Compe- titions could be compared to intergalactic battles in space, Grueling matches set one school against another, Athletes were proud to serve their school, to exert, to strain, to push themselves beyond their capacity. Dedicated Spar- tans worked from daybreak to sunset to achieve maximum team performance as well as reaching personal victories. The effort was well worth it when the tattered, defeated opponent crawled off the field. The year ended the reign for some athletes, and left others with the thrill of competi- tion. All and all, the force was with the Spartans. Carol Baker strives to finish first. Coach Ehrlich explains strategy to waterpolo players, An injured player listens to the coaches' instructions. Boys cross country runners off to a good start. Volleyball team member bumps the ball to the front row. Don Cool takes time out to rest. The Varsity Football Team discusses next play. Michelle Fleming shows style in tennis. Water polo player puts strength in throwing ball. 'SK iv' I r' 1 l r b V .7ac Z'f'4'

We became a crew once more united on the journey through time. The seniors from '79 super-fine returned Friday and were an influential part of the homecoming game. The '78-'79 mascot Nancy Weneta once again led the crowds in chants and cheers and Donna Gibson, Villa Park's 1978 homecoming queen crowned Jodi Strauss as the reigning queen.
