WOMEN'S TENNIS: TAKE IT T0 THE COURT Competition has become great in the area of Women's Sports, and Tennis is no exception. The team members Worked long and hard practices and performed with determination during matches. These per- formances were usually overlooked and seemed unimpor- tant but the real success of a team could frequently go un- noticed. Though they did not compile a spectacular season record, a year of experience can improve a team remarka- bly. The fine Chimera squad led by Seniors Lucy Booth, Natalie Greene and Marilyn Wesley, provided the neces- sary experience needed to improve significently in their short season. A talented group of Juniors will provide Coach Carl Reitenger with a solid foundation for next year. if llil A T WOMEN' 'STENNIS ' T ef fiilrf C yfs' SEASON RECORD 5-10 ,V C f Opponent 1 Q ' , ,atPe1insauken T T I 4 T O.

CROSS COUNTRY: SETTING THE PACE Self-discipline is one of the most important charac- teristics of a Cross Country runner. To run for miles at a time for practice and then to go out on a course and do it all again for a meet is both mentally and physically demand- ing. The team, coached by Mike Matthews, was a unique group of athletes with some valuable experience. Senior Bob Mann compiled personal titles just as fast as the team completed their winning season. After winning individual competition in the Liberty Division, he con- tinued to place third in Burlington County and fourth in the South jersey Meet. Other top Seniors are Mike Mullen, Ron Russell and Bob Eck. Combined with consistent performing Iuniors Rodney Gooch and Robert Cunningham, the team provided Coach Matthews with a wide range of winning talent. Q 3 , ge if-. ' .

CAN'T EVEN BE KEPT BEHIND BARS: MEN'S GYMNASTICS Gymnastics is a sport which requires a great deal of ef- fort. The athletes who participate on such teams work hard, long hours practicing routines, building strength and de- veloping their skills in their individual events. This was another year that the Chimera squad was the finest. Compiling an undefeated record is not such an easy thing to do when you meet up with such tough competition throughout the season. The Team did, however, win all its matches, and earned the right to compete in statewide competition where they showed a fine championship ef- fort. , f ,Sy Performing an L-seat is a Chimera team member during a victorious meet against Kennedy. 4 .I , '. mai?
