Diamond Bar is very tennis oriented, there ' s courts everywhere, commented Ju- nior Noel Nepomeceno. That was good for the team because the key was to play as much as possible. The stress was on improvement, we have a small team in average height, but we have a strong team, commented Junior Paul Montero. This string team with an equal number of sophomores and juniors entered the season on a rush schedule. With all the good players we should do well, but we ' ll have to see. We don ' t know what our league is really like, said Ju- nior Noel Nepomeceno. But at a preleague game they made a good start of the season by beating Shure hands down, with their coach Bill Cline. The J.V. also won that day with their coach Jerry Davis. Q ► WITH A FOLLOW THROUGH, Andy Wasley com- pletes his smash. Andy was one of the stronger doubles players. ► Varsity Boys ' Tennis.

We are learning a lot. Jim Pavlos ticipated in the Pizza Raffle Drawing. The raffle money that each team member earned went to his practice and game equipment expense. Prizes like car main- tainence, hair cuts, and many other prizes were given out to the winners.
