Here at Barrington College we have tour intramural societies. The purpose ot these societies is to provide for the men ot the college an opportunity to compete in athletic activities. These activities include touch football, basketball, volleyball and softball. ln addition there are many individual events going on during the year that are not team centered. For instance, one may compete in the turkey trot, ping pong tournament, horse shoe tournament, tennis tournament, or bicycle racing. Winners of the various events are presented with trophies and the societies they rep- resent are given points. At the end of the year the society with the most points is named that year's champion and has its name placed upon the intramural plaque. I04
