CUROVINGY Volleyball This volleyball season was a good one for participation. A total of 11 girls went out for the team. They were: Janice Reeher, Betsy Davis, Tana Hill, Debbi Wood, Marcy Layman, Connie Rinkes, Tami Jackson, Wendy Robinson, Julie Rinkes, Donna Reeher, Tina Robinson, and Margie Potts. Before the regular season started, the team participated in a jambore at Clackamas Community College. Eight teams participated at the jamboree, six teams playing at a time and rotating courts every 15 minutes. The volleyball season held only one major injury for the team this year, during the third game. Tana Hill attempted to spike the ball, lost her balance and fell. Torn ligaments put her out for the rest of the season. As is tradition, the girls voted at the end of the season for the volleyball awards. This year there was a tie for the Most Valuable Player, the award being shared by Marcy Layman and Debbie Wood. The team voted Tana Hill Most Inspirational for her support of the team after her injury and Tina Robinson was voted Most Improved Player.

How many peanuts can you pile on Mr. Wilkin as he sleeps? Answers to all of these questions and many more were answered due to contributions the girls gave in the activities and contests. At the end of the season, the PTO, represented by Pat Foster and Bev Jackson, gave the boys an end-of-the- season party, complete with cake and lemonade. This party, of which there was also one for the girls team, sparked a desire for a post-season all-basketball- team party. The result was a weekend in Kah-nee-tah, with the Basketball teams, raily squad, advisors, and coaches.
