And when the coach himself is new, real problems could arise on the team. However, first year coach, Mr. Jim Westmoreland, kept the team morale high and helped them improve as the team moved into its season. With drills where girls had to do three push-ups every time they mishit the ball, the girls built muscles while improving shots. Under Mr. Westmoreland's leadership, the girls seemed to actually enioy his attempts at making them tennis pros . Using techniques practiced on throughout the season, the tennis team won their final match against Nevada Union. Overall, the girls' tennis team did not fare well in the team standings, with a l-9 record. Individually, top- seeded Lori Arostegui, Lori Binninger, Jennifer Booth, and Karen St. Martin led the team in wins. At season's end, six team members competed in the Sierra Foothill League tennis tournament held in Nevada City, with the doubles team of Lori Arostegui and Jennifer Booth taking third place. Mr. Westmoreland stated that even though the team did not have a winning season, he and the team had lots of fun.

Being the first team to play in the new gymnasium was a different and exciting experience for the girls' volleyball teams. Drops of water did not fall on heads and fingers did not sprain due to freezing temperatures as they had in previous years. And new volleyball equipment contributed to the quality of play by the girls. All of these factors combined to draw 40 girls out for the volleyball teams. Junior varsity team was comprised completely of first year players, while the varsity had nine returnees. lnexperience was the maior reason for the league standings of the JV team, ending with a 5-7 league record. However, against Lindhurst, the JV's pulled together as a team and beat them in both matches. Ms. Darlene Miller stated that the JV team would be 1 contender in next year's competition. Experience of the varsity volleyball team players was apparent during the season, as they came from behind in several close matches to win.

Beginning gymnasts Nancy Peterson, Lani Crowe, and Ruth Schumacher qualified to compete in the Sectional Meet at Kennedy High School in late February, culminating a fine season for the Marysville High School girls' gymnastics team. Competing at Placer High School for the North Sub- Sections, Marysville and 10 other schools participated in the meet with the Novice Team receiving a first place trophy and the Beginners team placing fifth. Gymnast Ruth Schumacher tied for the gold medal in the Beginners Division. Following the completion of league meets, the gymnastics team participated in optional meets. Gymnast Cindy Reese performed well in the optional meets, capturing first places in every meet she participated in. Coach Lynn Marsh stated that the team, consisting of '23 members, was outstanding as a whole, with no-one shining above the rest. One problem faced by the team this year was a change in the league rules concerning the competition of beginners and intermediate gymnasts in the same division. According to Coach Marsh, this allowed the beginners to perform easy routines to perfection, while the intermediates had to compete using more difficult routines. Even though the team faced some changes this year, they remained united and had a successful year. 1 I P A wi . - L 's . l FRONT ROW: M. Pederson, L. Bowles, K. Williams, D. Wilkinson, D Martin, L.
