This success came despite the early promotion of Melissa Brzezinski and Sandy Kleifgen to the varsi- ty squad. Said Coach Rita Robbins, The girls did an excellent job in adjusting to the changes in the team. The strongest po ints of this group were, as Miss Robbins stated, our fioor coverage and team co- operation. To help further this total team effort. Coach Robbins encouraged all returning members to play organized volleyball in the off-season in or- der to prepare for a stronger team next fall. Another boost to the spirit was a trip to Ben Davis to attend a clinic featuring the Women's Olympic team. From this. Coach Robbins derived new drills, exercises, and ball passing skills. I think it benefit- ted all who attended, including myself, said Miss Robbins. Freshmen, with a 1 1-2 season pleased their coach with their hard work and positive attitude. Mrs. Staton, a graduate of lUPUI, played volleyball there, and commented favorably about their pro- gram and the opportunity for girls to get athletic scholarships. They have a well-developed program for a small school, said Coach Staton about 1 alma mater. Frosh were especially proud of their victory o' • Chatard, whose varsity and reserve teams won i : city tournament. During tournament play, they seemed to fl down a little, probably because of nervousness a I lack of experience with competition. But there ; much talent and determination among the group ■ draw on for future junior varsity and varsity pla; Noreen Pluckebaum showed a great deal spunk and ability in serving and spiking, but it hard to single anyone out. They all did an outstar ing job, said the coach. The team worked on fundamental skills so i their victories would not depend on haphazard sb ping, slamming, and luck. Luck did prevail in the Ritter game, even thou the opposition lacked skill, but this was rare. Sk usually won. HERE BOY! Here boy! Cathy Torzewski, dribbling the soon- be-served ball, awaits its return to her hands at the varsity ma' against Franklin Central.

Set, bump, spike, victory CLOSE YOUR EYES, open wide, and swallow! Cheryl Green, appearing to swallow a giant marshmallow, sets up for a spike against Roncalli oppo- nents. Beginning again A New Beginning was the theme of the varsity volleyball team, starting with new coaches and new ideas, It was not only a new beginning, said Coach Rita Robbins, but also a good beginning for us. The team ended the season at the .500 mark, with a 9-7 season, 10-9 counting tourney. The year went the way Coach Robbins expected, commenting I was pleased with the record. Even the games we lost were very close. Coach Robbins, in her first year as head coach, changed her style somewhat from last season. The team utilized a man-up defense and instilled a seri- ous weight-training program. For the most part, the team was young, and in- cluded only two returning players with previous var- sity experience. These varsity veterans, Karen Green and Kathleen Steinhauer, offered the team stability. Already looking to next year. Coach Robbins ex- pected a strong returning spiking group, and said that the present group really began to jell, to pull together in the end. LAUNCHING IT like a rocket, Kathleen Steinhauer aims her powerful serve over the net to an unsuspecting Franklin Central team.
