J.V. Sets It Up Using enthusiasm and consistency as their lance and broadsword, our J.V. Volleyball team con- quered the tyrants of the Western league, and es- tablished a presidence for future members. One of their main assets was their coach Lori Schwalbach, who before coming to us was previously the assis- tant Basketball coach at U.S.I.U.

Spiking It For The Win Hard work. That ' s what it took for the 1982-83 Volleyball team to come as far as they did. The team consisted of many returning players and a few new ones. Ms. Patterson was a great help as she used her coaching abilities to earn a credit towards her masters degree. They met as a team two weeks before school started and practiced for many long hours to achieve their own standards of perfor- mance. The team was a little disappointed because this year they had to share their courts in the gym and their practice time with the newly formed Bad- minton team. But in the long run, it improved their playing on the challenging sand courts near the gym. It was a little disappointing because we lost Ms. Scanlon, our coach last year, commented Katy Kellers but her advise enabled us to contin- ue on. Coach Patterson gives her team encouragement.
