Varsity Works Together Teamwork! This could be the one word to describe the varsity volleyball team. It showed great enthusiasm throughout its season. The team kept its spirit up and en- joyed each game. Frances Lara, team captain, remarked, Player Patty Anacleto really made everyone feel good even when we made mistakes. Anacleto could be seen on the sidelines yelling and screaming to keep the team confident. A new coach, Margie Himmelberg joined the varsity and jv teams. She was accepted quickly by both groups. She commented, The var- sity team had very hard working players. They worked well together and there were no at- titude problems. Overall they were a really great group. The varsity girls showed much pride in their efforts. Lara helped with her leadership qualities and consistency. Kris Clark and Dene Dumas led the team with their outstanding abilities. Pam DeLaGarza concluded, Out on the court we really worked as a team not just for individual recognition. Ready and waiting, Donna Valencik watche9 as varsi- |( , ty Captain Frances Lara back sets the ball for her teammate. Iiii 56 sports

Determined in her efforts, Sepideh Parsa strives to return the opposing team ' s serve. North won the game 15-7 against Poly. JVs Sharpen Skills Developing individual skills was the goal for the JV volleyball team. Skills and fundamentals were first mastered, then the big step toward varsity could later be taken. Toward the end of the season things began to pull together for the team, commented Coach Himmelberg. The players had begun to pull together while com- peting against the opposing teams. The JV team was to learn about the sport, its fundamentals and its skills. Bringing the team together were various players. Alma Alonso and Connie Frith led the team with all around leadership qualities. Alon- so kept everyone united with her enthusiasm. A freshman standout was Sepideh Parsa. The team was pulled together by solid fundamentals and strong personalities. This did not stop the members from enjoying themselves, as Susie Isbell con- cluded, I just had a really great time playing on the team!
