10 Years Ago In an effort to right its girls tennis program, Warsaw has turned to Joe Beeson, who started Warsaw's boys tennis program in 1962 and coached until 1969. Then Beeson left to build the Warsaw Racquet Club. He returned to coach the Warsaw boys from 1982-1987. He followed that by coaching Warsaw's girls team from 1989-1992. It was then the Warsaw girls enjoyed their greatest run, going to semistate for four years in a row and advancing to the state final four in 1990 and 1991. Beeson hopes he can bring back the old magic. 25 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Rule of Warsaw recently returned from a 13-day visit to the Hawaiian Islands, where they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.
