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!

Coach Brings Success A lot of our success is due to him. This statement by Angie Lasater reflected the feelings of the girls ' tennis team about its new coach, Gene Hughes. This was Hughes ' first year as the girls ' tennis coach, although he has coached the boys ' team for years. Many of the team members felt that Coach Hughes was a major contributor to their winning season. Coach Hughes gave us a lot of enthusiasm and spirit, stated Allyson Miller. He never put pressure on us. Hughes also added a lot of support and encouragement to the players. As Kelly Loveridge put it, We all liked him so much. He was like a father to us. As for talent, the team has more than enough. Singles players Allyson Miller and Angie Lasater secured second and fourth places in the Ivy League. Each team member was part of a closely knit group. Not only were the players teammates, they were also friends. As Angie Lasater and Allyson Miller concluded, We were really close and we worked as a team, not as individuals. Behind their new coach, and with an emphasis on teamwork, the team concluded the season in second place, and went to CIF. GIRLS ' TENNIS TRAM, FRONT ROW: Ruben.
