Recreation clubs fulfill desires Striking competition provided spare excitement as the Bowling Club rolled their way through the year. Nearly sixty members formed thirteen teams that jockeyed for better positions in the race for first place. The degree of talent on the teams varied from novice to professional looking skill. Style was as different as talent; each individual had his own stutter-step or twisting kick. Averages had a strange way of rising and falling unpredictably. By encouraging each other, team members were inspried to victory. First place changed hands often, as underdogs upended favored teams almost every week. At the end of the season an awards picnic was held in which the four best teams received trophies and individual recognition was given to those with outstanding performances. Intense concentration grips Mike Flagg as he prepares to bowl a critical frame in an effort to keep his average up. Doug Aschvege floors himself for leaving an easy 5 pin.

Abundant trips and productions accounted for the unrivaled membership of over one hundred Statesmen in the Drama Club. The most popular excursion was the annual trip to New York, where the members attended three Broadway productions. A major five-day trip to several outdoor theaters took place before school began. Attending local dinner theaters and acting workshops rounded out the Drama Club's activities. In addition to these special activities, the members were vital in producing the fall musical, one- and three-act plays, and spring productions. The interest of the hundred-plus Drama Club members were well provided for with a program of various plays, excursions, and dramatic experiences, both on and off the stage.

Billy Johnson, Billy McAlarney, and Bruce Wil liams practice drills. Discipline was the only prerequisite of the Karate Club. Karate was a physical excerise that anyone could take part in. However, while open to girls, none were members. The active members met every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to receive free instruction from a Marshall brown belt. They also received special rates at the Oriental Sports Academy, with which the club was affiliated. In their instruction, stress was placed on form and technique; once basic skills were learned they could be combined to form a cota. Some club members did take part in Regional Meets. One of Marshall's newer clubs, the Karate Club received a great deal of support from its sponsor, Mr. Jeff Ring, as well as from the members, and led a very active year.
