Intramural Program begins a new tradition at Daviess County This year marks the beginning of a successful intramural program at DCHS. Mr. Waymond Morris made the deci- sion to begin the program in an effort to make school more enjoyable for the students. There are many intramural sports from which to choose from. Among these are soccer, basketball and volleyball. Racquetball and handball were originally among this list of events but due to the inavailability of the gym, such sports couldn't be established this year. Soccer was the first successful sport to begin the program and by far, the most popular. Many games were played between teams and one all-star team was selected to play against county rival, Apollo. Running in close competition for pop- ularity was basketball, the second most popular intramural sport. During the win- ter and holiday seasons the gym was open for practice. The most popular of these teams was the ilRejects . Coaches Denny Potts and Bill Taylor were appointed as intramural directors because of their willingness to work with students. They were in charge of scheduling and refereeing events. Mr. Morris stated that the success of the program is determined by the coaches and that Coach Potts and Coach Taylor did an excellent job. Participation is another factor which determined the success of the program. Although there was a great deal of stu- dent participation, the freshmen didn't show as much interest in the program as anticipated. Getting the freshmen and sophomores to school in the late evening posed a problem to the program. Mr. Morris stated that next year an attempt will be made to hold intramural activities directly after school facilitating the needs of those underclassmen who don't drive. Despite the late start and the limita- tions on the use of the gym, the pro- gram was 'la good start , says Morris. He also stated that the program will continue next year and will be better or- ganized.

The exhibit of the First Ladies Dresses was one of the many attractions to view in the American History Mu- seum of the Smithsonian. Located in front of the White House is this statue of George Sherman on his horse facing North, as if re- turning from his march to the sea. On a free afternoon, Becky McKay chose to return to the Smithsonian Museum of Fine Arts. President Classroom participants had the opportunity, during their stay in Washington, to spend the day on Capitol Hill. They met with each of their representa- tives and senators. 32fWashington Trip
