Hm¥ ¥ memiL III III III One hundred and seventy pounds of iron rested on each side of the metal bar. Two young men slowly lifted the heavy mass of metal off the support- ing braces and placed it in the hands of a third young man lying face-up on a wooden bench. After a few slow breaths, he quickly drove the bar of weights upward, until his arms locked. This massive type of weight lift, called a bench press, strengthened the chest and arm muscles of many football players. Other lifts, such as thrusts, dips, and curls, were prac- ticed by a number of athletes in the Callaway athletic complex. After 3:15, while Callaway ' s muscle- men practiced body building, many Chargers proved their athletic versa- tility. Five weekdays of practice did not create disinterest among the mem- bers of the soccer team. On week- ends, they could be seen developing their skills on the school ' s field, or at other fields at Spann and McWillie schools. Swimming amassed many enthusi- asts among the students at Callaway. During the summer, and even in the hours of dawn before school, the hu- man fish of the Big C improved their racing times. Other Chargers participated in ev- erything from the refined sports of ballet, gymnastics, and horse riding, to jogging and tennis at the school ' s facilities. Outside their alma mater, the many students who remained unnoticed all year rivalled some of Callaway ' s most versatile Super Jocks with their athletic abilities.

THE The Dark Horses of Callaway rode again this winter. Through rain, snow, sleet, mud, and sub-zero tem- peratures, these faithful Chargers represented the big C with un- ending loyalty. The starting team, composed of ten juniors and one sophomore, finished with a season record of 4-3. Of the thirteen points scored this season, Mac Long and Mike Lindley led the team with five points each. Judson Chastain scored his point at a crucial time to beat Piney Woods 1-0. The Wing- field goalie accounted for one point, and the last resulted from a tie- breaker in which Hardy Mangum, Judson Chastain, Mike Lindley, and Mac Long each scored a penalty kick, and Mike Bass, the Charger goalie, skillfully blocked the last op- posing kick to win the tie-breaker and the game. Led by their new coach Miss Jane Adair, the young team held its own against the experienced teams. How- ever, every starter will be back next year, and experience will be on our side. TEAM MAMA.
