Sports o 174g grotgos togothor wo groups, E-Club and FCA kept the student body busy throughout the year. E-Club began its year by choosing five senior girl and five senior boy candidates for the Homecoming festivi- ties. 'lhe group stayed active all year by attending a Ster- ling College basketball game, sponsoring the bas- ketball Frosh tournament, which was held February 16- 19, and working many con- cession stands. The E-Club's annual pic- nic was held May 4 in the high school gymnasium due to bad weather. Eighth grad- ers were invited to the event which gave them the chance to get to know members bet- ter and to learn more about the club. The evening con- sisted of eating hotdogs and playing volleyball for enter- tainment. On May 7 the Athletic Banquet ended the year for the group. The speaker was Merle 'Bones' Nay, Director for the Kansas Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The talk centered on honesty, togeth- erness and thanks. At the Athletic Banquet, the E-Club scholarship was awarded to seniors Mary Do- lezal and Nick Rodriguez in the amount of 5100. E-Club sponsors were Da- vid Stonebraker and Jerry Marsh. FCA is an organiation for Christian athletes. Fifty-four were involved in the group this year. Meetings were usually held every Wednesday at dif- ferent athletes' homes.
