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.

Sophomores and freshmen placed second and third, and seniors came in last. Nominees for king were Eric Carvcll, Brad Smith, and Mark Mangelsen. Queen candidates included Cherri Moore.
