Despite rumors of wild weekends and swinging parties, the Ski Club remained dedicated to the downhill racer. Open to all Marshall students who loved snow on the slopes, the Ski Club was an informal organization. The members did not hold regular meetings; instead, they gathered only when a trip was being planner!. Ironically, the group's sponsor, Mrs. Eloise Adams, a nonskier, did not accompany the Ski Club on its trips to Snowshoe, West Virginia and Sky-land in Charlottesville Virginia. For the Statesman who felt at home with a snowplow or slalom style, the Ski Club was the only logical club to join. Founded early in the school year, the Outing Club involved many students who enjoyed outdoor activities. Fall and Winter outings included rock climbing at Carter Rock, camping, and hiking. With the coming of warm weather numerous activities were planned such as picnics, hikes, and fishing. Outing Club members were also considering sponsoring an Orienteering Day which was comparable to a road rally except the territory would be the woods and the tools would be two feet, a compass, and a map. Meetings were held on Wednesday nights at school and approximately twenty students consistently attended. All adventurous students were invited to join and participate in the Outing Club's various activities.

Richard brown and’ A IWt 3I1HHU wcxkjdiligently on math practice drills for the learn. Calculating minds struggle Ratings were not exceptional, but improvements were evident, as the Math Team practiced every week. Individual talents were developed as they worked on problems ranging in difficulty from Algebra 1 on. For the first time, the team had their meets at Marshall; they were grateful for the convenience but did not find the atmosphere competitive enough. Only five members of the eleven on the team were sent to each meet, chosen by their progress at the practice sessions. Math team — Brian Messing, Becky Culhbertson, Heidi Haug, Richard Brown, Mr. Singleton, Craig Repp, John Me Morris, Andy Culhane, Alex Shang.
