“We really began to work more as a team in the second half of the season,” said Sophomore tennis player Barb Roades. ‘The majority of the team was new in ‘81 but before too long, the team members became acquainted and the team pulled together. Every- time we went someplace we said, “We're going to win!” Even when we played (Hazelwood) Central, we went with a positive attitude.’’ -Sophomore Barb Roades. z Girls Tennis Riverview McCluer Pattonville Aquinas Ritenour Haz.

The schedule lasted through the fall and she had twenty showing up af the courts fo earn a spot on the team. From the very start of the workouts, Ms. Helbig made hard worl and conditioning the two concentrated mainstays of her squad. Upon the season's conclusion, she was able fo lools back af the finished sched- ule and find that hard worls and condition- ing made up her feam's reasons for success. The team enjoyed success with an over- all 12-3 record, being bumped only by Ha- zelwood Central, Hazelwood East and Sr. Mary Institure. Often times, Coach Helbig was unable fo warch her feam perform completely healthy. Still, after roughing our bad knees and ankles, Central's Hawlss and Easr’s Spar- tans, the Stars were stoically able to end their season the same way it began: with a 6-1 victory over Riverview. ''Coaches don’t always gef feams to rightfully represent their school,’” concluded Helbig. ‘Some reams we faced made coaches ashamed with their poor sportsmanship on the court, but I’m glad my team wasn’t that way. | was super proud of these girls.’’ Poised for her serve, Jane Drysdale awaires the re- turn of her ross. With total concentration, Ruth Ellerbrocls warches the flight of her return. Girls Tennis 213
