Golfers, runners The golfers, after having school funds cut off last year, raised enough money during the summer to again have a team. Projects from a car wash to a garage sale provided enough money for a bigger and better team. Coached by Mr. Jim Williamson, the four varsity players, seniors Tom Nichol and Roger Belleau, and juniors. Steve Thomson and Dave Bush, showed overall improvement, placing in several big tournaments and again found themselves first out of the few Welco teams. A new twist to an old sport, five cross-country members endured their first season. Coached by Mr. Bob Volzer. three juniors. Steve Durnal, Keith Kofford. and Dave Holland, and two sophomores.

Popularity grows in girls sports After three years, girls’ sports are slowly but surely becoming an accepted part of EPHS. Although competition is stiff and the girls are not top contenders, support for both the volleyball and gymnastics team was high. After another year of total defeat, the volleyball team was still full of spirit for their last game against Nederland. Between “footie” socks and a new coach, the girls finally managed to put this last game in the “win” slot. This, the first win that the girls had had in three seasons, left everyone with quite a feeling of pride. This was the season for new coaches in girls’ athletics. Coach Joan Siudzinski held the volleyball team together as a first-year coach and teacher at EPHS. Meanwhile. Coach Pat Boyle had his hands full coaching the gymnastics team. Due to a lack of funds, the gymnastics team was operated on a private donation basis. Despite this complication, the girls made a good showing with Sharon Dermody once again qualifying for the state meet. Although the season’s win-loss tally may not look impressive, it was a definite improvement over past records for both teams. FRONT ROW: Shamane Herman and Michelle Snyder.
