--- Tennis With new and old talent, the tennis team hoped to do well. With only 5 returning players on both the Girls' and Mens' Tennis team, the out look for the new season was not a promising one. The Ram tennis team practiced 3 days a week from 3:00 to 5:00 at Northeast Park and Meadow Brooks with the assistance of Coach Alan Pierce and Jeff Pyne. The main goal for the team was to help the new players gain confidence and experience in playing tennis. Paige Trippensee, a Lady Ram tennis player, said, Everyone on the team has the desire to win, but with such a young team, I don't think we'll do as good as we want? l.

Cross Country -- Experience was gained by Cross Country members. Cross country running was one of the most grueling, demand- ing events offered through Eastside's athletic program. These athletes were extremely self-disciplined and hard-working. Coach Barbara Gustin put in many long hours of practice time, as did the team members. The team had a good season, working their hardest at a sport they enjoyed. Members competed with other area high school teams in many varied events such as the three-mile run and the one-mile run. Competition was sometimes tough, sometimes easy, but the Rams always came out the good sportsmen they are. Individual achievements were attained, and although the team may have lost as a whole, members came back having accomplished something on their own, a personal achievement. l.

They prac- ticed five days a week from 3:30 to 4:30 in the heated pool in order to polish up on their swimming skills after a long vacation, and to help further their skills for this year's season. With the help of Coach Ron Davis and the team managers Maria Llorens and Beth Taylor, the Ram swimmers hoped to have a very successful record. One of the Lady Ram swimmers Sarah Horn said, We have many new swimmers this year that are inexperienced, but with a lot of hard work and much dedication from everyone, we should have a really good season. 3 l.
