BfiCClJIJGJiJBtlJ Improved season Red Line! Green Line! that ' s only a few commands shouted out by Badminton Coach Bill Ohison, as the team exercised with sprints, pushups and running. Ohison, when asked to comment on the season said the girls had a better than average year! but, everyone needed improvement. This year ' s captains were Mary Bailey and Doris Willerth, with Doris named as the most valuable player. Ohison feels that aside from the All-League Conference Champions, Singles players Doris Willerth and Donita Descourez, along with the doubles team, Laure Baietti and Joann Forsberg, that the entire team should be recognized as outstanding players . Ohison said that ninety percent of the team ' s success was attributed to the team, itself, and ten percent was to himself, the coach. The singles set a record with thirty-nine wins and five defeats. The team came out with ten wins, three defeats and one loss. In the confer- ence meet, the team placed second out of seven.
