Double trouble Sophomore Rock Reynolds and senior Mark Bentley play doubles during a tennis match Grand slam - Senior Kurt Pitzer, top player for the tennis team, demonstrates the perfect serve. Players climb the ladder Climbing to the top of the ladder was the goal of each tennis player because the top represented the best. Each player's rank was determined by elimination matches. It's the most fair way because it gives the people at the bottom a chance, coach Terry Garner said. Members of the teams started preparing themselves for matches before the season began by running, jumping rope, working on line drills, and playing elimination matches. During the season, Northeast played all the schools in the Little Rock area, along with Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, and Conway. Team members also played in the state meet held at Fort Smith on May 13.

Swing it! - Senior Steve McElhanon shows great quality and skill in his back swing. 76-Tough Stuff A11 lined up - Senior Al Willard lines up a putt on the Burns Park golf course Golf team Works hard Golf, a game of strategy, coordina- tion, and self control, was the business of eight Northeast team members. The team members were selected from among 25 golfers. Tryouts for the team involved 90 holes of golf, and the eight boys with the lowest scores made the team. Senior members where Chipper Banks, Steve McElhanon, and All Willard. Iuniors were Doug Ford, Paul Makowsky, and Brian McLaughlin. Mark Lukder and Ioe Ralston were also on the team. Golf Coach Iohn Narkinsky said that only four members participated in each of the 13 matches. All eight played an 18 hole qualify! ing round before each match, and the four with the lowest scores were allowed to compete, he said. Early in the season, Coach Narkins- ki described the Northeast team as young Blowin in the wind- Even on windy days the golf team practiced. Back row-Chipper Banks, Brian McLaughlin, Ioe Ralston, Paul Makowsky, Doug Ford. Front row-Al Willard, Marc Luker, and Steve McElhanon. Wadin in the water - Sophomore Ioe Ralston looks on as Iunior Paul Mackowsky stands in the water. Keep on cartin' - Brian McLaughlin and Doug Ford in the golf cart. We only have one returning sen- ior, he said. But we have two so- phomore prospects and if they come around by the time the state meet gets here, we'll be able to compete for the title. Karen Callaway
