Young
player
leaves

with
racket
by T• mmy Smith
Top-seeded tennis player Missy
Tatum has
made
her
mark
with a
racket.
A sophomore here, Missy is a
member of Rebelettes, Interact,
French Club, andY-Teens, in
addition to being the number one
female player in
the
newly formed
WMHS tennis team
Missy has played tennis for four
years and currently receives
instruction from Peter Marx
at
Bayou DeSiard Country Club.
Inspiration comes from a love for
the
game. "I just like to play,"
commented
the
petite blonde.
est
Monroe golfers
earn
third in district
Missy plays a strong, energetic
game,
with "a nice, hard swing"
and "a
good
serve" being two of her
best points.
Weaknesses for Missy are
"keeping my mind on the
court.
I
tense up."
On
the
court
every afternoon,
Missy keeps her game up with
tournaments during the summer
where
she
takes away a prize
almost every time.
Her goals
and
ambitions include
trying to make the top
10
of the
state in tennis and working toward
a
scholarship.

76
