F, as 331 'S lg.: Aexpressed by football players James ' Turner 4541, Homer Dowell C603 and Joe Athletes return. . . and they're off Well-rested and an inch taller at summer's end, ath- letes returned in the fall. By the end of the first football game, it was obvious they were off to a fresh start. Energy was abundant and spirits high, but try as they did, they came to the season's end with only one victory. This left the rest of the season in the hands of the vol- leyball team to win the first varsity district championship ever. Encouraged by their lead, the basketball team tied last year's record of 18 wins. Part of their confidence came from their own private locker room, its clean walls and floors and the pro basketball stars they stared at all over the walls. By the end of the year, the rest of the locker rooms smelled, the coke machines were busted and the coaches were exhausted. The year consisted of sprains, broken bones, a few cases of depression, the exultation of victory and many, many bars of soap. The athletics department also experienced a big loss this year. The accidental death of Sandy Berry, basketball and volleyball player, left a mark on her friends that they will never forget. In search of a way to say We love you, Sandy, close friends spent weeks helping the family. They also raised money to cover funeral expenses by playing a teacher- student volleyball game. The department as a whole proved that their individu- als were good sports, true friends and thankful for a fresh start in life. K hull' f Af? .3 1-Tl, ..,- - t i The perfect ser-up!
