The other kids hadn't played very much and it was all new to them. Senior Robbie Peterson led the team as he made all- district and placed in regionals as well. Also leading the team with their all-district titles were seniors Ken Orvig and Barry Seven golfers make All-district squad McNeill, juniors Kevin Mar- tin and Scott Chambers and sophomores Kenneth Bird and jimmy Gann.

Design byjayne Gramling through April, when the season ended, golfers spent three to four hours each day working to perfect their stroke and improve their mental awareness of the game. As a prerequisite for becoming a member of the golf team, students must be able to pay for practice fees and transportation, supply their own clubs and possess an optimistic attitude con- cerning their willingness to work. In reference to the future, Ken Orvig expressed, We have a lot of young talent coming up and I feel that in the future we'll have a strong and very competitive team. -Jayne Gramling Following through on a powerful swing, Robbie Peterson fseniorj never loses sight of the ball on the fairway.

C PROFILE Strong effort Revathi and Cathy had a tough time getting their doubles team rolling. Revathi is a much better singles player, as is Cathy. Due to rob- lems with numbers fof girls on the team and stiff competition in singles in our district, it was necessary that they play doubles together. It is difficult to play aggressive doubles when you are instinctively a baseline player. The girls gave Revathl it their best shot and beat a lot of good teams Cafhl' Vef1kafaPPaU by a strong desire to win, but were also out- Lopez played by some much stronger teams. A new addition to the Varsity team, Angie Davis Csophomorej returns a forehand shot. During practice, each member was drilled on certain areas to improve upon their weaknesses. Pbozo by Kevin Campbell. Transfer from L. D. Bell high school, Phil Oliver Cseniorj demonstrates his excellence on the court. Oliver was a member of the team for only a short period of time.
