Tennis Team FRONT ROW: Robertson I. Wood I, Paterson I, Henkel, Roberts. CENTRE ROW: Hogaboam, Stuart II. Green II. Wegb I, Ritson, Connor. BACK ROW: Mr. Larsen, Keil. Bramall. Mr. Abbott. Contrary to last year, the weather this season was very good, in fact, almost too good. The team was again very young and we certainly felt the loss of Gary Machan. We maintained our standing by just hanging into the A league with the four other major schools. Again, I have to say that Appleby must bide its time until the grade nine ' s and ten ' s that comprised 90% of the team gain two or three years more ex- perience. Some of the fellows have a lot of potential but right now they are playing over their hea ds much of the time. The second doubles was played by Miles Hogaboam and Duncan Roberts and although they did not see a lot of action they played well when they did. The first doubles was made up of the same fellows as last year, Struan Robertson and Chris Wood. It took a little while for them to get back in the groove but then they practiced seriously and played very well on several occasions. John Ritson played second singles for us this year and despite his sometimes unusual court appearances (sweat pants at 85% and black socks with whites) he played good con- sistent tennis ana he certainly has many good years to look for- ward to. The Captain and first singles of the team was Alex Paterson and although he won few sets this season, gained much experience from playing against the finest tennis players in the league. As captain, I would like to thank Mr. Abbott and Mrs. J. Gairdner for all their efforts, and hope that they persist in their efforts next year. 116
