Track teams uphold school honor Both of the track teams did very well this season, consid- ering their youth and inexperience. Individually, Bev Scholl placed in Discus and Shotput; Jeanine Ketteler placed in the Long Jump, and the Girls 2-Mile Relay Team also placed at Conference. Both of the Boys Relay Teams placed in the meets and tournaments. The boys broke many records, and also won a trophy in the 2-Mile Relay at Lynch. Individually, Clyde Stuhr placed in the Hurdles, Mike Spieker in the Long Jump, Bob Veik in the Mile and 800, Roger Seier in the 800, and Rick Pelster in the 400 and Hurdles. It was a good year. Below, Clyde Stuhr clears the Intermediate Hurdles at the Conference Tournament to set a new school record.

Junior High sports are reactivated The Junior High intermural sports program was reactivated this year because of an increase in the number of students. The sports in which the stu- dents participated were Volleyball, Co-ed Basket- ball and Track. The girls volleyball team beat Spalding in their one and only outing, during Spirit Week. The basketball season was made pos- sible because the other junior high schools fielded co-ed teams also. A lack of heighth and experience on the P.H.S. team resulted in a disappointing season, with no wins but a lot of fun. Miss Grete- man was coach for both the volleyball and basket- ball teams. Both the boys and girls track teams were coached by Mr. Dalton. At their Sandhills Gateway Con- ference Track Meet, Todd Jennings placed third in the 60 yard dash. Randy Johnson and Todd Jennings placed fourth and fifth in the 100 yard run. Randy placed fifth in the 220 yard run, and Randy and Todd placed third and fifth in the 440 yard run. The eighth grade girls relay team placed second in the 440 relay. Several other runners placed in their heats, and all completed their events.
