I ' 1 '- I 'iw ,5 ., ,I 34 vw' 'U '1 '2 THE MAKING OF A SEASON II With the decline of one Spartan team came the emergence of another. As the much heralded football team continued to disappoint, the incon- spicuous girls, volleyball team continued to impress as they played on, seemingly unbeatable. No one knew what to expect from this first year varsity sport. For many years, an uncoached co-ed volleyball program has been run in the spring, but this was the only opportunity for players to gain experience. Call it beginners' luck or natural talent, but whatever it is, the Stoneham High volleyball team had it. Coached by Glenda Layne, the hardworking squad earned an 8-1 record, yet was denied an invitation to the state tournament due to a shortage of games in their schedule. Had they played just one more match, the team would have been statebound. The team efforts were greatly boosted by the efforts of Brazilian exchange students Marta Siquiera and Valeria Correl. Both girls had playing experience, adding a veteran's touch to a rookie squad. The girls' tremend- ous talent was exceeded only by their en- couragement and enthusiasm for the rest of the team. Marta, along with Paula Doherty, co-captained the team. Why did this young, inexperienced team fare so much better than Stoneham teams who worked together all summer? The differ- ence is obvious - the volleyball team did not play in the Middlesex League. The accomplishments of the 1977 volleyball team may have a greater bearing on the Stoneham sports program than was ever an- ticipated. Matching their record against that of most other Spartan teams may prove to the athletic director that Stoneham really could be out of its league . E9
