What A Way To Relax! Weight Lifting Is No More Male Domain an you imagine how embarrassing it would be for a boy to know a girl was able to lift more weight than he could? lf not, just ask any boy who has ever lifted weights with Cammy Perez. Cammy, who has been lift- ing weights for three and a half years, never had any in- tention of becoming a weight lifter. Cammy's boyfriend was lifting weights one day when she decided to try lift- ing, just for fun. To her sur- prise and the shock of her boyfriend and the other boys in the weight room, on her first try Cammy was able to lift more pounds than half of the astonished boys. Weight lifting was more fun, than a sport for Cammy. When asked why she lifted weights, Cammy said that it kept her in good physical shape. She also said, It re- laxes me. I feel better after weight lifting. Cammy believes that weight lifting is not mascu- line as some people think it is. Weight lifting is a person- al preference. While some girls chose to play softball or basketball, Cammy chose to lift weights. All Weather Sport You Can Find Her There Every very Saturday morn- ing, whether it's sunshining or snowing, she can be found at the Professor Bowl. She is Sandra Tuggle and she has been bowling for nine years. Sandra is a member of the bowling team called the Traveling League. Sandra placed 4th place in the city tournament which was no surprise since her highest game was 234. The highest Saturday possible game is 300. May teenagers strayed from bowling because they thought it was strictly an adult sport. Others thought of bowling as being much more complicated than it really was. However, the old method of writing down scores on a score sheet, no longer is common and the scoring is all computeriezed. Although recently more teenagers are beginning to bowl, Sandra doesn't think bowling will become as pop- ular as soccer, a once uncom- mon sport, because bowling is routine and not quite as exciting as some other sports. Routine or not, Sandra loves to bowl and because of this has become very talented in the sport. Looking for her next strike, is junior Sandra Tuggle. p ,'A Sporting Traditionflfllli

Q in an Play Ball. If Your Team Never Wins lt's Still The Social Event 0f The Summer f your team is good, itls a sport, but even if your team never wins a game, it is still a major social event of the summer. For many girls, softball was more than a sport, it was a means of not only meeting many new friends, but softball was also an outlet for built up anxi- eties. Junior Haley Chapman said that when she plays softball, she 'trealses a lot of anxiety by hitting the ball. Among the most popular teams were The Breakers from Little Daks and War- den Volkswagon from Geyer Springs. Teams sometimes began practicing as early as April. Regular season play lasted from May through Ausut, and many teams en- tered pre-season and post season tournaments. Among the most played in tourna- ments were Geyer Springs tournaments, Burns Park tournaments and the district and state tournaments.
