Junior Varsity Is Promising This year's Junior Varsity volleyball team gained con- fidence through fundamentals and experience. The team consisted of four sophomores and ten freshmen, and al- though the junior varsity team lacked height and was a very young team, they won five and lost five games in actual league games, in all their games, they came out with a record of twelve wins and twelve losses. The team al- ways played tough until the end. And many of their games were close ones. The girls had a lot of fun and they learned many things not only to make them better volleyball players, but also to make them better people. These players are sure to be an asset to the Varsity team in the coming years. The girls selected Lisa Hale as the Most Improved volleyball play- er and Rhonda Ray as the Most Valuable Player. 21 Kronl row: V. Elbert. V. Elbert l„ Olsen, M. Lott, L.
