Tennis Swings with tyle A disappointing season did not ruin this year's tennis team's spirit. Varsity coach, Gail Deforest, worked hard keeping the team together and their stride up. The biggest problem was the scarcity of play- ers available on the team. This did not keep the strong players from shining.

Laurie O'Neill played number one singles and will be a leader of the team next year along with Julie Castro and Emily Wong who have improved tremendously.
