Fifth Period Sweeps Intramurak lured the title after defeating pre- viously unbeaten Senior 4 for the 5th period title, and then soundly beating the champions from 6th period in two games by scores of 11-3, and 11-7. The excitement continued as the basketball began to bounce in the gym. The games were physical and the competition fierce. Junior 2 whose members were Butch Faircloth, Dave Schroeder, Bruce Coffey, Ryan Cook, Brian Schuster, and James Dixon ad- vanced to the championship game against Junior 1 of 6th period. Once again, the 5th period team won the game as their run-and- stun style of play was too much to handle for the Junior 1 team. Speed softball closed out the in- tramural season. Although the number of teams was sparse, the competitiveness of each team was reflected by it's play. Senior 1 of the 5th period advanced to play the Senior 2 team from 6th pe- riod. Senior 1 eventually won the championship indicationg the dominance of the 5th period teams. Senior 1 consisted of Selby, Milan, Zajac, Haluska, Ba- ca, Muttillo, Coreno, J. Brown, and Ferrone. — Larry Witmer T T nder the direction of Coach Bossu, the intramural sports season was another success at Ben- edictine. Several members of the student body joined together to form very competetive teams. The intramural season kicked off with speed football. The teams that participated were well balanced, but the juniors were the class to beat. Members of the 5th period- champion Junior 1 team were Dave Porter, Antoine Sales, Larry Cistrunk, Mike Bonomo, Brian Pendleton, and Shawn Dycks. They faced the Junior 1 team from the 6th period. Although the game was close throughout, the 5th period Juniors controlled the match and won the championship by a score of 12-9. The volleyball season featured some of the toughest competition and most exciting games in years. However, seniors took over during the playoffs and dominat- ed the event.

Beach Party in the Gym History was made at Benedictine this year when the first annual Beauty vs. the Beast Volleyball Mix- er was held in April. This event was co-sponsored by Benedictine's and Beaumont's Student Councils and con- sisted of volleyball teams from schools competing in a round robin tournament culminating in a championship game with a $100.00 first prize. The tour- nament was held in the gym and was followed by a mixer. The mixer was the idea of the Ben- edictine Student Council who were try- ing to come up with a new way to work with Beaumont. They needed an idea that was fresh and would be supported by both schools. When the night of the mixer finally came, BHS had 28 teams and Beau- mont had 16. In addition, about 120 people who weren't on teams showed up and paid at the door. Play began at 7:00 and lasted until about 10:30. In between this time some of the most fierce volleyball competition ever. When the smoke finally cleared, Benedictine teams like The Deadly Da- gos, The Brotherhood, and The Col- onists had all bit the dust. The final victory and $100.00 went to the senior team from Benedictine known as the Five Unusually Crazy Kids + One which consisted of Mike Kadlub, Joe Russo, Jeff Thresher, Mike Mivsek, Larry Witmer, and fohn Sa- lem. If this does become an annual event, the Beaumont girls better start their training early or they'll find out once again that boys from Benny take their volleyball seriously.
