention. Play- ing was a lot more fun and less stressful because it was our second year on Varsity, related Cindy Staniec. Rounding out the team were standout seniors Ann Martin and Cheryl Lane and junior Patty Harris. We were better than our record showed. We lost some close games in league that could have gone either way, told the Most Improved Player for the year, junior Gena Moe. The pre-season went well for the Falcons, and they went into league on a high note. But after a tough schedule, they came out with a record of 3-7 in league and 8-10 over- all. by Todd Kummer Volleyball ow do this with your hands. show- ing some pregame spirit, seniors Cheryl Lane, Cindy Staniec, Jeanne Mixon, and Leilani Artis find the rhythm.
