These were just a few of the skills that Eisenhower's team exhibited this year. Mr. Cham- berlain, the coach of the girl's tennis team, was just one ofthe reasons why the team was so successful. He had been coach- ing boys for the past ten years, but this last season, he coached the girls team for the first time. There's not that temper prob- lem in girls as there had been in boys, Mr. Chamberlain was quoted saying. Their record being 9-3, he felt they had stressed the right aspects. They worked hard on the net play and strived to make their doubles much stronger. All the determination and skill paid off. Eisenhower won the Regionals, therefore, qualifying for state. Julie Berba and Stephanie Beherends won the Regional doubles and played four matches before they were eliminated at state. Shelli Jones and Barb Wuellner placed fourth in doubles at the Region- als, and Linda Wuellner plac third in singles. Next year, Mr. Chamberla planned to work on doubles e pecially, making a good recor and improving the young players who would soon be t backbone of this team. Overall, the season was se by most to be excellent.

Talking with the Top Trials and Tribulations of an Athletic Director For the past sixteen years, Mr. David W. Murphy has been working assiduously as the organizer of all athletic events and all athletic teams at Eisen- hower High School. From this great number of duties, Mr. Murphy lists the following: Directing and overseeing all the school physical 'education classes, and scheduling all the football, vollyball, basketball, wrestling, and all other games. This includes asking officials to referee, and having substi- tutes ready in case of illnesses. Bus transportation is another large part of Mr. Murphy'sjob, which can often be a headache during a sudden snowfall or cancellations for other reasons. Mr. Murphy enjoys staging contests especially between op- ponents evenly matched, since that makes a dramatic battle, Often as an underclassman himself, Mr. Murphy valued the lessons in life he learned in the area called sports. Even as a high school student in Robin- son, ll, Mr. Murphy enjoyed and learned about all sports, as he was on the football, basket- ball and track teams in high school himself. While in col- lege, hc concentrated on basket- ball and track at E.l.U. where he also majored in physical eud- cation and minored in Social Studies, Health, and Driver's Education. His master's degree is the Masters Indiana S. U. Science and Education, all of which he has needed in his years of teaching. - Bridget Dwyer and keeps the audience excited and happy, as well as giving the teams a chance to sharpen their skills. Another big part of the athle- tic director's day is spent in ad- vertising and giving correct in- formation to the film and print media, making sure that posters and calendars are placed in the strategic spots all over Decatur, and then getting tickets ready in time for all games. When re- gionals roll around and cause March Madness every year, Coach Murphy's diplomacy comes into view as he uses the wisdom of Solomon to distrib- ute tickets. He always gives preference to the present Eisen- hower students over outsiders, because he feels that School spirit is developed best by stu- dents actually participating in and watching sporting events. il JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL: Front row Floyd Stewart Tony Brown Don Bonds Sean Cook Bobby Bowser row: Rodney Moore, .lim Taylor, Mike Houran Marlan Smith Troy Leonard David McCoy Coach Sly 34 Basketball Jill, f l
