l i LIFE AROU D THE GREE The Pine Forest golfers finished fourth in 1987, but with four key play- ers returning, they should have high hopes for the '88 season. Coach Chuck Mohn feels that the strongest point of his team was its abili- ty to keep the ball in play. I feel that if we stay out of trouble next year as much as this year, and combine that with our talent, we should be okay. Mark Walker is the only one in the top five who graduated. He played ex- cellent in both rounds of the county tournament and earned all-conference honors, said Coach Mohn. Though golf is not widely popular as a high school sport, it plays as impor- tant role in Pine Forest's quest for the coveted Maxwell Cup. States MVP Brian Walker: This season wasn't as good as we anticipated it would be, but with a little hard work combined with the talent we have com- ing back, we could make next season a better one.

bi Physical fitness is important to us all, and for some, physical competition is equally necessary. High school athletics give these competitors the chance they need to strive for, and sometimes achieve, great success. Not all of our athletes wish to pursue their favorite sport as a career. Inter- mural sports are open to any who wish to try out, from the future basketball! football f baseball star to the person who just likes to play the game, whatever it may be. Physical activity such as those of- fered at Pine Forest, helps the student athlete in a variety of ways. By exercis- Morin on up to the Hnish line . . .

Thereis nothing quite like hit- ting a softball or baseball, or spiking a volleyball, or tackling a quarter- back for getting rid of the frustra- tions of school. Even watching these events and cheering for our Trojan team is healthy for spectators. For the fourth year, Pine Forest has kept possession of the Wachovia Cup, and the Maxwell Cup has made itself almost a permanent future. With hard practice and strong spec- tator support, there's no stopping the Trojan athletes.

Chris Roy not only swims but swims competitively. ln February. he placed third in the hundred yard breast stroke at the state meet. Third place was obviously not enough. This past summer Chris placed second in the hundred yard breast stroke and broke the state record in the two hundred yard breast stroke. This year Chris is joined on the team by Deanna Berry. After taking the summer off, she resumed competing in September. Both swimmers have high hopes in future competition. Practice .Hakes Perfect , . .
