ABOUT 100 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS A part of NOW has ticked away in moments of suspense at sports activities. From November to February , approximately seventy-five students p a r t i c ip a t e d in our basketball team. With almost daily practice, the teams exercised to keep in good physical condition. Basic skills in shooting, perfection of passing for teamwork, and various plays were continuously practiced. Physical stami- na and strength were some of the rewards of basketball. Of more importance, members of the team learned to work together. Games were not won by one player or by five individual players, but by the complete team through t e a mw o r k and unselfishnessf This team- work learned will be ap plie d in later life in various occupations. From March to May, the baseball team of approximately thirty boys p r a c t i c e d with earnestness in hopes of e nt e r i n g the Dis- trict Championship. Through this partici- pation, other physical skills were developed, but the basic facts of t e amw o r k and hard work still applied. Sp e ct at o r s , as wellas team members, reaped from the harvest of good sportsman- ship. For this, Fi e ldale Hi gh is noted. Truly, It is not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.
