Soccer team ends second season Above: Even a minor head injury doesn't hold back this dedicated soccer player from controlling an uncontrollable ball. Below: The pressures that are present when playing soccer can be helped by putting out an all-out effort, like this. The year old soccer team completed its sec- ond successful season in 1981. There were some changes this year, but it didn't seem to stir to much controversy. Mr. Rockwell came on as the new head coach, replacing Fouad Moawad, who is concentrating his time to the advance- ment of the girls' soccer team. Contributing this year to the field was Senior Hussien Chahine. The still aggressive defense kept the pressure on oncoming opponents, and got tagged to the title of being the backbone of the team. Although this is only the second season that has been played, the team will gain more experience during this time by learning from their mistakes. Let's all hope. Above: I'm sorry, coach, but I'm afraid of the ball! 19

Girls finish season with 7-6 record Suzie Buono has a habit of sticking out her tongue when going for a difficult shot. Demands Louise Guse of her teammates Why didn't you guys tell me I had to put down my racket to take my uniform off? I was going to go left, then right, then ... When asked how Coach Pat Baron felt this year's team had done, she was quoted as saying, “I would call it a suc- cessful season, considering the inex- perience of the team. The 1981 Fordson Girls' Tennis Team had a final record of 7 wins, 6 losses. This year's seniors did an outstanding job with Co-Captain Carol Georeff cap- turing the No. 1 Singles Championship in GLEA, and Co-Captain Maria Rubb winning the No. 2 Singles Champion- ship, also in GLEA. Other winners in this area were Senior Faten Saad, with the No. 3 Singles, second place, Seniors Cari Sund and Helen Teeple, with the No. 1 Doubles, third place, and Junior Laela Harp and Senior Barbara Wludyka, with the No. 2 Doubles, place. The outlook for next year is fai rly good, even though they will be losing a good amount of players through graduation. Coach Baron, when asked about next year's team, was very confident in her reply that, although next year's team would require more hard work and concentration, they could be as good, if not better.
