GAMES PEOPLE PLAY During May, June, and July’s heat, twenty-five boys practiced for two hours a day, four days a week at Raley Field to sharpen their baseball skills. At another field, girls rehearsed similar warm-up techniques for soft- ball. For the boys’ team, the long hot hours paid off as they won twenty of their twenty-five games. The girls, instead of traveling from town to town as the boys did, battled against local competition, in which the Forrester Fertilizer team emerged the winner. Bowling offered weekly competition for those who pre- ferred a less seasonal sport. John Young, a bowler, stated, “I really enjoy bowling, and be- sides learning a sport, I also get to meet new people.” Some students enjoyed vig- orous exercise from such sports as racquetball, tennis, swim- ming, ultimate frisbee, and flag football. Timmy Andrews an avid football player was quoted as saying, “Football gives me a chance to get together with my friends and have a good time on a Sunday afternoon.” Patiently waiting for a fish to bite, David Reagler watches for the first sign of a big catch. A competitive game of ping-pong is an enjoyable way to spend the after- noon for Barry Ford and Mike Nutt. Exercise such as jogging keeps Ricky and Robby Hass in shape. 16 Non-School Sports

WE’RE PROUD Pride springs up in various places; the halls and classes, the streets of our town, and the teams that go to competitions. Halls were full of decorations and excited students Home- coming week. Hobo Day and Joe Cool Day were a favored change for dress-up activities. Another new twist was the snake dance, which involved more individuals than the usual parade. First place in the history con- test at EACC was captured for the fourth year. First overall was Alex Young, Michael Weaver was fourth place, and Wynne placed first in the group compe- tition. Not to be outdone, math stu- dents Kevin Brown and Hoang Bui won first places in trigonometry and Algebra II at the regional math contest at Jonesboro. Top English stu- dents tried their hand at a college-bowl type competition and received second place for their diligent efforts. Three members of WHS were selected to attend the Governor’s School for the Gifted. Kellie Mulhollen, Dennis Lawrence and Hoang Bui were involved in the program that lasted from June 15 to July 18. Hoang, who went in the mathematics area said, “I think it’s a great program. I enjoyed it tremendously.” Each of these activities con- tributed toward increasing the pride reflected in the students. With heads high, the flag corps patri- otically salute the flag. All attention is focused on Bettye Fis- cus as she's introduced to the All-Star Game crowd. Governor's school participants Den- nis Lawrence and Kelli Mulhollen dis- cuss their experiences. O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A is shouted by the cast as they conclude the play. Emotion runs wild as the Jr. track team displays their trophy. Proud 15

Even though one ball slipped by. Junior Ragle shakes it off and plans to improve on his second chance. If only skate laces weren’t so long. Kim Wheeler could untangle the mess much quicker and get busy skating. Chalked up and taking his aim is Sean Coyne as he prepares to shoot to pocket the striped ball. Non-School Sports 17
