They formed a volleyball team, but had a little difficulty in winning any of their games. However, they did win a few of them. Their basketball team was not quite as lucky. They didn't win one game, but the girls all had fun playing games with other towns. The highlight of the year was the field trip to Minneapolis to see the Ice Follies. In the morning the girls all went shopping at Southdale. All the girls spent a lot of time and money there. It was a year well spent.
