( r Golf is a popular sport, and most members of this year's golf team have played golf for two or more years. This year’s team has also survived the additional challenge of having a female participating on an equal basis. Our team is unique in this respect since it had the only female to actively participate in the Southeastern Ohio League. Golf in Logan High School is a wonderful thing. It enables the players to work out all of their built- up frustrations when they get to “beat the heck out of that poor lit- A Quiet Sport tie white ball. In this problem-filled world there is probably no greater place to refresh one's mind and renew one's thoughts than in the quietness and serenity of the Hocking Hills Golf Course. The walking and pleasure of being in a country-like atmos- phere adds to one's physical endur- ance and allows a golfer to develop a sense of security within himself that will last through more trying times. The competitiveness of one-on- one competition with no one to assume the responsibility for an individual builds strength and char acter. Participants learn to com- pete in a sportsman like manner that requires personal integrity which will allow them to survive challenges to be met in the years to come. Those who have chosen to pursue the game of golf have ensured themselves a hobby that can be pursued right through the twilight years of life. FRONT ROW: John Britton, Dave Vaughn.

Since it started here in 1975, there has never been more attention put on the game. The team has grown from last year’s seven to this year's twelve. The girls feel there isn't enough emphasis being put on their team. If the team is to increase in popularity, we must get more stu- dent participation. “We need peo- ple's support as spectators just as we need more people for the team.” One of the major reasons there aren’t many tennis matches is because not enough schools offer girls' teams to compete with us. According to our athletic director, Mr. Stilwell, if at least three more schools obtain girls’ tennis, our team will be considered in the All- Sports T rophy! Coach Bridgewater is pleased with the team's progress. She said the team has improved, but they still need work on their concentra- tion and conditioning. Coach Bridgewater said she has really enjoyed working with the girls and hopes they will improve their record even more next year. The girls are satisfied with this year's record because it is better than last year's, and that was their goal! The team feels they must work on their strategy and confi- dence. The girls definitely do not want the boys' and girls' teams together! The girls feel the two teams aren't equal. According to the team one needs a lot of patience and concentration to be a good player. They say they practice on the average of fifteen hours a week. ‘‘Practice only interferes with our soap operas!” says the team, laughing. In playing tennis most of the expense comes in on equipment. As far as the players are concerned, Spalding, Head and Wilson make the best equipment. These talented young ladies intend to make tennis a life-long hobby rather than a profession. Any girl who wishes to be on the team must be at least a freshman. FRONT ROW: Julie Bell, Denise Cullison, Jamie Heinlein, Nancy Fox, Beth St. Clair. ROW TWO: Jamie Mara.
