Flying Eagles, Butterflies, Birdies The Gymnastics Team, coached by Mrs. Marbut, performed as an exhibition team. They gave half- time shows at basketball games and had one large performance of their own. They also competed in the state gymnastics meet where Carrie Coley placed third in the floor exer- cise, third in the vault, sixth in the beam, and fifth all-around, and Janet Webb and Kristin Manthey made high scores in their division in the floor exercise. Several other students competed for the Y.M.C.A. swim team, swim- ming against teams as near as Gadsden and as far away as Ten- nessee. Unlike other school ath- letes, these swimmers sacrificed several weekends to compete. The team was trained and coached by Deida Allen. The 1978 Golf Team also had a winning season with six wins and four losses. They placed third in the Area Tournament, but failed to qualify for the State Tournament. Since the team did not lose any members, they expected to have an especially strong 1979 season.

Swingers The 1978 Girls' Tennis Team, coached by Mrs. Darrell Morrison, swung its way to its best season ever. The team, by the end of the season, racked up one loss to 4-A Champions Mountain Brook and nine wins. The girls also smashed their way to big wins in tournament play by placing second in the Huntsville Tournament Closing once again to Mountain Brookj, first in the sectional tourna- ment, and second in state competition. The Boys' Tennis Team also smashed its way to a second-place finish in the state tournament. Before this great finish, the team compiled a record of seven wins and three losses against some of the largest schools in the state, and, despite a bad start in the Huntsville Tournament, got into top form to defeat Sylacauga to capture the first place trophy in the sectionals. l l i 2 FROM TOP: Kenneth Davis is ready, come what mayg Hammond Reynolds keeps on his toesg Ray Wheeler leaves the court after fin- ishing off another opponentg Miller Sproull never takes his eye off the ballg The Boys' Tennis Team fMiller Sproull, Flay Wheeler, and Sam Johnsonj.
