The purpose of boys ' intramurals was to strengthen the fitness of boys and teach them good sportsman- ship. The boys competed in a vari- ety of sports, which included bas- ketball, football, wrestling, bowling, and volleyball. Supervising for each grade was done by their coaches Mr. Myers, Mr. Riley, Mr. Hogan, and Mr. Lohr. The Girls ' Athletic Association pro- vided a variety of sports for the members. Some of the sports were basketball, volleyball, and track and field. All members learned the importance of good sportsmanship and how to make good team effort. Miss Dorhman and Mrs. Schone in- structed the activities. Since not all boys can become members of varsity sports, intramural teams have been established. By participating in intra- murals boys learn the basic fundamentals of various sports.

The spirit of the team was boosted at each game as the girls cheered during all home football and basketball games. The girls were chosen at the end of the previous school year. That gave the girls an opportunity to practice throughout the summer. The freshman cheerleaders chose white A-line skirts with red sweaters for their outfits. The eighth grade girls cheered in red skirts and white sweaters. Mrs. Lantz, their sponsor, gave them help in any way she could. The eighth grade cheerleaders practiced very diligently this summer.
