Gymnastics: Coach Boyer Continues A Well-established Tradition! Mr. Richard Boyer replaced Coach Sammy Andrews as the gymnastic coach this year. An experienced teacher and successful mentor, Coach Boyer instilled discipline and motiva- tion into his students. Practicing daily in the Paget Gymnasium, the team per- fected skills in floor exercises, the side horse, the long horse, the still rings, the parallel bars, and the high bar. Key team members included Bryan Feldman, Robert Stewart, .lay Braxton, John Cheves, Burt Satcher, Brad Bet- tis, and Kent Parajon. Serving as man- ager was senior Paul O'Connor. Mr. Boyer recognized that a good gymnastics program takes several years to develop, consequently, he worked independently with students in the Lower and Middle Schools who revealed an interest in gymnastics. l k k- 'lk ,X LL 'Xi K ff gig? 1 if in I ' j V' .ffl I 1 l f I S!

Racketeers Girls' Tennis has become a popular sport at Woodward Academy in re- cent years. The i978 teams was coached by Mrs. Claire Adams, phys- ical education teacher and dorm par- ent. Practicing many hours onthe nine courts along with the boys' team, the girls managed to defeat several of the arch-rivals. Outstanding players were Anne Alderman and sophomore Elea- nor Swann. Mr. Bill Lineberry. chairman of the Social Studies Department and proud father of a new son, spent many after- noons with the Boys' tennis team. Fac- ing a stiff schedule against Westmin- ster and Marist on the Northside and M.D. Collins on the Southside, the team did well. ln talking with various players, the yearbook staff discovered the many reasons why students elected tennis as their major sport. One reason was the popularity of the sport in the U.S. Another centered around physical fit- ness and keeping in shape. All players agreed that while tennis was a team sport, it was also a sport in which an individual could receive immediate success and recognition for his efforts and talents. Woodward was fortunate to have not only two good teams but two ex- cellent coaches. 'i va tru 51 H was f 1 X L I eff' , ff . -35,3 Nj. 4 W ii-X 'W skill ff Xml ' , w l f .
