Closeness counted Physical touch, or contact as it is known in some areas, became a very real part of the lives of students at Edina-West. Not a day went by this year when one did not. in some way. shape or form, come in contact with another student or teacher. To the several hundred students involved in athletics, touch was a factor in most sports. In football or wrestling, the nature of the game was to come in contact with other players, without contact, there would be no game. In other sports, such as basketball and soccer. physical touch was a factor for completely different reasons. In those sports, players were penalized for too much contact with one another. Touch was also noticed in such areas as pushing and shoving at the Homecoming football game, or trying to weed through the crowds at Southdale during the holiday seasons. Infrequently it was evidenced during a skirmish at McDonald s or Perkins, when students would let their tempers flare. Physical touch came out in many more subtle and gentle ways. too. Students found touching as a means of expressing themselves, showing others that they cared for each other. Whether it be a friendly hug. a playful jab in the stomach or a tickling fight, they found that the atmosphere became much more relaxed afterwords. Edina-West also had the usual number of couples who found the time and place to snatch a warm embrace or a quick kiss. Whether teachers or students, male or female, it was obvious to those at Edina-West that physical touch was a means of communication. and whether it was loving or unloving, it was important.
