ULLEYBALL Although the 1979 Newton South Volleyball team did not qualify for the state tournament, the team did have a rewarding 8-7 season. Furthermore, many of the defeats were matches that nearly ended as South victories. The climax of the season was a game against a tough Brockton squad. Although Newton South lost, they challenged Brockton with unrelenting com- petition throughout the match and proved their esti- mable ability. There are six seniors who will be greatly missed next year. Co-captain Michele DeFazio led the team with her consistency in accurate bumping. Spikers Ioanne Golding, Anne Morehouse and Lauren Kauf- man helped the team with their forceful serving and spiking. Setters Tami Kan and co-captain Sara Frim had a great season, setting up their spikers and enabl- ing them to score points. This year's seniors all added something special to the team. Their friendliness and leadership helped to maintain an exciting season. The 1979 Volleyball Team learned the importance of teamwork and consistency. Next year's team should be even more successful because the en- thusiasm for volleyball at Newton South is increasing.

Many teams with poor season records claim to be more talented than they are shown to be on paper. However, few teams deserve as much credit as this year's Newton South Cross-Country Team. With a 1-5 season, South's record hardly reflects a solid performance. However, there certainly was no lack of ambition as South won its first meet in two years, a definite improvement. Furthermore, Bob Mosca and Ieff Nottonson consistently placed in all their meets. Seniors Bob Partridge, Bob Fast, Matt Kelley, and sophomore Mark Koning all placed in at least one meet during the season. Ieff recorded the teams best time of the season with a 13:39 mark at Mount Ida, South's home course. The personal achievements of Newton South's run- ners are numerous. Ieff Nottonson and Bob Mosca placed fourth and twelfth, respectively, in the Dual County League meet. This meet takes place at the end of the year and involves all the Leagues runners. Because of their respectable performances, Ieff and Bob were first team all-stars. Bob Partridge's fine running in the meet placed him on the second team. South presented the Most Improved Player Award to Bob Fast. He im- proved his time in every meet at Mount Ida with an overall improvement of 32 seconds. Iennifer Sharp showed her eagerness as she was the only girl on the team. It is hoped that next years overall participation will be greater. 21
