In the fall, fast and furious action was seen in touch football, with the Tekes finally landing the championship. The Sig Taus commanded second place. Danny Evans cinched the singles tennis title for the Independent Club. Certainly the most interest was centered around the competition in basketball, with each organization boasting four teams. With as many as six games being played each night, a regular league type bracket was followed. When all playoffs were com- pleted, a Sig Tau team occupied top position, with the Phi Sigs in second. Even after the championship had been decided, the organizations unofficially extended the season by fielding all-star teams. This year was also tops in Intramural ping-pong, volleyball, and badminton, and in the spring, the activity returned outdoors for competition in golf, tennis doubles, softball, and track. Medals were given the winners of individual sports, while organizational teams were rewarded with trophy cups. Standings and placements were totaled and computed to determine the winner of the traveling supremacy trophy. An individual trophy was also awarded to the Intramural athlete who had gathered the most points during active partici- pation. In 1955 the individual trophy went to Ono Monochino, and the traveling trophy to the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity. The intramural program is based on the slogan Sports for All, and the Commission is composed of six members representing each social organiza- tion plus one member at large. The group is directed by Dr. H. D. Peterson. Page I )0

In view of this fact, the Co-Recreational Council arranged for recrea- tional facilities of the college to be available to the students on a liberal schedule with necessary super- vision, but largely on an informal basis. The college gymnasium was open for co-recrea- tional activities on Wednesday nights from 8:00 to 9:30, and on Saturday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:30. The college pool was open for mixed swimming on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:30. By obtaining a special golf sports permit from Dr. Peterson ' s office, students were free to use the Mary- ville Country Club at any time. The Moryville Bowling Alley, with modern and complete facilities, is open the year round. Special lowered rates were made available to college students on Monday afternoons. The Council consists of ten members, five men and five women. On the present body are Roger Cook, George Hoskey, Nancy Rainey, Ruth Rethe- meyer, Gloria Jamison, and Barbara Kunze. Roger Cook is the chairman. The program provides that anyone, no matter what his degree of ability, can engage in healthy, recreative activities on a competitive basis, or just for fun. Page 109

Until this year the women students of the campus have not been afforded the same degree of super- vised Intramural competition as have the men. In the fall of 1955, the Women ' s Intramural Commis- sion was formulated to replace and broaden the function of the former Women ' s Athletic Association into a full scale Intramural program. Seven teams, the Hawks, the Bearkittens, the Red Racers, the Tigerettes, the Alphas, the Tri Sigmas, and the Deltas, entered the consolation elimination tournament in basketball, which was set up and managed by Barbara Kunze. The tournament was won by the Red Racers, with Sherri Heath as cap- tain, and Wilma Jayne, Shirley Peterson, Barbara Kunze, Karen Gardner, Barbara Alsberry, Donna Smith, and Beverly Merkle comprising the team. Sec- ond place winners were the Alpha Sigma Alpha team with Jeanette Roberts, Barbara Sharp, Jo Ann Swanson, Nancy Kariger, Sue Williamson, Darlene Vonderschmidt, Margaret O ' Connor, Sue Whitford, Jo Thielen, and Gladene Sherard. The Hawks were third place winners. During the second semester, interest was centered on the volleyball tournament managed by Sandra Hazlett. Six teams entered the consolation elimina- tion tournament. The teams and their captains were: Hawks, Shirley Heits; Sigma Sigma Sigma, Sandra Hayzlett; Alpha Sigma Alpha, Nancy Rainey; PEM Club, Carolyn McDonald; Independent Club Team I, Barbara Crowe; Independent Club Team II, Veda Sundell. Keen interest was shown in the singles and doubles tournaments in shuffleboard, badminton, aerial darts, and table tennis. Marilyn O ' Connor set up and man- aged the various tournaments for individual sports. Officers of the Council are: Barbara Benning, president; Pat Adams, vice-president; Joyce Lash, secretary; and Janice Volkins, historian. The faculty sponsor is Miss Bonnie Magill.
