Competition And Good Sportsmanship Hand-In-Hand Making friends and lots of contact with other schools in District 17-5A, helped to promote the good sports- manship for Elsik. Senior Jim Woodfin explains, Sports is more than just playing the game, it's meeting and becom- ing involved with the people you play against. It is something that I was very proud to be a part of. Over 1000 students from all eight schools were involved in the annual District Dance in December. It was GSL's only fundraiser. Four to five students represented each school. Meet- ings were held at one of the participating schools, three times yearly. At the meetings, we discussed procedures for pre-game activities, planned the district dance, and discussed ways to promote good sportsmanship, says sponsor, Mrs. Thornton. M. Steele, J. Lucas, T.

Ramrod Board Members: The Arp's, the Skinners, the Shauniburgs, the Raineys, and the Tuckers. All photos by R. Law Ramrods Give Athletes A Boost Approximately one-hundred family members were involved in Ramrods to support the Elsik athletes. Ramrods helped with scholarships, fund-raising, run- ning concession stands, and putting together two banquets. A watermelon social kicked-off the beginning of the football season. By acknowl- edging coaches and players of all sports, and introducing them to the parents on Parent Night, they aided in the establishment of strong parent involvement. The family members raised money for the Football Banquet, Spring Banquet, cheerleaders, training room, equipment, and any scholarships that weren't purchased by the school. The Bar-B-Que with the Spring Game, and the Football Banquet, were new activities that the Ramrods organized.
