Two to districts Young and inexperienced was the reason the Boy ' s Varsity Tennis team failed to live up to expectations, commented Coach Tom Tollic. The team came away with only two victories in their fourteen meets, a record that was disappointing yet bright because all but one member is returning for next year. As for the team, Dave Maskeri and Bill Pagiey were the first doubles team in West Leyden ' s history to ever make it to the district finals. According to Coach Tollic, the team has optimistic hopes for next year, because of the good attitude the team possessed, in spite of the number of losses they suffered. Captained by Senior Dan Waller, the team could not escape the cellar of the conference, in spite of the efforts by Most Valuable Player, Dave Maskeri and other outstanding players Jim Grawlow and Bill Pagiey. Practicing a serve, Senior Jack Kipp warms up before a home meet against Hinsdale South. His four year experience with the Tennis team was a valuable asset to the team. With a powerful backhand, Varsity singles player Dan Waller never lets his eye off the ball as he accurately returns his opponent ' s well hit volley. Standing in his offensive position and getting ready to send the ball back over the net, Nick Rogosienski plans ahead to defeat his opponent. 196
