Girls Participate In Track Competition Girls’ sports becomes more popular each year at AHS, as new athletic activ¬ ities are created for the females of the school. This year. Miss Wallace, Miss Johnson, and Miss Farris lead the girls in intermural basketball and volleyball. For the first time, a girls’ track team is formed, which competes with other schools at two Saturday track meets. Competitors are recognized for individ¬ ual accomplishments, instead of as a team. Six first places, twelve second places, and fourteen third places are filled by Abingdon girls. Girls’ sports are very promising at AHS. 1. Debbie Mills, second place winner, flies over the low hurdles in an attempt to beat the clock. 2. Gail Johnson seems to be well guarded in an inter-mural basketball game. 3. Angie Bevins and Debbie Roark are both eager to return the volley¬ ball to the other side of the net. 4. Patti Elliott watches an event while Marsha Jones warms up for the next event.
