Class members organized and operated the two day tournament which was held in the gyms. Special Olympians were welcomed to the campus by signs on the boulevard and in the gym. Four middle school teams were on campus for the first day of the tournament. Five high school teams competed on the second day for the honor of representing the Capital Area in the state tournament. The sophomores, serving as team hosts and cheerleaders, kept the tournament on schedule. Some students served as officials, kept the statistics, and operated the scoreboard and clock. The Special Olympians joined the sophomores for lunch in Webster Dining Hall followed by an awards ceremony in which all participants received ribbons. One sophomore said that working with Special Olympics, let me see that I have so much I take for granted. Other students commented, When you are around special people, it makes you realize that they do need your help, and they appreciate it when you're there for them. ; I learned that retarded doesn't mean not capable. ; Others have a need to be able to do everything that everyone else does, and I think that anyone who can help them achieve this in any way should. The sophomores realized that individually and collectively they can make a difference in the quality of life through community service. Commenting that they enjoyed the day of working together for the benefit of other people who need them, the sophomores recommended that the Special Olympics Basketball Tournament be a service project for next year. Sophomores 90
