Aardvarks bump Alkys Bumping balls over a net at 7:30 in the morning sounds easy, but as the intramural volleyballers soon realized, it is a lot easier to miss and bump into a wall. The intramural volleyball program was once again formed as a spring activity for students and teachers. Over 80 participants gathered for this event to compete for the first place title. Throughout a season of bets and various other interferences, the Aardvarks conquered the confident Alkys and emerged from the tournament as the victors. Mrs. Betty Cudworth. who sponsored the season’s program and was in charge of keeping all rules and records, commented, “I felt that the tournament was time-consuming, but worthwhile to wake up in the morning to watch a bunch of crazy kids.” In the regular playing season, the top four teams were Alkys. 10-1; Teachers. 10-1; Trojans. 9-2; and the Fruits, 9-2.

Second season for ski racers For the second consecutive year. Greg Hurt successfully coached ski racers from Estes Park High School. He worked with the 13 students on a completely voluntary basis, and helped them on his own time. Many of his friends also assisted with the team. Included are Jim Sloan, head of mountain crew at Hidden Valley, who helped out at the beginning of the season. Bob Holth-aus and J.D. Lichty helped at Practices and went to most of the races. None were paid anything for all their work with the students. The team wasn’t school sponsored, so students were busy trying to raise money by having an antique FREE RIDE.

They succeeded by not having to pay expenses. The ski racing season began in late October and extended through March. Team members prepared for the season by conditioning at Hidden Valley. Racing in the Eastern Division, the team participated in five competition and one classification race. At each meet, members competed on giant slalom and slalom courses. “From the first day last year, to the first day this year, the kids really improved 500%” Hurt noted. TOP DOG.
