Burr-Reeve Joins PVC, Blue Chip Athletic Conference This athletic year at Barr-Reeve is indeed note- worthy since the Vikings were participants in two Athletic Conferences, The Patoka Valley Conference composed of Ferdinand, Winslow, Holland, Otwell, Ireland, Dubois, Christney and Birdseye. The big- ger school conference was the newly formed Blue Chip Athletic Conference with Loogootee, North Daviess, South Knox, North Knox, Springs Valley, Bloomfield, Mitchell, and Barr-Reeve, The Vikings did a commendable job in both of these conferences especially considering the fine athletic traditions of the majority of the schools involved. School Con- solidations are indeed putting the pressure on B-R as the competition is getting tougher, bigger and stronger each year, ' 'vu-u gk ,g23x,.llf 'f 4,..'2:'M, , -'afg.,,,.'2. 5. 5,1 v Y nf. f., ,,. -,i' ef 2' ' 4' z it Vqufff ,. ,, N ft.-cg 'ggi' V , , C1 .Q- This photo catches the harriers of area schools racing for the rib- bons around the perimeters of beautiful Indian Rock Lake, Barr- Reeve hosted the Blue Chip Conference Cross Cowitry Meet for the 1968 season. 1 1--59, . ..,. 4 ,.,Qy, , . -lv- .A .,4.,,.4 1 - Iwi

Craney, F. Michaels. During the 1968 Spring track season, many of these boys were members of the track team which captured the Daviess-Martin County Track Championship. Winning this coveted trophy which is displayed in the picture was a real accomplishment considering that opponents Loogootee, St. John's, Odon, Shoals, Elnora, and Plainville had a strong tradition in track events. Track like any other sport requires a team effort if the team is going to be successful. Class B Invitational Champions Tap Trackman Winners of the Bloomington Invitational Cross Country Meet displaying their first place trophy are from left to right Pat Hopkins, Glen Craney, Louie Haag and Steve Harrawood. Schools of less than 700 enrollment entered the Class B Division. More than 150 schools from over the State participated. This group of freshmen also finished among the lead- ers in both the PVC and the Blue Chip Conference Meets. The future in- deed looks bright with boys like these carrying the colors of Barr- Reeve High. TOM ASH Tom Ash the Barr-Reeve flash, is a common expression heard around the halls of B-R and rightly so. In the 1968 track season, Tom ac- cumulated a total of 106 points winning 15 blue ribbons, 6 reds and 1 white. The 100 and 220 yard dashesg the 220 relay and high jump were Tom's specialities,
