Intramural Program Has Finest Year The intramural basketball program, under the direction of Mr. Clark, enjoyed its finest season. The program was instituted in order to allow those stu- dents who are not members of a high school team to participate in a basketball program. This season the league consisted of six teams with students be- tween the grades 9 through 1 2 composing the teams. The keen competition throughout the league made for an interesting season, which saw the champion- ship decided on the final Saturday. The final standings showed Donnie Kilburn ' s team, The P.W. ' s first; The Playboys , captained by John Lehman, second; with Richie Kilburn ' s Hillbillies , third. The teams of Tom Foghino, Charlie Jackson, and Clarence Barth tied for fourth place.
