Senior Tutoring at Lyons Jr. High. students returned from vacation with mixed emoTions: midyear exams were coming up but so was Batman. AchievemenT Tests were another obstacle for The seniors to overcome, and The returns of Their December S.A.T scores were as frustrating To the front office as To Them. OTher innovations for The; office To overcome were opTional salad bowls and the McBee sysTem. The basketball Team broke into The winning column by beating Ludlow 62-60, and later beat- ing Park School in the Louisville Tournament. However, they lost To a hot shooting Louisville Team in the finals, 75-64 The J.V.'5 record re- mained unscathed and The loss of many pIayers Through ineligibiIiTy added to Their problems buT helped Them To a perfect season - no wins.
