The cross country varsity team claimed three victories over area schools. The harriers ' lirst win came when junior Mark Ojeda placed third to lead the Gens as they trounced Colum- bia City. Reserve harriers, in a l)laze of fire, defeat- ed 13 competitors. Composed mainly of sopho- mores, these dedicated runners Ije an slowly but improved as the season progressed. As red and blue harriers ran the 2 ' -;-mile treks, the Key Club ran from door to door sell- ing light luilbs. President Richard Bleeke gladly accepted the profit olitained during their month-long sale. The girl spikers launched practice two weeks before school as they were split into varsity and reserve teams. Coached by Mr. Tom Beerman and Miss Sue Jordan, the squads worked on Olympic style volleyball, making it a more thrilling and interesting sport to watch and play. Intramural Softball began as 48 girls divid- ed into four teams practicing Tuesdays after school in preparation for a tournament. The two-year undefeated reserve football team humbled to first-place city reserve grid champs Bishop Luers on September 30. General gridmen proved themselves super- ior on September 20 in the tie-breaker overtime against North Side as the Redskins mistakenly attempted to run a conversion. Sophomore Roosevelt Barnes scored two touchdowns in the first half while North tallied only one. The Performing Arts Department presented a half time show consisting of Walt Disney tunes followed by the introduction of parents of football players and cheerleaders as the Athletic Department honored them with Parent Night. A fourth-quarter North Side 2-point conver- sion tied the score at 20 all. In overtime. Ron Hamilton broke . through, and Brad Collins kicked the winning point as North scored but failed in their 2-point conversion attempt.
