RALLY TRAINERS Taping wrist, knees, helping athletes prepare for games and helping them if injured was the purpose of a new program started at I. V. this year by Linda Hoback. A few select people who volunteered their time made up this athlete trainers group and devoted a lot of extra time and effort in learning how to properly tape and care for injured players. The trainers were: senior, Diane Milner; junior, Tina Turiace; and eighth grader from L.B.M.S., Brian Proett, who volunteered his services and even came after school to work with the other trainers.

Lana Bersaglieri. A late beginning for our Rally Squad, varied uniforms, and a couple of novice advisors didn't deter the spirit of Shanna Rhoten, Lynda Cilliam, Lana Bersaglieri, Kim Nelson, Jill Stocking, and Laura Batie. The Rally members attended a leadership workshop, sponsored a dance, practiced, practiced, practiced, (all but one were sophomores), and are fast becoming a quality team. They are looking forward to next year and are planning more pep assemblies, rally workshops, fund raisers, and of course, an abundance of spirit. Rally Trainers 25

Determination to be the best they could be was the attitude of the Illinois Valley J. V. Volleyball team which consisted of a group of talented athletes. A combination of skill, determination and a good attitude made the 1983 J. V. Volleyball season a successful one with a 9- 3 record. Jean McCormick, in her 4th year coaching Volleyball and her first year as the J. V. coach, felt the success of their season was influenced greatly by the good attitudes that the girls had about both themselves and their team as a whole. This years most valuable player award went to Hattie Boswell. Anita Hoskins received the most inspirational player award and the most improved players were Michelle Sloan and Larissa Stewart. Special recognition went to Karen Mowles for having 10O% serving for 6 consecutive games. Coach Jean McCormick said that she appreciated and would like to thank all the girls for their hard work, dedication to the Team , and for all the fun they had during the season. Loner Sheila Campbell displays poise and style. When Freshman Volleyball Began, only 3 Freshman Girls were interested enough to go out for the sport. However, as time progressed there surfaced a sufficient number of girls to produce a Freshmen team. The Freshman Volleyball Team, with only one win, may not have been the best team, but they worked hard and did their best. Their Enthusiasm for the sport and total effort during practices and games, made the season an extraordinary success. Throughout the last five games the girls improved tremendously. Basic skills, teamwork, and a competitive attitude were developed and strengthened throughout the season. Finally, Coach Amis said There wasn't a single person on the team who didn't improve remarkable during the season. Acrobat Angie Hackstock bumps the ball over the net. Volleyball 24 I
