GIRLS' TENNIS TEAM NETS CONFERENCE TITLE Despite a variety of trying circumstances, the girls' tennis team excelled in its 1979 season. The team was plagued by injury and illness, which meant con- stant shifts in the line-up were inevitable. Despite the instability, the team held together to win the Iron Hills Conference championship and advanced to the state sectional finals. Coach Dan Weidner attributes the team's success in the face of adversity to the girls' fierce competitive spirit. He cites evidence from many matches in which a girl would lose the first set and rally to win the next two and clinch a team victory. This determination, according to Dr. Weidner was the key to many victo- ries, including crucial wins over perennial tennis pow- er houses, Columbia and West Essex. The girls also received post season recognition: the team had an overall record of 19 and 5 and was ranked eleventh in the state and second in Essex County. In addition, the first doubles team of Chris Stoll and Caren Holtzman -n First singles star Felice Zinn will continue her winning ways next year. were named to the third team All State CGroup IVJ The second doubles team was also an important factor in the team's excellent record. Seniors Mary Ellen Joyce and Nancy Goret were paired together for most of the season but due to injuries Marge Landau and Ellen Krupat also saw action. The singles positions were held down by junior Felice Zinn and seniors Wendi Blau and Anne Stewart respectively. Felice showed a lot of potential and will be counted on heavily next year. Blau and Stewart were four year veterans whose experience played an important role in the team's success. Junior Amy Levine and fresh- man Krista Gugliemi also saw varsity action and will be depended upon for a strong showing in the 1980 season. As a result of fine coaching and determination, Dr. Weidner's girl's tennis team triumphed. The girls pulled together to defeat some of the top teams in the state and captured the lron Hills Conference title. Caren Holtzman played well at the first doubles position.

FIELD HOCKEY ON THE UPSWING The field hockey team performed well after a slow start in 1979. The girls finished the season with an overall record of 5-6- 6 including some impressive play in the Essex County tourna- ment. Coach Pam Clause claims the team got off to a disap- pointing start. At the opening of the season, the girls played without seven starters. Coach Clause said the team was plagued by the inconsistency and scoring difficulties. Also, the demand- ing schedule called for the girls to compete against some of the top teams in the state. Despite this, the coach said the team showed tremendous improvement by the end of the season and is right on the brink of being really good. The team was led by senior tri-captains Jill Smith, Leah Finkel, and Tracy Cole. Jill and Leah were forwards, and Leah, along with sophomore Debbie Siegel, was named to the second team All Essex. Other offensive players included seniors Melina Mari- tato, Nancy Cushman, and Dana Maranz. Juniors Shari Berke, Beth Cacossa, Joyce Zelkowitz and Fran Miller also saw action. Tracey Cole finished her third varsity season as goaltender for the team with 107 saves. With her on defense were seniors Kim McDermott and Cheri Weinstein at fullback, and Karen Turi at Sweeper. Underclassmen on defense were Abby Schwartz and Lisa Fellman. The girls worked well as a team and utilized a variety of unique psyche-up methods. Coach Clause enjoyed coaching them and looks forward to more success in the future, Forward Leah Finkel outmaneuvers her opponent. Coach Pam Clause discusses strategy with her team.
