Some peo- ple fathom the question of why a person would enioy hit- ting a ball several feet on to the green trying to avoid the sand traps, ponds, the rough, and the trees. An avid golfer would say it was the chal- lenge and the intensity. Marc Rhodes, Junior golfer, I have played golf for eight years, l STANCE Candice Lords prepares to putt. enjoy the excitement. Golfers practiced many hours, the reward being im- provement of their own game as well as added team success. Golf, being a individ- ual sport gave the players a feeling of self-satisfaction from a victory and a realiza- tion for the need of improve- ment from a loss. Marc Rhodes learns, 'lTo keep calm, to think more about the situation I am in, to help achieve my goals. Another sport, this one not an individ- ual one, Powder Puff was a real crowd pleaser. The Pow- der Puff football game be- tween the Senior and Junior classes ended in a 7 to 7 tie. There was a heated contro- versy between the two teams over questionable calls by the officials and poor sports- manship displayed by both sides. Joe readied himself to putt, this shot meant it all. He gen- tly tapped the ball and fol- lowed through with perfect form, but his swing was just a little too hard and the ball rolled past the hole and halt- ed only inches away from its target.

Golf is a sport that requires the mind of patience of a sophisticated person. Not iust anybody has what it takes to be a successful player. To be a golfer one must have the determina- tion and coordination to learn the somewhat com- plicated techniques of the game. The golf team this year had many positive at- tributes which brought us a rewarding year. I have enioyed working with these players and I can only hope that they will continue playing golf in the future. OH NO!

CORNER POCKET Aiming carefully, Rose Bean takes her shot. INTENSE SKILL With her eyes closed, Karen Bain makes a perfect hit. 'Sf' , ldin Their Own . . . students also enioy individual sports. Many students this year were involved in sports out- side of school. Sports that weren't an organized part of the ordinary school ex- tracurricular activities. These uunorganized sports were a big part of some students lives. Several students were in- volved in swim team, wa- terskiing, and even life- guarding. There are those who windsurted, ietskied clitfdove, and a wide variety of other water sports. Many chose to play hackey sac, frisbee, croquet, darts, pool, and horsebackriding. l7O Individual Sports A sport that rapidly gained recognition among some students was skateboard- ing, ln all of these sports there were those who spe- cialized and gained preci- sion, and some students be- gan to gain individual rec- ognition. Students participated in individual and unorganized sports because they gave the participants a chance to expand their own interest without neccessarily putting them under the stress of competition. Some of the sports were competitive, but not as teams sports, such as race car driving, horse racing and marathon running. This gave the indi- vidual the opportunity to work on his own skills and particular interests in what- ever the students reason for participating. Everyone it seems was in- volved in some sort of indi- vidual or unorganized sport. Whether it was for tight competition or just a fun time together with friends, they were part of many stu- dents' Iifestyles and they will comntinue to keep people actively together in the fu- ture.
