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.

--- 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.

OCCCI' Soccer team showed improvement in its third year. In recent years, there has been an increase of interest in soccer throughout the nation, and Gainesville was no exception. Tournaments, where first through fourth place trophies were awarded, were sponsored by local teams such as Buchholz and P.K. Yonge. EHS won a third place trophy at the first Blue Wave-Buchholz soccer tournament held at P.K. Yonge on Janu- ary 16, 1982. For the first time, Eastside hosted soccer games on campus. Other games were played either at Citizens Field or away. The soccer team was in its third year of growth, and very young. The team had a new head coach, Dan McPhail. When asked about the team's success, Coach McPhail said, To have a successful and competitive soccer program there must be a great increase in student involvement. The student athlete needs to realize that soccer offers the perfect link between football and track. Showing much dedication, the team's seventeen members practiced each day for three hours. New uniforms were pur- chased in green and white. As only five members were seniors, the team showed great promise for the future. l. Gabriel Luchetta strives for a goal. 2.
