Varsity Volleyball Did It! Before the season ever began. Coach Doug Tesdal knew that the Varsity girls were going to do well. He felt they would be contenders for league, if not take it, and had aspirations of State. Well, we did it! says Coach Tesoal. We didn't go all the way into the State finals at the Dalles, but we did reach the State playoffs with a very impressive record. The girls that helped the team get as far as they did this year will be greatly missed. These girls have determination and a strong will to get whatever they go after. As these girls leave VHS, there is another group of determined athletes ready to take their places. Next year, as seen through Coach Tesdal's eyes, is very promising as he looks forward to working with the excellent caliber of girls that Vernonia produces. All-League honors were received by two Varsity girls this year: Sheri Hiveley, First Team; and Kathi Wilcoxen, Honorable Mention.

Football team could almost be called the freshmen team. They were young and small with twenty-three freshmen turning out, and only one or two with previous experience. But these young men went from a period of not knowing what to do, to realizing that football is a game of discipline and hard work. Mr. Forgey stated, If success is measured on a won-loss record, then they had a very poor season. If success is measured on how much was learned, then this past season was excellent. Everybody played and learned to hit and to be hit. These young men learned that pain is a part of football, and it must be lived with. By using what was learned, and with dedication and maturity, next year's J.V. Football team could easily reverse the record of this season and uphold the winning tradition of Vernonia High School. 2 2.
