Led through this successful season by Jerry Pfeiffer, John Adler, and Dick Grim the L’s tennis team whizzed through all local teams and captured the Broward County championship for the second consecutive straight year. Due to bad luck they placed third in the Gold Coast tournament only two points behind the winner. At state tournaments in Gainesville the boys placed fourth against twenty-five different schools, which ended a tremendous year. Jim Gardner and John Adler were presented Most Improved Player and Most Valuable Player. The netmaids struggled through a five win and a three loss season under the guidance of Marilyn Floyd and Elaine Bettis. The girls placed third in the Broward County tournament and placed fifth in Gold Coast Conference. Because of last minute replacements the netmaids placed eighth in the state tournament.
