During the past year, the Boys' and the Girls' Intramural Sports Programs have provided a tremendous amount of recreational enjoyment for the student participants. The girls' program includes such sports as hockey, basketball, badminton, volleyball, archery, softball, tennis and tumbling. Of these, volleyball, basketball, and badminton have been the most popular. With the assistance of Miss Melosi, a Girls' Sports Association has been organized this year. Valerie Turner, President; Mary Lou Vreeland, Vice-President; June Zink, Secretary; and Ruth Hippie, Treasurer were elected to serve as officers for this year. The Association has established a series of Round-Robin Tournaments in various sports activities. Points can be earned by participation in these tournaments, and yearly awards are received by individual members as determined by the total number of points each has been able to accumulate. Dues collected during the year are used to hold an Association Picnic at the end of the season. In the boys' division, perfection of skills in basketball, badminton, and tumbling has been encouraged. Basketball games, Round-Robin Tournaments in badminton, and tumbling team demonstrations have highlighted the year's activities. Forming a pyramid is one of the favorite feats performed by the girls.
