Asked whether they attended any school activities, 86% of the 176 responding Seniors tabulated replied in the affirmative, while 14% disavowed any interest in games, plays and concerts. Observers of the sparse attendance at plays and concerts have assumed that a large part of this active group formed the football and basketball crowds, and rarely, if ever, appeared in the seats of the auditorium. Bucking the pressures of a fourth year at Marshall, lisa Barlow and Nancy Watt were frequently in the audience at school activities. shows statistics Robert I.

6£Z First time on the slopes! Dick Nanna experiment with short skis; short skis are the first step in the Graduated-Length-Method of learning to ski. Snowbound was one way to spend a weekend, as fourteen Seniors found out on the first Ski Club trip to Snowshoe, West Virginia, in early January. Skiing had become a favorite pastime fo many Marshall Seniors. Activated at Marshall by the Ski Club, interest in the sport had steadily increased over the past few years. The payment of fifty dollars insured three days of almost nonstop fun. Partying started on the bus up to such resorts as Seven Springs and Blue Knob Pennsylvania, and continued through the return trip. For those who actually went along to to ski, much of their time was spent picking up the pieces of adventurous beginners. Though few in numbers, serious skiers spent slope time perfecting their style. Sidney A. Neff Shane Neil ey Ait; Karate. |ohn Nit hoi Jeffrey Nichols Linda A. Niland Softball. Daniel E.
