A Whole New Ball Game .f ' When girls come to high school and go out to play volleyball, they usually have to learn the game from scratch. Up to high school, volleyball is only played in phys- ical education for a few weeks, there are no organized games or city leagues for the girls. So Ju- nior Varsity Volleyball is an im- portant step to learn and develop the skills required to make Varsi- ty. This job is not easy but these girls came through with flying col- ors. Ending in a winning season. SCHEDULE J.V.

Bay Runners Hit the Road Both boys and girls Cross Country teams hold outstanding records for this year. Their spirit and dedication proved to be true at all their meets. Although the boys had a very young team with Bob Bruce being the only returning senior, they made it to second place in the Palm Bay Invitational and third in the south County Championships. Laura Paulillo and Jean Buhler were the only returning lettermen girls and they led the team to a first place position in the Palm Bay In- vitational, and eleventh place in state- wide competition. One of the highlights and most profitable events of the year for these hard-working teams was their Run-a-Thon. Each runner took many a turn circling the track, for a combined twenty-four hours. Be- sides making enough money to buy new uniforms, working toward a common goal brought them all a little closer together. At the Runea-Thon, all team members spent twen- ty-four eating, camping, and running together. lt was an experience that brought everyone close together. Coming in at the finish line, Mark Fontain looks like he ran a good race. Racing to- wards the goal, the girls showed true determi- nation. Hard work pays off. Hard work pays off. The girls earned many victories at meets such as this. At the casual setting ofthe run-a-thon, Andy Vajanyi and Bob Bruce let their true selves show through. 98
