The Waterloo Parks Board of 1915 set up a rental agreement whereby the club rent: city land at a nominal (marge. The club built and maintains its own courts. - "s, » Art litrttergar1t, the first presideotof the club. collected money from members to cover the build~ ing of the courts. ‘Grass aunts and clay courts were originally built.

Memberships numbers continued to increase and in 1964 the club had the money to build six Har-tru (a pavement-like subL stance) courts at an estimated cost of $20.00). Bleachers were installed around the main exhi- bition court as well. t As tennis became more popular in the 1960's. Waterloo Tennis club also became more popular. Membership numbers increased about 300 and the need for expanded facilities became apparent. Waterloo Parks Board granted approval for the “ding of the present clubhouse in 1968. The city .. still holds a to year mortgage on the three-story the courts?. By this time. the club was a tight so- cial group with members who often took part in social activities together. The club remained a tight unit over the next few years. Lights were added to the courts in the 1930's and the first club house was built in 1936. It wasn’t until 1947 that the club wally under- took the task of promoting membership. The first membership drive in that year allowed the fluit to Another result of increasing membership was a cost-sharing agreement signed with University of Waterloo in 1970. This came about because the university needed more time on the courts. Since 1965, UW had rented the facilities for instruction and playing time. _ A $160,000 provincial-grant for community-orient- ed sports facilities prompted the university to join the Waterloo Tennis Club. By July of 1972. constmc- tion of six courts behind the Waterloo Tennis Club had begun. The joint plans specified that the club would have the use of the courts and the university Lynn Lubczuk (left) and Sue Cunningham of Brown's Sports model the latest in ten- nis fashions.

Tennis is good exercise. It puts you in shape and once you’re there. provides a great opportunity to display fashions on a trim frame. Looking good on the tennis court doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Fa- shionable outfits for men and women can be purchased at reasonable prices. According to sales clerks at Brown’s Sports in Waterloo. women’s tennis out- fits cost about $17 for a two-piece en- semble. Basic white suits or outfits off- set with colored trim are a wise choice. Tennis dresses can cost between $23 and Good running shoes are essential for tennis. Ladies' shoes range in price from $10 to $30. Men's running shoes are about the same price. For the male tennis player. any shirt will do as long as it allows free move- ment. Fashionable shorts cost about $9.95. White is not essential but some tennis clubs prefer it. Of course. no one says you have to dress fashionably to play tennis. But if you like to look the part whatever you do, an essential addition to the complete tira aiSsaudeiSt mm; Aspeei-tptamsedthitomnmeris tttegmitrrDeveio-ttPmgramliththeheip otagrawttromttteMrsiMrrorctsmreeartdRer- nation. tttisrmeni_itaueto-ret_tiirm qrnterutsttet-ttteattesMnuearsdtsshtthas atmsie,b-1eAgtrot_ttteg-,, 'Netirantm-i'ritttoiiedtrtrarirtstmetors' sa1ariet.'rhetiekrthea-r.isWperPerer 'rtteimtmtsors,eterrsremtteesrrmnttteUisiversit'r" at WateHoo. an Pat was“ Yvonne Peach.

Believe it or not. professional tennis players pay upwards of $30 for a tennis ball. Of course, when the stakes are in the thousands of dollars. who could be- come the winner with anything less? For people who don't enter international competitions. balls can be purchased for as little as three for $2.50. Rackets are the most important item needed for tennis. Without them, the game is little more than well-dressed men and women standing around on a court. Professional players have been known to use both metal and wooden rackets. Preference is up to the player since good rackets are available in either material. Rackets can be purchased for $10. But you won't save much in repairs over a season with a $10 racket. Twenty-five dollars is the accepted price for a good quality racket likely to withstand the tor- ture of a beginner learning to volley or a pro misjudging a backhand. 1n%Mitimttottteaetmmsameatts,tttee%bttoats '.E.'chch0d
