Netter's improve, future bright Campus High's girls tennis team seems to be following the evolution of the currently popular game itself, even if it is a few years late. For the die hard tennis fan, it hasn't been too many years since the days of little recognition, stares, and remarks hurled at those who play that sissy sport. For those girls that go to Campus, there is the added obstacles of artic- cold winds that blow lobs beyond the baseline, and make players cov- er up with gloves and hooded warm- ups. As with the big-time sport of in- door racquet clubs, the CHS girls seem to be climbing out of the ranks to net respectibility.

As pro tennis began accumulating television time and hoards of dedi- cated followers, Campus High broke through by taking the Wichita Colle- giate Triangular. Seniors Jill Beck and Pam Cop- page teamed with juniors Mindy Pro- vince, Ellen Everly, Elaine Tiezsen, and Stacie Jones to win the talent- filled Collegiate event. The junior varsity also picked up a triumph to cap off its season.

Leadership and depth were the important factors in the thinclads success. The team, led by seniors Tim Mahoney, Chris Stew- art, Tom Berry, and Jim Delzer, amassed a long list of accomplish- ments. Among these accomplish- ments included a perfect score of fifteen at the Winfield meet. The team won the league title hands down, along with four first place finishes in a row.

Volleyballer's reverse past record With the same wonderous feeling that comes from spiking a perfect set-up, the Campus volleyball team turned their program around after a winless 1975 season to put together wins over tough opponents. Led by Coach Mary Ann Decatur and freshman coach Fred Dunn, the team faced various learning exper- iences in meeting different oppo- nents during the fall season. Leading the team was A-varsity captain Dana Meyer, three-year letter-woman Sandy Smith, B-varsity captain Mona Frazier along with Diane Se- lenke, Laura Waldschmidt, Aly Arm- stead, and Donna Marcellus. Teri Steele anticipates a spike in a match against Kapaun-Mt. Carmel The team's practices began a week before classes opened in Au- gust and consisted of conditioning exercises and drills which sharpened the skills of the players. Also, Deca- tur utilized scrimmages with power- ful teams such as Kapaun Mt. Car- mel to further improve the team. The Colts regular season began with the South High Invitational in which they placed last. Despite the loss, Campus displayed dedication and hard work which led to the best win of the season: a 15-13, 15-5 vic- tory over Derby. Junior Aly Arm- stead starred in the contest, serving fifteen straight points to secure the win after a shaky start in the opening game. lronically, Derby beat Cam- pus in 1975 in the same fashion, serving ifteen consecutive points, but the Colts proved their superior- ity over their fiercest of rivals. We were really up for the Derby game, we wanted to win badly after losing last year, said senior Mona Frazier. In addition, the B-varsity team also beat Derby in a close 10-15, 15-11, 15-10 match to highlight their sea- son. Dana Meyer said, l got a lot of enjoyment out of this year's season. We felt we had a chance to win every time we stepped out on the court. 'i i'i- 41, ., ,fe fy. ,iff 'i.,,f I ,. . . ,., H4 fi 4.1 . . .FLM .9
