SOFTBALL MBC ' s Grand Slam Girls! This year, Club Sports softball got off to a smashing start. They started practicing after Spring Break and had their first game at Randolph-Macon Women ' s Col- lege. The girls worked very well together throughout the season and had a lot of fun. The softball team was led by student coach Nancy Benson, a sophomore from New Jersey, and Club Sports sponsor Mrs. Betty Kegley. Softball at MBC, be- cause it is a club sport, is organized and coached by students. This gives girls a more relaxed feeling about playing. Al- though this may not be the best season the team has had in the past, they look at the fact that there are no seniors on the team. The team unity that was built this year will remain with the team next year. Watc h out ... the gals on the softball team will be coming out in full force next season ready to take on even the rough- est of teams. Sheri Powell lends a helping hand at an MBC soft- ball game. 180 SPORTS

SKIING Take a Chairlift to Fun . Snow, wind, ice and cold — these are only a few of the things to overcome when MBC students track to the slopes. Every- one knows, especially at MBC, ski sea- son is just around the corner when over half the campus is praying for snow and hoping at the same time they can make it to the mountains before they get snowed Wintergreen seemed to be MBC ' s favor- ite resort this year, but let us not leave out Massanutten, Showshoe, Vail, Aspen and any other place that the MBC commu- nity can escape to. Some people choose to take lessons and sign up for the ski class that is offered through the Physical Education Department. Where- as others decide to snowplow off on their own. Whether taken as a class credit or going to the slopes just for fun, MBC stu- dents and their friends had a great sea- son for skiing. Some of the slopes en- countered were everything from the Skid- der Bunny slope for the beginners to the Devil ' s Elbow for those who may be a little more daring. Also in the winter MBC students like to ice skate. Ice skating is a great way to have fun and enjoy the time that the students have away from their studies.
